Priwall was a four-masted steel-hulled barque with royal sails over double top and topgallant sails.[2] The windjammer was ordered by the F. Laeisz shipping company of Hamburg and launched at the Blohm & Voss yard, Hamburg, on 23 June 1917. After delays arising from a shortage of materials during and after First World War, she was completed on 6 March 1920.[3] Priwall was used on the nitrate trade route to the west coast of South America; she also made several voyages from South Australia's Spencer Gulf grain ports to Europe.[2] Her code Letters were RWLN;[1] in 1934 they were changed to DIRQ.[4]
