Melville
Jacoby was a was a Liberty ship laid down by Walsh-Kaiser
Company in Providence, and was launched in January 1944
for the US Maritime Commission. She was sold after Second
World War Two to Panama, where she changed names a couple
of times before she sailed as Dominator. Under a journey
from Vancouver to Los Angeles loaded with wheat and beef
she hit ground and was stuck at Palos Verdes after a
navigational error in heavy fog 13. March 1961. Her
exposed position slowly grinded her down, and salvage was
done on the abandoned wreck. The battered wreck debris
rest today partly visible on shore and down to a depth of
10 meter at Palos
Verdes Point. Also see the wreck of the former passenger
steamer
Avalon.
