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.
