Camas Meadows

From Victory Ships and Tankers by Sawyer and Mitchell:

1948: Sold commercial, same name. 1953: Laid up at Genoa.

The casualty which led to the loss of Camas Meadows occurred at Genoa during the weekend of February 19-21 1955, when one of the most sever south-westerly storms ever to strike the Italian port wrought havoc among ships, the port installations, and the harbor itself.

Raging seas and 100ft waves tore a huge hole in the western entrance mole, breached the eastern breakwater in several places and ripped six gaps in the central section. Piers, wharves and jetties were pounded and washed away; pipelines, installations and the new tanker docks were almost completely destroyed; and shipyards and industrial plant were severely damaged.

Many vessels with broke3n moorings dragged their anchors and were hurled against the quays or other vessels, causing serious damage. The Swedish ship Nordland (4,147GRT, 1946) was smashed against the quay, spring leaks, heeled over and settled on the bottom. Later the wreck caught fire, her cargo of calcium carbide exploded and the vessel was ripped apart.

The Camas Meadows (laid up in the port for many months) suffered a similar fate. At the height of the storm she broke her moorings and was pounded heavily against the quay. She flooded and then capsized. Still buoyant and floating bottom up she was subsequently found to have severe shell plating damage and to be holed at the bow. Her stern was also smashed, with the rudder and stern frame missing. Her funnel, masts and poop and bridge structures were mostly destroyed, their remains at the bottom of the harbor. In April 1955 the ship was declared a constructive total loss and was sold. At the end of July she was towed to Spezia and scrapped there the following month.

Towed to La Spezia, July 1955 and broken up by Cantieri Navali “Santa Maria”, S.p.A.

Pine Ridge

In 1961 the Newport News SB & DD Company was contracted to build a new midship section, which the joined to the salved afterpart of the Pine Ridge in 1962.

Sappa Creek

From Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships:

Sappa Creek, built under Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 544), was laid down on 17 April 1943 by the Alabama Dry Dock and Shipbuilding Co., Mobile, Ala.; launched on 15 September 1943; sponsored by Miss Martha Carroll; and delivered to the Maritime Commission on 29 October 1943.

Operating for the Maritime Commission during World War II by the American Trading and Production Corp., Baltimore, Md., Sappa Creek shuttled petroleum products across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom into November 1944. Then transferred to Pacific runs, she moved fuels into the Marshalls, Marianas, and Carolines. In November 1945, she retransited the Panama Canal and commenced peacetime runs from oil ports on the Texas coast and in the Caribbean to eastern American and western European shipping centers.

In the spring of 1948, Sappa Creek was transferred to the Navy. She was delivered to Marine Transport Lines, Inc., on 6 April for operation; and, on the 28th, she commenced her Naval Transportation Service career as USNS Sappa Creek (T-AO-141). As a contract-operated Navy ship, she continued her north European runs into 1949. Then, with the establishment of the Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS) in October of that year, she extended her range. In November and December, she moved from Hamburg, through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal, to the Persian Gulf; thence she retraced her route to the Atlantic and the east coast of the United States.

Sappa Creek next proceeded to New Orleans, where she remained inactive into April 1950; then she resumed her tanker operations with a run from Freeport, Texas, to Norfolk and Bremerhaven. From there, she proceeded to Bahrein before returning to Norfolk and the gulf coast. In mid-July, she moved north. In August, she delivered petroleum products to Narsarssuak, Greenland. From that Danish island, she returned to Freeport, whence she completed another voyage to Europe and the Persian Gulf. At the end of September, she departed Ras Tanura; moved east instead of west; and, in late October, she arrived in Japan to deliver her cargo for further distribution as needed by the United Nations effort in Korea.

She completed delivery of her vital supplies at Yokohama and continued eastward. On 17 November, she transited the Panama Canal. By the end of the month, she had filled her cargo tanks at Port Arthur, Tex. In early December, she reentered the Pacific; and, at the end of that month, arrived back at Yokohama. By 4 January 1951, she had offloaded at Yokosuka and was en route to the United States.

Between 19 January and 6 February, Sappa Creek shuttled oil between San Francisco and Pearl Harbor; then, in mid-February, she departed Long Beach for Yokohama. In March, she continued on to Bahrein, whence she headed for the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and Norfolk. In June, she returned to Port Arthur; and, at the end of the month, she sailed east to Dover and Rotterdam. In July, she resumed Texas, Caribbean, and east coast shuttle runs. In early December, she completed another transatlantic run to England; and, on the 22d, she again transited the Panama Canal, en route to Japan.

Arriving at Yokohama in January 1952, Sappa Creek completed a Japan-Persian Gulf-Japan run in late February. During March, she shuttled oil products from Sasebo to Pusan and Ulsan on the embattled Korean peninsula; and, in April, she returned to Bahrein, whence she continued on to the United States.

In late May, the tanker resumed operations on the gulf and east coasts and in the Caribbean. In October, she returned to the Pacific; and, by January 1953, she was again employed in carrying petroleum products from the Persian Gulf to Japan. The truce agreement in July brought a change in her schedule; and, in mid-August, she sailed for the United States.

After hostilities ceased in Korea, Sappa Creek remained in the MSTS fleet and, with only one interruption, Persian Gulf-Mediterranean runs in the fall of 1957, she was employed in the Pacific with frequent runs to the Persian Gulf for the next six years. On 7 December 1959, the T2 tanker was inactivated and returned to the Maritime Administration, the successor to the original Maritime Commission, and laid up at Suisun Bay, Calif., as a unit of the National Defense Reserve Fleet. Struck from the Navy list on 1 July 1961, she was still in the Suisun Bay Reserve Group as of July 1974. Final disposition unknown.

Wagon Box

From Victory Ships and Tankers by Sawyer and Mitchell:

1948: Sold commercial (same name).

This ship joined the fleet of National Bulk Carriers(D. K. Ludwig) in 1948. In December 1957 she was laid up at Kure, remaining there until 1961, when she was transferred to the British flag under control of the Argyll Shipping Company of Bermuda (of the Ludwig group) on condition that certain parts of the ship were scrapped. In 1962 she entered the National Bulk Carriers Inc. (Kure Shipyard Division) yard at Kure (the leased Japanese Navy shipyard) where she was converted to a self-unloading bulk carrier by fitting of new fore and midship sections (measurements: 465ft 10in overall, 9,121GRT, 10,990DWT). Renamed CORAL VENTURE. She left Kure in September 1964 to trade between the Bahamas and Jacksonville (and occasionally to Hampton Roads) carrying cement.

This service was founded on her owners' misfortune of buying large tracts of land on Grand Bahama Island and, in 1958, starting the construction there of a shipbuilding and repair yard. Difficulties with soft coral bottom forced the abandonment of the project but it was found that the soil was eminently suitable for cement making. This led to the erection of a cement plant and long-term charters for Ludwig-owned ships. Thus was commercial adversity turned to advantage.

On 1 May 1968, Abiqua arrived at Alabama SB & DD Co., Mobile AL for conversion into a dry cargo ship. The after part of Abiqua was joined to the forpart of Windsor (Alabama yard number 293), and retained the name Abiqua. (New measurements: 568ft oa x 78ft 6in, 14,640GRT, 25,820DWT) In February 1969, the old forepart of Abiqua was joined at Mobile to the afterpart of Windsor to form a storage vessel, renamed Bear Paw (10,000GRT).

1970: Bear Paw towed to Beaumont, TX where bow and midbody (discarded from Abiqua) were converted by Bethlehem Steel Company into a tank barge (measurements: 384ft x 68ft, approximately 5,000GRT). Renamed Tide Mar XIX. June 1970, reported remaining afterpart (formerly Windsor) scrapped in Texas.

Black River

From Victory Ships and Tankers by Sawyer and Mitchell:

August 1962, converted to bulk carrier. New midship section built by Iino SB & E Co., Maizuri, Japan (new measurements: 572ft x 75ft 2in, 13,858GRT, 21,900DWT).

In April 1956 and experiment was made with a new method of cargo carrying whereby loaded containers were carried on a specially designed deck constructed on a tanker in a "lift on-lift off" role.

The service, the forerunner of the container ship, involved the loading and sealing of a container at the factory, dispatch to the dockside and lifting of the container from its chassis to the deck of the ship. At the point of unloading, another chassis would be waiting for the container to be lifted onto it for hauling away by road.

Two T2 tankers, Potrero Hills (Marinship Yard No. 68) and Whittier Hills (Marinship Yard No. 71), units of the Pan-Atlantic SS Corp., an associate company of the Waterman SS Corp., were sent to Bethlehem Steel Co's yard at Baltimore in 1955 for alteration, and further ships, Coalinga Hills (Marinship Yard No. 61) and Maxton (Alabama Yard No. 353) werer acquired in 1956. The specially constructed deck fitted to the tankers was capable of carrying fifty-eight loaded containers each 33ft long. In no way was the oil carrying capacity of the ships affected. The service between Port Newark and Houston began with the inaugural sailing of Ideal X (ex-Potrero Hills), although the initial run was made previously by Maxton.
