S.S. Lake Borgne Probably shown around the time of her delivery in September 1918. A ship of the same configuration but from a different Great Lakes shipyard, Lake Greenwood, ultimately became USS Stratford (AP-41) after two name changes and a major reconstruction as a passenger ship. Lake Borgne was built at Superior, Wisconsin, and was wrecked near Brest, France, in October 1918. Photo No. NH 65592 Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command |
