Requisitioned by the Imperial German Navy in 1914, she served until 1915 as SMS A and was then returned to her owners. Ceded to the United States in 1919, she was operated until 1920 then laid up following an engine failure. In 1927, she was sold to Italian owners. Her diesel engine was replaced by a triple expansion steam engine and she was renamed SS Gianna M. In 1941, she was captured by {{HMS|Hilary|1931|6}}, passed to the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT) and was renamed SS Empire Control. She was sold into merchant service in 1948 and renamed SS Kleinella, serving as a storage hulk at Gibraltar until 1953, when she was scrapped.

She was returned to her owners in June 1915. In June 1919,[2] she was delivered to the United States as part of Germany's war reparitions. She was operated under the management of the Standard Oil Co. Wotan departed London on 22 December 1920 bound for New York, but suffered engine trouble on the voyage. She was then laid up at Baltimore, Maryland.[1]In 1927, Wotan was sold to the Compagnia Italiana Trasporto Olii Minerali, Genoa. She was fitted with a triple expansion steam engine and renamed Gianna M.[1] The ship was now assessed at {{GRT|5719|link=off}}, {{NRT|3,396}}. The code letters NRJL were allocated.[2] In 1934, her code letters were changed to IBAO.[5] In June 1940, Gianna M was laid up at Las Palmas, Canary Islands. On 11 May 1941, Gianna M was captured by the Armed Merchant Cruiser {{HMS|Hilary|1931|6}} whilst attempting to reach Bordeaux, France.[2] On 13 May,[6] Hilary and Gianna M joined Convoy HG 61, which had departed Gibraltar on 6 May 1941 and arrived at Liverpool on 20 May.[7] On 18 May, Gianna M was slightly damaged in an air raid on the convoy.[7] Gianna M was escorted into Belfast. She was passed to the MoWT and renamed Empire Contract.[1] Her port of registry was changed to London. The Code Letters BPWC and United Kingdom Official Number 149772 were allocated.[8] Initially operated under the management of the Eagle Oil and Shipping Company Ltd, Belfast,[2] management later passed to Davies & Newman Ltd.[8] In 1945, Empire Control was laid up at Falmouth, Cornwall. It was intended that she would be converted to a factory ship. In 1948, she was sold to the Shell Company of Gibraltar Ltd, London and renamed Kleinella. She was used as a storage hulk at Gibraltar.[1] In 1953, she was sold for scrapping to Clayton & Davie Ltd, Dunston-on-Tyne, Northumberland, arriving on 14 July.[2] Kleinella was scrapped in December 1953.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite book |last1= Mitchell |first1=W.
