[3] In February 1918 she was inspected for possible United States Navy service and assigned the Identification Number (ID) 2316.

The Navy ordered her acquisition, but it was cancelled shortly before the Armistice of 11 November 1918, and she remained in commercial service.

The storm carried away her radio aerial, so her wireless telegraphist was unable to send a distress signal.

Back at the bow section, the Great Yarmouth Coastguard had learned of the disaster at 9 p.m. and had called the Gorleston lifeboat to assist.

On the morning of 22 November the Gorleston lifeboat tried to rescue the remaining 15 crew, now sheltering in the chartroom, the highest point on the ship out of the water.

Blogg and his crew had stood by the stern section all night, and then after returning to Cromer, were immediately called back out to attend the bow.
