Fate Date?

[edit]

Navsource says

  • Returned to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) in January 1974 for disposal
  • Final Disposition, sold for scrapping, 23 January 1973, to Union Minerals & Alloys Corp.

, but the dates for these events seem in the wrong order. Maybe one of the years is a typo? A Mass Maritime page says "Bay State II, 1957-1973."

@Wwoods: I have access to the actual Vessel Status Card, a primary source that might clear up the confusion. Of note is that the card mentions the change of name to Bay State, but not Bay State II. Regarding your question, it was sold on 23 January 1973, but physically delivered to them 12 February 1974.User The Dude (talk) 21:39, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
