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).
