SS Abigail Adams

History
She was laid down on 24 February 1943 and built by the Permanente Metals Corporation in Richmond Shipyards in Richmond, California. On 21 March 1943, just 25 days after being laid down, she was launched. She was delivered to the United States Maritime Commission and the War Shipping Administration on 1 April 1943 and operated by the American Foreign Steamship Corporation.

On 16 September 1949, Abigail Adams entered the reserve fleet but briefly re-entered service from 14 March 1951 until 15 May 1952 for service in the Korean War. After sitting in the reserve fleet for two decades, she was sold to Consolidated Steel Corporation on 10 July 1972 for $47,009.33, or $332,404.21 in today's money (as of September 2022). She was delivered to Beaumont, Texas on 19 September 1972 where she was subsequently scrapped.
