USAT Brigadier General M. G. Zalinski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USAT Brigadier General M. G. Zalinski was a U.S. Army transport ship that served in both World War I and World War II. It sank in 1946 in the Grenville Channel in British Columbia's Inside Passage. The crew were rescued by a tug boat and the SS Catala passenger steamer, but the cargo of bombs and oil went down with the ship. As of June 2006, planning is underway by Canadian officials to deal with the wreck, located near the site of the M/V Queen of the North ferry which sank in February 2006.
The ship was built as Lake Frohna (Hull number 765) at the American Ship Building Company in Lorain, Ohio as a cargo vessel for the United States Shipping Board.[1]
