Her captain, Edward Atkinson formed the Ouse Steamship Company, and she was the first ship of this new company. On 28 August 1912 sister ship she was anchored midstream in Goole waiting to enter the lock, when a strong southerly wind caused ''Derwent'' to sheer into ''Ralph Creyke'' which was outbound with a full cargo of coal. The ''Derwent’s'' anchor chain became caught in the ''Ralph Creyke''’s propeller and her engines were stopped. The accident required the ''Ralph Creyke'' to be dry-docked to remove the chain.
