Other Jacona (1889), sunk by mine 12 August 1915

[edit]

The 1918 title date was added with the comment that there was another notable ship of the same name. Lloyd's Register 1913 has details. That ship struck a mine and sank 12 August 1915 and is listed in List of shipwrecks for 12 August 1915. Palmeira (talk) 14:32, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Completion to lay-up probable

[edit]

Many of the ships completed just before or after the Armistace in 1919 went almost directly into lay-up — or as with the wooden ships directly into layup before being burnt such as those at Mallows Bay. Though the ship remained in registry as a USSB owned hull there is so far (Nov. 2021) no sign of any significant commercial service. There is now a definite mention of the ship being laid up in the James River when selected for conversion in 1930. As a technical note, after that conversion the vessel was not a "ship" but a "barge" with no motive power. Palmeira (talk) 13:24, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possible 1920 use as food relief ship is found as a footnote in The American Jewish Year Book covering events from September 25, 1919 to September September 12, 1920: "As we go to press we learn that a cargo of food and clothing valued at $200,000 is on its way to Roumania per S.S. Jacona, and that the S.S. Ashbum is carrying a cargo of meat, valued at $250,000, to Poland." Palmeira (talk) 15:02, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead/infobox

[edit]







  • One additional note for the lead: in order to make the lead agree with the body of the article, clarify that she was sold to buyers in the Philippines, rather than just saying "she was sold to the Philippines", which could imply she was sold to the government or some depiction of the country itself as an entity.

  • "the loss of electricity that was generated by the first generator." → I would find a word to replace "generated" to cut down on repetition.
