Isla de Panay, an auxiliary cruiser and transport, was built as a merchant ship in 1882. During the Spanish-American War, she was taken over by the Spanish Navy. Isla de Panay was part of the abortive Philippines relief expedition of June-July 1898. Returned to commercial service following the war, she was wrecked on 7 December 1929.
