NICE! My Grandmother emigrated to the USA in November, 1953 on her sister ship the MSTS Army transport SS WASHINGTON as a war bride on her 2nd to last voyage! So sad that the fantastic sister ships were not put back into passenger service after WW2. Less than 10 years of true commercial service.
The Manhattan and Washington was ahead of their time
