Title: S.S. MANTARO (Peruvian Merchant Passenger Ship, 1911-1955)
Caption: The MANTARO, owned by the CIA. Peruana De Vapors is shown at San Francisco, California, about 1943. Built for S. American Coastal Trade. The commercial demands upon neutral shipping allowed her to wander far afield. Note that two life boats are swung out as a safety precaution against in advertent torpedoing. MANTARO was scrapped in 1955.
