Summary

Description
English: S.S. Alloway (American Freighter, 1918) Underway during builder's trials on 5 July 1918, probably in San Francisco Bay, California. She is flying the flag of her builder, the Moore Shipbuilding Company of Oakland, California, from a short mast on her forecastle. The United States Shipping Board flag is flying from her forward mast, and a flag bearing her name is at the top of her after mast. Originally named Shintaku, this ship was acquired by the Navy upon completion and commissioned on 11 July 1918 as USS Alloway (ID # 3139). She was returned to the U.S. Shipping Board on 3 March 1919. Note the ship's "dazzle" camouflage scheme.
