Anselm was a cargo and passenger steamship built by Workman, Clark and Company in Belfast for the Booth Line service between Liverpool and the Amazon ports in Brazil. It was the second of four Booth Line ships to be named after Saint Anselm.
In 1922 an Argentinian shipping company bought Anselm and renamed it Comodoro Rivadavia. In 1942 the Argentinian government bought it and renamed it Rio Santa Cruz. It suffered a boiler explosion in 1952 and was scrapped in 1959.
