the ship with the name changed to Mormacpine. Mormacpine made a few trips to help with the Korean War between 17 September and 2 August 1953. While departing San Pedro on 27 September 1959, in foggy conditions, the bow of Mormacpine rammed the boat Jane off the coast of Cape Flattery. Jane, a 49 foot wood fishing boat, was hit on her port side at about 3 or 4 knots and sank in about 3 minutes with the loss of two of her five crew members. It was ruled that the cause was twofold, Mormacpine was going too fast for the fog and Jane had no forward lookouts at the time of the crash. The fog limited visibility to 500 to 1,000 yards. Jane did not show up on Mormacpine radar due to her small size and wood hull. Mormacpine crew spotted Jane 1,000 yards off her starboard bow and put her engines into full reverse that slowed her to about 3 to 4 knots. No fines were made due to the accident. On 28 March 1964, one of Mormacpines holds caught fire. She was steaming from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil to New York City, New York with a load of sisal fibre and cocoa beans. A Coast Guard plane saw the fire from the air and depatched the Coast Guard cutter Half Moon to help. With no engines, she was towed to St. George's, Bermuda and arrived after midnight. None of the 47 crew members were harmed due to the fire. In St. George's harbor her cargo hold fire was put out. In June 1970, the ship ceased operation and was scrapped at Kaoshung, Taiwan shortly after.
