Aroostook and Shawmut sailed from Portland, England to the United States on 14 December 1918.  She arrived at Hampton Roads two days after Christmas. The following day she unloaded her mine cargo onto barges in the York River.  Aroostook remained in the Hampton Roads area into the next year transferring mines and taking experimental mines from the mine planter Baltimore to the Mine Depot at Yorktown, Virginia.
