USS Kermoor
(1918-1919)

This freighter was built in England in 1907 as the Austro-Hungarian Morawitz and was seized by the United States in April 1917. She served in the U.S. Navy from November 1918 to May 1919 without being assigned an identification number.
Here an unidentified artist depicts her "homeward bound" with a long pennant flying from her mainmast. Her final westward transatlantic crossing took place in March 1919. The same artist probably produced a view of another cargo ship, USS Munwood (ID # 4460), that is in our collection as Photo # NH 103227 and may have similarly depicted other Navy ships.

Donation of Captain Stephen S. Roberts, USNR (Retired), 2007.
