Biographical / historical:

The cargo ship OHIOAN was built by Maryland Steel Company at Sparrows Point, Maryland, in 1914. She was operated by the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company.

During World War I, the United States Navy acquired her for service (1918-1919). She went aground at Point Lobos, San Francisco, California on October 7, 1936. Attempts to refloat her were unsuccessful. In March 1937, OHIOAN caught fire. Less than a year later, a storm broke the vessel into two.
