The P. M. Anderson was built by McCloskey and Company in Tampa, Florida and launched on November 28, 1943. She was used to trade sugar by A.H. Bull and Company and later used as store ship in the South Pacific.
In 1948, the ship was finally purchased by the Powell River Company and used as the first concrete ship in their giant floating breakwater.
