Title: Moccasin
Description: (U.S. Freighter, 1903) Probably photographed soon after she was taken over by the U.S. Shipping Board in 1917. Formerly the German merchant ship Prinz Joachim, she still wears that name on her bow. This ship was chartered by the U.S. Army in late 1917, acquired by the Navy on 19 February 1918 and placed in commission on 26 February 1918 as USS Moccasin (ID # 1322). She was returned to the Shipping Board on 2 June 1919 and later became the SS Porto Rico. The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
