Halftone reproduction of a photograph taken circa 1941.
Built in 1918, this ship served as USS Santa Ana (ID #
2869) in 1919, then had more than two decades of commercial employment.
She became the U.S. Army Transport John L. Clem in 1941,
serving in that role until September 1943, when she began conversion
to an Army hospital ship. She returned to transport service between
September 1945 and January 1946.
