Thanks for the comment and info.Chris, they certainly were a great boost for us in those dark days.
Kind regards
Ken

Many thanks for the comment Kyle and also the additional information, I like the comparison with the DC-3, quite appropriate really timewise.
Kind Regards
Ken

More or less the DC-3 of cargo ships, too. Three are still in commercial "service," one as a landlocked fish processor in Kodiak, AK and two as floating vehicle quays in Portland, OR.
Great capture of her, Ken.
Regards, Kyle

Even a decade after the war they were still in the limelight, though most were laid up, one John Sargent became the first merchant ship to be powered by gas turbines and have a CP prop, the latter common to most ships now.
