-- U.S. NAVY SHIP TYPES --
WORLD WAR I ERA CARGO SHIPS --
with One Smokestack, Two Single Masts, Three Raised Hull Islands, and Two or More Pairs of Kingposts
Thirty-five of the U.S. Navy's WWI era cargo ships had one smokestack, two single masts, three raised hull islands, and two or more pairs of kingposts.
To facilitate identification, these vessels have been placed in seven sub-groups, some containing ships of essentially identical design ("sister ships"), while others consist of quite different designs. The latter are further subdivided as to whether they were built in the United States or abroad.
This page features a table (with links to individual ships) of World War I era U.S. Navy cargo ships with one smokestack, two single masts, three raised hull islands, and two or more pairs of kingposts aft of the bridge face.
Ships in this group:
THIRTY-FIVE SHIPS with ONE SMOKESTACK (Funnel), TWO SINGLE MASTS, THREE RAISED HULL ISLANDS, AND TWO OR MORE PAIRS OF KINGPOSTS:
