It is not clear from the sources consulted so far what sorts of activities MC&S were involved in during the 1910s although some ships were sold to the Navy just prior to US entry into World War I in 1917, including the Relief and subsequently purchased back after the war's end.

—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
“Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.”
