Sale To Mexican Interests
Captain Basford and his son charted Islander for a while and ran Islander on the San Juan Islands route, however they did not succeed and Islander was sold to a Mexican concern. How long Islander remained in Mexico is unknown, although she appears to have either never been transferred or at least returned by 1920 or so, when the vessel was transferred from Puget Sound to California. Another source indicates that the sale to Mexican owners did not happen until about 1920.
