"Cyclops" was one of at least 30 ships that Alfred Holt lost in the Second World War. After the German and Japanese unconditional surrenders in 1945 the company started to restore its fleet. In 1948 Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company of Greenock, Renfrewshire completed a new "Cyclops" that was a motor ship. In July 1975 she was renamed "Automedon" and in December she was transferred to Elder Dempster Lines. She was scrapped in 1977.
