In June 1941 "Archibald Russell" was detained by the British government, after Finland joined the war on the German side. During the rest of the war, the ship was used as a store ship at Goole. After the war the ship was returned to its Finnish owner (in 1948), but soon after was sold to the British Iron &amp; Steel Corporation in 1949, and broken up later that year by J.J. King &amp; Co., of Gateshead-on-Tyne.
