Her last pay load under sail and last trip as a Finnish Ship. In November , as the ship lay in Kristiansand, Norway which was occupied by Nazi forces, the German troops confiscated the Moshulu and stripped of her masts and spars.
Another barque of Erickson, the Olivebank was sunk in a German minefield with her Captain and 13 crew. Shorn of masts and rig, these being destroyed by a bombardment, she broke her moorings, capsized in a gale near a beach close to shore off Narvik in , only to be refloated and put into early retirement.
She was then purchased by the Finnish State Granary in for 3, tons of Russian rye, only to become a grain storage hulk in Finland.

She continued in the grain trade until The Moshulu won the race.
