SS West Loquassuck
SS ''West Loquassuck'' was a steel–hulled cargo ship built for the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation in World War I. After completion on 15 October 1918, the ship was immediately commissioned into the U.S. Navy as USS ''West Loquassuck'' (ID-3638), just weeks before the end of the war.
USS ''West Loquassuck'' undertook several transport missions for the Navy in the immediate postwar period prior to decommission, and subsequently operated as the merchant ship SS ''West Loquassuck'' into the 1930s. She was scrapped in Baltimore in 1936.
