Steamship Nevada
(American Freighter, 1915)

Photographed from the deck of the USCGC Comanche (WPG-76) as Nevada was foundering in the North Atlantic, circa 15-18 December 1943.
Comanche was able to rescue twenty-nine of those on board Nevada, but thirty-four lost their lives during the abandonment of the storm-crippled ship.
In 1918-1919 Nevada had briefly served as USS Rogday (ID # 3583).
