She began her last voyage shortly afterwards, returning to New York on August 6th 1919. There, she was decommissioned, struck from the Navy list, and returned to her owners on August 16th 1919. Wilhelmina remained under the Matson Line house flag through the 1920s and 1930s. In 1927, sold to British interests in 1940, Wilhelmina was in Convoy HX 90, steaming from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Liverpool in the North Atlantic, on December 2nd 1940 when the German Submarine U-94, part of a wolfpack that included U-47 of Scapa Flow fame, drew a bead on a tanker and the steamer W. Hendrik, and fired two torpedoes. Both missed but continued on to strike and sink Wilhelmina.
