The Dutch newspaper Het nieuws van den dag dated 10 June 1908 reported that she was lying in the inner canal in Ijmuiden destined towards Buenos Aires, just newly built coming from the shipyard. She intended to cross the Atlantic sailing while she was lacking sufficient coal bunker capacity and so she was now rigged. The newspaper Haarlem’s Dagblad dated 24 October 1907 mentioned the arrival in IJmuiden of the tug Presidente Baez built at the shipyard Conrad and destined to sail to Asuncion where she would be converted in to a steamboat.
