Ship Name and Designation History
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.
Steel-hulled Screw Steamer Returned to Grace Lines of New York 1919 Acquired by U.S. Army Transportation Service April 1941 and renamed Decommissioned March 24 1942 Returned to U.S. Army Transportation Service and renamed Struck from Navy Register May 8 1943 Converted to Hospital Ship Out of Service (Date unknown) Returned to War Shipping Administration Transferred to U.S. Public Health Service April 1946 Used as floating isolation ward at Jacksonville, FL Returned to Maritime Commission April 14 1947 Laid up in National Defense Reserve Fleet Brunswick, GA Transferred April 14 1948 to National Defense Reserve Fleet, James River Group, Virginia Sold May 20 1957 to Bethlehem Steel Corp. for scrap |
 |
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.
Postmarks
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
