US Army Coastal Freighters

(F, FS, AKL, AG*) Built During WWII

A total of 318 coastal freighters, known as F (for Freight) or FS (for Freight Supply) ships, were built for the US Army during WWII, by 25 small shipbuilders, notably Higgins Industries, in New Orleans LA, and Wheeler Shipbuilding, in Whitestone NY. Most were of steel but some were of wood. The early models were only about 100 feet long, but the bulk of the fleet was 180 feet. Many were operated by the Coast Guard and some were transferred to the Navy as AKLs. After the war many were transferred overseas, but large numbers are unaccounted for. Many in the Pacific Theater were probably abandoned: as with many other small ship types, it wasn't economical to bring them home. About 80 remained in the Philippines.


Can anyone identify the Pauline Marie?

Reefed off NJ 1985, not built by Higgins; likeliest candidates marked fate unknown below.
