S.S. Saetia (American freighter, 1918)
This ship was completed at Wilmington, Del., on 1 March 1918 and
immediately commissioned in the Navy as USS Saetia (ID
# 2317). This photo may have been taken when the ship was inspected
by the Fourth Naval District a few weeks earlier, on 8 February
1918, following her allocation to the Navy for manning and operation.
Saetia was sunk by a mine off the Maryland coast on 9
November 1918.
