Photo #: NH 102176
SS San Jacinto (American Freighter, 1903)
Possibly photographed after repairs to her hull after the 11
July 1918 collision that sank USS Oosterdijk (ID # 2586).
Note what appears to be freshly renewed plating at her bow.
This steamship was operated during World War I by the Army. She
was considered for acquisition by the Navy (with ID # 1531),
but remained under Army control.
