Post-war Civilian Service
In 1958 United Fruit transferred Talamanca and her sisters Quirigua and Veragua to its British subsidiary Elders and Fyffes. Talamanca was renamed SS Sulaco after an earlier Fyffes ship of the same name.
As Sulaco the ship served in the Fyffes fleet until she was retired in 1964. On 28 July that year she arrived in Bruges, Belgium to be scrapped. She was broken up in 1965.

Famous quotes containing the words post-war and/or service:
“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)
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
