Completed in 1969, the American Lark was one of US Lines' "Lancer-class" container ships, which were among the very first purpose-built container ships, as opposed to container ships which were converted from pre-existing ships built for other purposes. They must have been pretty successful because all of them lasted into the next century, with the American Lark not being scrapped until 2010.
