The Centesima was a four-masted steel barque, launched from the Workington shipyard of R.Williamson & Son in September 1893. Like her sister ship Iranian, she was operated by her builders. She was first commanded by Capt.T.B.Peters. In 1901 the barque was purchased by Visurgis AG of  Bremen, and who gave her a new name, Nauarchos. The vessel sailed for eight more years until she suffered a fire at Antofagasta in 1909 and was hulked.
