The ''Ångermanelfven'' was used on trading routes between Hamburg and Sweden until the First World War began in August 1914. After World War I, she was transferred to Great Britain as part of Germany's reparations for shipping losses and was acquired by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1921. Renamed ''Baychimo'' and based in Ardrossan, Scotland, she completed nine successful voyages along the north coast of Canada, visiting trading posts and collecting pelts.
