The Kingdom, a religious organization founded by Frank Sandford, purchased the ship in 1905 for $10,000 and took it around the world on prayer missions, including to Palestine.

Coronet took a poorly planned missionary voyage to Africa in 1911 which resulted in six persons on board dying of scurvy.
