Notes: Up to 1915 the Moore & Scott Iron Works was a repair yard in Oakland, Calif., with one slipway capable of carrying a vessel of 2000 tons. In that year it began expanding in response to orders from Europe and from American operators. One American order received in 1916 from the Pan-American Petroleum & Trading Co. was for a single tanker, Frederick R. Kellogg (Yard no. 111), with specifications almost exactly matching those of the later EFC Design 1041 for which it probably became the model. In 1917 Moore bought out Scott and changed the yard's name to Moore Shipbuilding. On 20 July 1917 the yard received an order for 10 freighters to a design that it had already been using for foreign orders (EFC Design 1015, EFC Hulls 143-152), and on 31 December 1917 Moore received orders for 10 more of these cargo ships (EFC Hulls 1015-1024) and the first six Design 1041 tankers (EFC Hulls 1025-1030). For each of these orders Moore expanded its yard and added building ways, resulting in ten slips by November 1918 (3 in a central yard, 4 in an east yard, and 3 in a west yard). The last three ways added were to be 600' in length and able to accommodate "transports" (the yard probably intended to compete for Design 1029 ships) and then oil tankers. These ways were approaching completion in June 1918. A further tanker order for 6 ships (EFC Hulls 2227-2232 accompanied by ten cargo ships (EFC Hulls 2233-2242) was awarded to Moore on 5 July 1918. The last three of these tankers were cancelled and reordered as EFC hulls 2862-2864 on 2 December 1919. Moore continued to build tankers to the same design after the war, producing its yard nos. 160-62, 164, and 166 (S.C.T. Dodd, M.F. Elliott, Thomas H. Wheeler, Gargoyle, and Birkenhead). The yard was later renamed Moore Dry Dock after it again had became primarily a repair yard. Specifications: Design 1041 (S.S. Imlay, EFC Hull 1025): Steel Tanker. Deadweight tons: 10000 designed, 9971 actual. Dimensions: 425' length pp x 57' beam mld. x 33' depth mld., 25.7' draft loaded. Propulsion: 1 screw, 1 Westinghouse turbine, 3 Scotch boilers, 3000 SHP, 11 kts. |

Salina was renamed Garnet Hulings in 1928 and was owned from 1930 to 1947 by the Continental Steamship Co. of Wilmington, Del. The funnel marking appears to say CONOCO.
