S.S. Carolyn (American Freighter, 1912)
In port, circa 1917-1918, probably at the time she was inspected
for possible U.S. Navy service.
This steamer was assigned the registry ID # 1608, but was not
taken over by the Navy during World War I. During World War II,
however, she became USS Atik (AK-101), a "Q-ship"
lost with all hands on 27 March 1942 as a result of an action
with the German submarine U-123.
