 Unlike "Valencia" and "Caracas", "Maracaibo" was registered under the British flag, as she did not operate into the United States.Voyages on "Valencia" and "Caracas" were scheduled twice a month, once for each ship, and lasted around 26 days.In 1888, "Caracas" was sold to Thomas Egenton Hogg of the Oregon Pacific Railroad Company and renamed "Yaquina Bay".
