S.S. West Grama (American Freighter, 1918)
Underway, possibly while in Naval service in 1919.
This ship was acquired by the Navy and placed in commission on
9 January 1919 as USS West Grama (ID # 3794). She was
returned to the U.S. Shipping Board on 16 June 1919.
Note that she wears a peacetime paint scheme, but flies a Jack
at her bow.
The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
