EFC Design 1101: Notes & Illustrations

"General Arrangement and Type Section Plans, 7,500-ton D. W. Concrete Cargo Vessel, Designed by F. B. Webster." From Shipbuilding Cyclopedia, edited by Webster and others, New York, 1920. It is not identified as Design 1101 but almost certainly is. Note the cargo holds and hatches. A plan of the tanker variant, Design 1100 (q.v.), is also in this book.

Notes: The concrete ship program as of June 1918 included five Design 1101 cargo ships, possibly one following the tankers in each of the five large orders placed in April and May 1918. Following the post-armistice cutbacks in November 1918 only two yards retained orders for Design 1101 cargo ships, San Francisco having Wallemar (EFC Hull 1664) and Ley having Whatley (EFC Hull 1717). These two were reclassified from tankers circa December 1918. However they were cancelled on 15 October 1919, leaving no Design 1101 ships completed. The incomplete Whatley was sold with the Mobile yard in 1922.
