Borinquen (1931)
SS ''Borinquen'' was a passenger liner which was built in the United States in 1931.〔 After being requisitioned for troop transport service by the United States Army for World War II and continued service post war the ship was sold in 1949 and became the ''Arosa Star''. After further sales and change in the cruise ship regulations the ship was again sold and grounded as ''La Jenelle'' on the California coast in 1970.
==Construction==
''Borinquen'', designed by Theodore E. Ferris, was laid down at the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation's Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts 20 January 1930, launched 24 September 1930 and completed in 1931 with delivery 20 February 1931.〔 The ship's name comes from the Taino language name, ''Borikén'', for the island of Puerto Rico. ''Borinquen'' was delivered to the Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Steamship Lines (AGWI) for operation by AGWI's subsidiary, New York & Porto Rico Line.〔 ''Borinquen'' was similar in characteristics and design to the line's earlier ship, SS ''Coamo'' (1925) with the Lloyd's Register, 1930—31 showing the ship as ordered for the New York & Porto Rico Steamship Company with an original date of 1930, both stricken, with a new date 1931 and "Coamo S.S. Corp" with New York & Porto Rico Steamship Company as manager.〔〔〔Ship ownership may be a separate entity, for example a holding company, and "Coamo S.S. Corp" may have been such a holding company associated with AGWI.〕
The ship was propelled by single, impulse-reaction type, reduction geared turbines furnished with steam by oil fired tube boilers for about 6,500 horsepower.〔
