119k | SS Yamhill (ID#3806) at her builders yard, 25 November 1918. She looks complete but was not delivered until 7 February 1919.
The mast near the smokestack was a wartime replacement for the topmasts on the two principal masts and, like the pattern camouflage, was intended to make it more
difficult for attacking submarines to get fire control solutions.
