SS El Sol
SS ''El Sol'' was a cargo ship built in 1910 for the Morgan Line, a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company. During World War I, she was known as USAT ''El Sol'' in service with the United States Army and as USS ''El Sol'' (ID-4505) in service with the United States Navy. At the end of war, she reverted to her original name of SS ''El Sol''.
SS ''El Sol'' was one of four sister ships that carried cargo and a limited number of passengers for the Morgan Line. She was acquired by the U.S. Army after the United States entered World War I in April 1917, and converted to carry horses and mules to France. In August 1918, the ship was transferred to the U.S. Navy and continued transporting animals through the end of the war.
''El Sol'' returned to the Morgan Line in 1919 and sailed with them until March 1927, when she sank in New York Harbor after colliding with ''Sac City'' of the American Diamond Line. A portion of the ship's cargo was salvaged but the ship was scrapped later in the year.
