S.S. West Zucker (American Freighter, 1918)
Underway, probably during builder's trials, circa November 1918.
Built by the Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Drydock Company at
Los Angeles, California, this ship was transferred to the Navy
upon completion. She was placed in commission as USS West
Zucker (ID # 3584) on 20 November 1918 and returned to the
U.S. Shipping Board on 29 March 1919.
Note her "dazzle" camouflage.
