On August 20, 1896 she was involved in a single-fatality collision with the steamer FLYER, although neither vessel was damaged beyond repair. Starting in 1898 the Seattle Steamship Co. operated the UTOPIA on a twice-monthly Puget Sound-Skagway-Dyea service carrying 24 first-class and 54 steerage passengers.

The UTOPIA was chartered by Harold Lloyd for the filming of the 1925 picture Winds of Chance. In 1926 she was sold and scrapped. (Source: Newell, Gordon, ed. "The H.W.
