SS Asia was a steam cargo liner. She was built in Scotland in 1907 as Alice for the Austro-Hungarian shipping line Unione Austriaca, to take emigrants from Trieste to New York. From 1913 she worked a route between Trieste and Rio de Janeiro. Brazil interned her in 1914, and seized her in 1917. She was renamed Asia, and transferred to Lloyd Nacional. In 1920 she was awarded to France as part of war reparations, and transferred to Fabre Line, who at first ran her between Marseille and South America. In 1930, she was chartered to take Muslim pilgrims to Jeddah for the Hajj. She caught fire in Jeddah when full of pilgrims. More than 100 pilgrims were killed, the ship was destroyed. However, all of her crew survived, and the French government rewarded some of them for their actions in the rescue of survivors. The tragedy prompted controversy in France as to the conditions in which shipping companies carried Muslim pilgrims.
