Post-war Conversions
Three were converted to passenger/cargo ships for the Union Steamship Company of British Columbia, and were known as the White Boats (see Twigg). They were operated from 1946 to 1958, but were heavy on fuel and had limited cargo capacity, for example they could not carry cars in the hold.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
