She was purchased by the Canadian Pacific Railway on December 29, 1897, departing from Southampton for Vancouver, Washington February 12, 1898. On the way, Athenian made the first call at Honolulu by a Canadian Pacific vessel (p 37). She was scrapped in 1908 after being sold to a Japanese buyer (p 143).

The Seattle Daily Times June 4, 1900 and June 5, 1900, gives the name as Athenian, not Athenian. The article on June 5 states, "Among the Athenian's passengers are 130 civilians under charge of Lieutenant Knudson. They are to be employed in the construction of various government buildings in St. Michael and Nome. she has a cargo of 130,000 feet of lumber, 400 tons of coal, four lighters, and eighty mules and horses." |
