Talk:SS Francisco Coronado

Shipyard
It seems from references I can accesss that Francisco Coronado was built by a different shipyard, and that the contract for this ship at Oregon Shipbuilding was cancelled. However, as this directly contradicts reference "Davies" (noted, though, that he acknowledges Mitchell & Sawyer as one of his sources), I am reluctant to make wholesale changes, but rather to present here what these sources show, for comment.


 * SS Francisco Coronado was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. The ship was named after Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján, a Spanish conquistador who explored the southwestern United States between 1540 and 1542. The ship was built at the Kaiser Shipbuilding Company's shipyard at Vancouver, Washington.


 * == Construction and service ==
 * SS Francisco Coronado was ordered by the United States Maritime Commission under contract number 394 from Kaiser Shipbuilding's Vancouver Shipyard as Yard number 42.    The ship was laid down on 18 November 1942. She was launched on 5 January 1943 and was completed on 20 January 1943.


 * The ship was sold for demolition to Patapsco Scrap Company on 9 March 1959, and broken up at Baltimore in March 1962.
