| Description |
English: West Ekonk (American Freighter, 1918)
Underway, probably during her trials in July 1918, while painted in pattern camouflage. She had been launched by the Skinner & Eddy Corporation shipyard, Seattle, Washington, on 22 June 1918, after being on the building ways for only 57 work days. Delivered by her builder on 13 July 1918, she was placed in commission the same day as USS West Ekonk (ID # 3313). The ship was returned to the U.S. Shipping Board on 9 April 1919. She later became British merchant ship SS Empire Wildebeeste and was sunk during World War II. The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
