U.S. Army Coastal Freighters (F, FS) Built During WWII

Most recent update: April 1, 2021.
A total of 318 coastal freighters, known as F (for Freight) or FS (for Freight Supply) boats, were built for the U.S. Army during WWII, by 25 small shipbuilders, notably Higgins Industries, in New Orleans LA, and Wheeler SB, 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 - click here to read about them - 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.  If anyone knows of the whereabouts or final fate of an FS that's not already reported below, or has any other data to add to the table, please e-mail me at timcolton@aol.com.
