S.S. Santa Ana
(American Passenger-Cargo Steamship, 1918)

Fitting out at the William Cramp and Sons shipyard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, circa late 1918.
This ship served as USS Santa Ana (ID # 2869) between 11 February and 21 July 1919. She was renamed Guatamala, Santa Cecilia and Irwin while in commercial operation between the World Wars and was the Army transport and hospital ship John L. Clem during and shortly after World War II.
Note: This same photograph was also used on the official data card for USS Santa Luisa (ID # 2873), and may well show that ship refitting for commercial service in 1919, rather than Santa Ana.
