Standard ship types of the US From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Design 1065 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1065) was a wooden-hulled cargo ship design approved for production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I.[2] A total of 7 ships were ordered and completed for the USSB from 1918 to 1919.[2] The ships were constructed at the Bellingham, Washington shipyard of Pacific American Fisheries.[1] The USSB originally wanted Pacific American Fisheries to follow its standard "Ferris-type" design (Design 1001) used by other shipyards but PAF was successful in convincing them to use their own design which they felt was more seaworthy.[3] The cost was $50,000 per ship.[3]
