RMS Tahiti was originally built as the RMS Port Kingston in 1904 for Imperial Direct West India Mail Co. In 1911, she was purchased by the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand, refitted at Bristol and renamed Tahiti. She was intended for the route Sydney to San Francisco via Wellington, Rarotonga and Tahiti; she made her first voyage on 11 December 1911.
