USS Piave (ID # 3799), 1918-1919

USS Piave, a 6336 gross ton cargo ship, was built in 1918 at Kearny, New Jersey. Commissioned in December 1918, she was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service for trans-Atlantic service. Piave went ashore near Deal, England, while nearing the end of her first voyage. Though all those on board were rescued, the ship was broken up by wave action and became a total loss.
