History

Empire Canyon was built for the MoWT. She was placed under the management of F Strick & Co Ltd. The Official Number 166216 and Code Letters BFKF were allocated and her port of registry was Dundee.[3]

Empire Canyon was a member of a number of convoys during the Second World War.

In 1945, management was transferred to Capper, Alexander & Co Ltd.[5] In 1947, Empire Canyon was sold to Alexander Shipping Co Ltd and renamed Holmbury,[1] the second Alexander Line ship to bear this name.[6] She was placed under the management of Houlder Bros Ltd.[1]
