WORLD WAR I ERA CARGO SHIPS --
with One Smokestack, Two Single Masts, Three Raised Hull Islands, and One Pair of Kingposts Forward of the Bridge Face

Eight of the U.S. Navy's WWI era cargo ships had one smokestack, two single masts, three raised hull islands, and one pair of kingposts forward of the bridge face.

To facilitate identification, these vessels have been placed in four sub-groups, some containing ships of essentially identical design ("sister ships"), while others consist of quite different designs. The latter are further subdivided as to whether they were built in the United States or abroad.

This page features a table (with links to individual ships) of World War I era U.S. Navy cargo ships with one smokestack, two single masts, three raised hull islands, and one pair of kingposts forward of the bridge face, plus a photograph of each ship in this group.

Ships in this group:

EIGHT SHIPS with ONE SMOKESTACK (Funnel), TWO SINGLE MASTS, THREE RAISED HULL ISLANDS, AND ONE PAIR OF KINGPOSTS FORWARD OF THE BRIDGE FACE, subdivided as shown below:
