Remarks
It was the 64th Victory Ship launched with her keel laid on 21 Apr 1945 and delivery for use on 27 Jun 1945. She transported vital supplies to overseas US and Allied Forces during the last few months of WW II.
The ship was sold to a private firm in 1947, and carried commercial cargo under three different names until 1971 when records show the vessel was sold to be recycled into scrap metal.
