Rewa ran aground at the Suez Canal in November 1906 but was refloated.[1]. Later in 1918 she was hit by a torpedo 19 mi (31 km) off en:Hartland Point. The ship took around two hours to sink, allowing all wounded and ship's crew to board lifeboats except for the four engine men who died in the initial explosion.She was not grounded at any point during that incident.[2]
