has abstract
  • SS John Cadwalader was a coastal passenger and cargo steamer launched in March 1926 by Pusey & Jones Corporation, Wilmington, Delaware for the Baltimore-Philadelphia Steamship Company for operation on overnight service between Baltimore and Philadelphia. The intended route used the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal for an inland passage using Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Bay and the Delaware River. In 1935 the company's financial difficulty resulted in sale of the vessel to Ericsson Line, Inc., by the bank that foreclosed a mortgage on the ship. Ericsson operated the ship for about a year before converting operations to freight only. The ship was designed specifically for passenger and freight operations in inland waters and was limited in being adapted for other nautical purposes. Increasing truck transportation on the route had an effect on vessels in the trade. In November 1941 John Cadwalader was laid up in Philadelphia. In July 1942, the War Shipping Administration (WSA) requisitioned the ship and immediately transferred it to the British Ministry of War Transport (BMWT) under Lend-Lease. The ship was loading for its initial Atlantic crossing in a convoy to be composed of antiquated river and coastal vessels, possibly intended for use as accommodation and hospital vessels, when it burned at the pier in Philadelphia on the morning of 29 August 1942. The hulk was salvaged by the Philadelphia Derrick and Salvage Corporation and eventually sold in February 1944. (en)
