Hawaiian Pilot
C-3 Freighter 1944
The construction of the C-3 cargo vessels began during World War II, after the
famous "Liberty" and "Victory" ships. This standardized type
of ship overtook all other ships as it was more modern and longer and could also
reach a higher speed. After the Second World War these ships were converted into
ordinary freighters and sold to various shipping companies.
The Hawaiian Pilot
was built in 1944 and first went into service as the USS Burleigh. After the war
ended it was acquired and refitted by the Matson Navigation Company and mainly
travelled the Los Angeles, San Francisco and Hawaii routes. The cargo consisted
of normal consumer goods of all kinds and agrarian products primarily bound for
the West Coast of the USA. The vessel had a cruising speed of 16.5 knots and a
total cargo capacity of 12,500 tonnes.
