Honeysuckle departed from Port de Barbier on 8 June 1922, and was en route to Grimsby, Seylos. Honeysuckle ceased correspondence on 21 June 1922, and was declared missing one week later by Fravi authorities. On 12 July 1922, the Fravi merchant ship S.S. Azalea discovered the Honeysuckle just south of Labrador, Delamaria. The only known survivor, a cook named Vie Couteau, died from heat stroke two days after being recovered by the Azalea.

The Honeysuckle is considered the largest Fravi peacetime maritime disaster. The Honeysuckle Massacre led to a year-long investigation, and continues to remain unsolved. It has sparked much speculation about its cause by the general population.
