The Chincha Islands War between Spain, Chile and Peru would cross the 1866 plans for the "Adolf van Nassa"u. The plans were that she would make a cruise to Istanbul and other places in the Mediterranean. In January she was redirected to Vlissingen. On 31 January 1866 the "Adolf" seemed to have left for Vlissingen, but it was 2 February before she did. On 4 February she reached Vlissingen and then immediately continued to Terneuzen in company of the screw schooner "Frans Naerebout".
