Ordered by Rederi AB Svea, Aeolus was built by Lindholmens Mechanical Workshop in Gothenburg.[1] She was powered by a coal-burning reciprocating steam engine.

Aeolus operated mostly in the Baltic Sea, mainly between Stockholm, Copenhagen, Lübeck, and Riga.[2]

Aeolus was severely damaged by fire at Stockholm on 9 April 1926.[3]

She was broken up in 1956.
