Covadonga
(Spanish naval steamship, 1884-1911)

Probably photographed at Port Said, Egypt, during her service with Admiral Camara's squadron, June-July 1898. This force, sent from Spain to relieve the Philippines, passed Port Said eastbound on 26 June 1898, and westbound on 11 July.
Covadonga was requisitioned for naval service in 1898, and soon returned to merchant service. Built as the British Tainui, she was scrapped as Astoria in 1911.
