On dissolution of the Standard Oil Company in 1911 the "Daylight" was sold in 1912 to the Tank Storage and Carriage
Company Ltd. Three years later "Daylight" and other ships of that fleet were transferred to the Standard Transportation
Company of Hong Kong, a subsidiary of time Standard Oil Company of New York. She continued in the kerosene trade
from San Francisco to the Orient until she made her last round voyage to Manila in October, 1920, with 150,235 cases,
arriving back at San Francisco in June, 1921, with 1,428 tons of copra. This was her last voyage as a four-masted barque.
Tine "Daylight" was solt to Charles Nelson and Company, of San Francisco, in the summer of 1921 for the timber trade,
but her deep tanks made long timber difficult to stow and she lay in Oakland Creek until May, 1924, when she was sold
to James Griffiths and Sons of Long Beach, California, who quickly stripped her to her lower masts to become a barge
for the movement of gvpsum rock from San Marco on the Gulf of California to Long Beach.
Around 1934 the "Daylight" was laid up at Winslow, Washington, and remained there until 1942-43, when she was acquired
by Murray, Simonsen and Company Limited, of Rio de Janeiro, and renamed "Tangara" (3,811 gt). A twenty-year-old engine
was installed to work twin screws and a squat funnel was placed aft. Officially, she was of barquentine rig. The "Tangara"
continued to carry 2,000-toni oil cargoes in her deep tanks under the Brazilian flag until 1953 when she was broken up.
Rigging Notes:
When barque-rigged the "Daylight's" bowsprit was 61 feet. bore, main and mizzen masts were 173 feet deck to trunck;
jigger 153 feet. Her course yards were 100 feet between the plugs; royals 52 leer and her spanker boom 56 feet.
Topgallant masts and royal yards were of Oregon pine.
