TSS Indarra was a twin screw steamship was the largest and most luxurious of all the AUSN ships (Australasian United Steam Navigation Company, Fremantle). Built by William Denny & Brothers at Dumbarton in 1913. She came in at 9,735 gross tons and was 451 feet long and could carry 470 passengers. After war service she was briefly chartered to the Orient Line and then put up for sale. Sold to Lloyd Royal Belge (Great Britain) Ltd. in 1920 for the Brazilian service she was re-named "Paes de Waes". She didn't and the company failed to meet repayments. She was repossessed by AUSN in 1925 and then in turn sold to Osaka Shosen Kaisha and renamed "Horai Maru". OSK removed some of her accommodation thus improving her stability. She was sunk in the Sunda Strait by American aircraft on 2nd March 1942.
