The SAN GIOVANNI was built in 1907 by Sir J. Laing & Sons, Ltd., Sunderland for the Italian company Sicula Americana. She was a 6,592 gross ton ship, length 430ft. x beam 52.7ft., two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 14 knots. There was accomodation for 30 first, 60 second, and 1,800 third class passengers. Launched on June 27, 1907, she sailed from Naples on her maiden voyage to Messina, Palermo and New York on October 14, 1907. In 1912 she was refitted to carry lst and 2nd class passengers only. In August 1917, the company was absorbed into the Transoceanica Societa Italian di Navigazione. In 1921 the San Giovanni came under the ownership of Navigazione Generale Italiana, who renamed her "Palermo." She was scrapped in 1928.
