The Reina de Pacifico was a large, luxurious ship. Launched in 1930, she was the first in the company's fleet to be painted white, and her front funnel was a dummy. She gained international fame when former British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald died on board while on a cruise to South America in 1937.
