[1] She was launched on 17 September 1920,[2] completed in October 1920,[1] and named the SS Suremico.

[5] On June 3, 1927, while en route from Vancouver to Seattle with a load of lumber, she was involved in a collision in heavy fog with the French cargo ship SS Arkansas near the entrance to Strait of Juan de Fuca off Cape Flattery Light.

[7] Both ships were so heavily damaged that the Arkansas required towage to Seattle[6] and the USSB deemed the Suremico a total loss; and rather than repair her, the USSB removed her equipment and engines for the use of other ships in the fleet.

[8] In 1930, her hull was purchased by Pioneer Transportation Company, renamed Nisqually, and converted into a barge.

[1] On 8 December 1941, she was bombed and sunk by Japanese planes during the Battle of Wake Island.
