SS American Victory

SS American Victory (Tampa)


SS American Victory is a Second World War Victory ship which has been preserved as a museum ship in Tampa, Florida.

Named after American University in Washington, D.C., she was built at the California Shipbuilding (Calship) Yard in Los Angeles, California and was delivered on 20 June 1945. She carried cargo in the Pacific until the end of the war, when she collected military equipment from Calcutta and Port Said for return to the United States. From June 1946 until November 1947 she was chartered by American Export Lines, carrying foodstuffs and machinery exported from the United States to Europe under the Marshall Plan. She was then laid up in the Hudson River Reserve Fleet until she was again chartered by commercial shipping lines from 1951 until January 1954 when she entered the Sabine River Reserve Fleet in Texas.

In 2002, the SS American Victory was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The SS American Victory is a very intersting place to visit; the ship is almost fully restored and takes periodic day cruises on Tampa Bay.

The ship has a website, www.americanvictory.org
