Possibly named after the Sutlej Campaign along the river of that name in the First Sikh War of 1845-6, or maybe just the river itself as the sister ships seem to be named after rivers with no particualr military connections! </br>

Masterful deduction, thanks! Here's what I can find about her:</br> SUTLEJ: 4,164 grt; 390 x 42; Barrow Shipbuilding Co., Barrow, 1882; Australia service; 140 First class, 60 Second class passengers; sisters: CLYDE, GANGES, and THAMES; broken up France 1901. http://www.lascars.co.uk/shiplist.html</br>
Can't find any further images - can anyone help?
