Egyptian was built in 1893 by Railton Dixon and Co Ltd at Middlesborough.
She was one of five trawlers built for the Albion Steam Fishing Co Ltd. She is the sister ship of the Dominican GY 406.
In 1894, she towed the fishing smack Vesta, presumably a smack, and later rescued the crew of the Norwegian schooner Arcamedes. The Egyptian was sold in 1915 to the Alan Steam Fishing Co, and in July 1916, her stern was severely damaged in a collision with a patrol vessel.
On 21st July 1916, the trawler was stranded while fishing about 12 miles south of Peterhead and became a total loss. No lives were lost.
