About the SS President Cleveland:SS President Cleveland was an American steam passenger ship that operated from 1947 to 1973. She became the Panamanian-flag passenger ship SS Oriental President in 1973 before being scrapped in 1974. She operated on routes in the Pacific Ocean. President Cleveland originally ordered by the Maritime Commission during World War II, as one of the Admiral-class Type P2-SE2-R1 transport ships, and intended to be serve in the United States Navy with the name USS Admiral D. W. Taylor (AP-128). The ship was laid down on 28 August 1944 at the Bethlehem Steel shipyard in Alameda, California, but was cancelled on 16 December 1944. Redesigned for commercial passenger service, the ship was launched on 23 June 1946 with the name SS President Cleveland, and she was completed in 1947. President Cleveland was operated by American President Lines under a bareboat charter. She appeared in the background during an Embarcadero waterfront scene in San Francisco, California, in the 1950 film Woman on the Run, featuring Ann Sheridan, at 46 minutes and 40 seconds into the film. On 22 or 23 July 1958 (sources disagree), President Cleveland was in the Pacific Ocean about 800 nautical miles (1,500 km; 920 mi) from California during a voyage from Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, to San Francisco when U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Lynne C. Quiggle, a passenger on board, disappeared. He was presumed to have jumped or fallen overboard. President Cleveland appeared in the 1961 film Susan Slade, featuring Connie Stevens, Troy Donahue, Dorothy Maguire, and Lloyd Nolan, and was featured in a 1962 Britannica Films production called The Seaport, filmed in San Francisco. President Cleveland was sold to Oceanic Cruise Development, Inc. (C.Y. Tung Group) on 9 February 1973, re-registered in Panama, and renamed Oriental President. She was scrapped at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 1974. Copyright © 2018-2021 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
