The Marine Shark

On page 262:

"August 15, 1947, I boarded the boat Marine Shark, and after thirteen days, with apprehension I held the welcoming Statue of Liberty. Since we arrived in late afternoon, we had to stay in the boat overnight."

I have been trying to find a pic of the ship, but the best I can do is to find one of it's sister ships. Which isnt 100% accurate.

The configurations are slightly different for each ship, but this will give you an idea of the vessel. It was a C4 Cargo Ship and the design designation is a C4-S-A3 and it was built by the Kaiser Corp in 1945.
