S.S. Minnesotan (American Freighter, 1912)
Photographed prior to her World War I era Naval service, possibly
when she was inspected by the 4th Naval District on 26 January
1916.
Acquired by the Navy on 23 August 1918, she was placed in commission
on that day as USS Minnesotan. She was decommissioned
on 21 August 1919 and transferred to the U.S. Shipping Board
for return to her owner. Her registry ID #, 4545, was probably
assigned about 1922.
