Built as Louis XIV for the company Quesnel Frères, the ship was purchased by the newly founded Compagnie des Chargeurs Réunis, and renamed Belgrano while on keel. Launched on 24 April 1872,[2] she shuttled between La Plata and Le Havre,[1] carrying immigrants to Argentina.[2]
In 1880, Belgrano was transformed into a cooling ship and ferried meat from Argentina to France.[2]
