After the 1908 Messina earthquake, La Veloce lent "Città di Napoli", "North America", and "Savoia" to the Italian government, in order to shelter the victims. La Veloce re-obtained the ship in 1909, and it was scrapped in Genoa the following year. With a lifetime of 38 years, the ship was the last of the Oceanic class to be scrapped.
