S.S. Elinor (American Freighter, 1918)
Possibly photographed at Baltimore, Maryland, on 25 February
1918, when she was inspected by the Fifth Naval District.
Built by the Baltimore Dry Dock and Shipbuilding Company, and
originally named General de Castlenau, this ship was taken
over by the Navy for World War I service and placed in commission
on 20 March 1918 as USS Elinor (ID # 2465). She was decommissioned
and returned to the U.S. Shipping Board on 26 April 1919.
