S.S. Cajacet, a 5825 gross ton freighter, was built at Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1920. Originally ordered as part of the World War I shipbuilding program, she was constructed for the United States Shipping Board to the Emergency Fleet Corporation's Design 1018. Cajacet became Willsolo when sold later in 1920 to a private operator and was renamed Georgian in 1929 after purchase by the American Hawaiian Steamship Company. The War Shipping Administration took control of her in 1942 and for the rest of the war she was operated for that agency by American Hawaiian. Redelivered to her owner in 1946, she was sold to a foreign shipping firm later that year and became Norlanda. The now elderly ship was scrapped under that name in 1959.
This page features the only view we have concerning the freighter Georgian, which was also named Cajacet and Willsolo.
