In 1916 the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey acquired her and renamed her Healdton, after the city of Healdton, Oklahoma. In March 1917 two explosions sank her off the Dutch coast in the North Sea. 21 of her crew were killed, including seven US citizens. Survivors reported seeing a submarine surface just after they abandoned ship. This is one of several sinkings of US merchant ships that helped to provoke the US
