The SS Daniel Carroll....a hard charger....and she carried the name well...because she was named after a hard charger of a man that actually represented Maryland as a senator in the First Congress.
Oh yes she got banged up a tad...but she was patched up....and sent on her way. Built in 1942....she didn't go to the bone yard until 1960.
Here is her link to her history
Hope you enjoy
I just learned that my grandfather Rufus E. Prendergast sailed aboard the Daniel Carroll in 1944. Thanks for this information!
