Title: USS APL-15
Description: Probably shown upon completion of construction at Nashville, Tennessee, in August 1944. This non-self propelled barracks ship and her many sisters consisted of the hull of a 260-foot ocean-going covered lighter (YF-604 type) carrying a two-story deckhouse with an awning on top. The sister built at Nashville immediately before this one, APL-14, fell victim to Typhoon Louise at Okinawa in October 1945. The large warehouse in the upper right is inscribed Hagland-Potter & Co., Wholesale Groceries. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
