Prince Goerge saw brief service as a hospital ship for the Royal Canadian Navy during World War I. In 1945 the ship caught fire in the harbour of Ketchikan, Alaska. The burned hulk was beached on Gravina Island where it remained for the next few years until it was towed to Seattle, Washington and broken up for scrap.

In September 1950, Prince George collided with the Canadian Pacific coastal liner SS Princess Kathleen. The ship was sold in 1976 for use as a floating restaurant, and passed through the hands of several different owners. In October 1995 she caught fire at Britannia Beach, BC, and was subsequently sold for scrap.
