Hog Islanders
Hog Islanders were so named because they were built at the Hog Island emergency shipyard in Philadelphia during World War I. Hog Island had 50 shipways and was the first shipyard ever built for mass production of ships. It launched its first ship, the SS Quistonck on August 5, 1918, and the last of 122 ships on January 29, 1921. Twelve of the ships were built as troop transports. None of the ships were ready in time to take part in that war, but 58 Hog Islanders were casualties in WW II.
Additional names used for the ships are given in square brackets [ ].
Standard Hog Islanders measured 380 feet long, with a 54 foot beam, 24 foot draft and 2,500 horsepower steam turbines. Some were 58 feet longer and produced 6,000 hp.
