Halftone reproduction of a photograph taken in 1944-1945.
Built in 1918, this ship served as USS Santa Ana (ID # 2869) in 1919. While in commercial service between the World Wars she was named Santa Ana, Guatamala, Santa Cecilia and Irwin. In 1941 she was purchased by the War Department. After two years as the U.S. Army Transport John L. Clem, she was converted to a hospital ship, serving in that role from June 1944 until September 1945.
