Photo #: NH 100252
S.S. Coronado (American Freighter, 1918)
Photographed on her trial trip, 15 January 1918, probably in
San Francisco Bay, California.
Built by the Moore and Scott Iron Works of Oakland, California,
as their Hull # 113, this ship was originally ordered by the
British Government for operation by the Cunard line as War
Bay. Taken over by the U.S. Government after the United States
entered World War I, she was similar to many ships built under
U.S. wartime emergency ship construction programs.
