Alicante, a 4031-ton hospital ship, was built at Dumbarton, Scotland, in 1889 as the merchant ship Pegu. Purchased by a Spanish firm in 1896, she was renamed Alicante. During the Spanish-American War, she was used as a hospital ship. Returned to commercial service after 1898 and reduced to a coal hulk in 1931, she was bombed and sunk at Barcelona in 1939. Her remains were raised and broken up the following year.
