The merchant marine cadet training ship Texas Clipper served during WW-II as the attack transport USS Queens (APA-103), and after the war as American Export Lines' Excambion. In 1965 she was converted into a training ship.
USNS Dutton was a survey vessel converted from a WW-II Victory cargo ship, Tuskegee Victory.
In the background are three Andes-class cargo liners that formerly belonged to Lykes Lines; Gulf Banker, Gulf Trader and Gulf Shipper.
All of these ships have since been scrapped with the exception of Texas Clipper, which was sunk as an artificial reef in 2007.
