USS General J. C. Breckinridge
(T-AP-176)

Alongside a pier at Fort Mason, the U.S. Army's port of embarkation at San Francisco, California, circa the early 1950s. A sister transport is on her left, and one of three Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS)-operated storeships of the Bald Eagle (T-AF-50) class is on her right. This was the normal eastern terminus of Breckinridge's trans-Pacific voyages.
These piers still exist as part of the Fort Mason Center, a National Historic Landmark and cultural center.
