Later Career
American resumed cargo service with American-Hawaiian after her return from World War I service. Though the company had abandoned its original Hawaiian sugar routes by this time, American sailed in inter-coastal service through the Panama Canal. In June 1925, American-Hawaiian announced its intent to acquire six steamers from W. R. Grace and Company. Later in the year, American was renamed Honolulan in order to free her name for the newly acquired Santa Barbara. In 1926, Honolulan was sold for scrap. She was taken to Osaka, Japan, and was broken up some time after her arrival there in November that same year.

“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
