The SS St. Paul was transferred to the Navy account
in April 1918; designated ID-1643; and overhauled at New York. Then, while
being towed to her berth from dry dock on 28 April, she capsized in the
North River. Righted on 11 September, she was subsequently turned over
to the Commandant, 3rd Naval District, on 17 October. St. Paul entered
the New York Navy Yard the following day, but the war's end led to cancellation
of plans to use the ship for carrying troops. Placed in temporary commission
on 14 January 1919 for the purpose of fixing responsibility for her care
outside of the Navy Yard, St. Paul soon began reconversion for mercantile
service. |
