USS
Riverside was built for US Navy as an attack-tranport ship
and launched in April 1944. She was put in service in the
Pacific with transport of military personel. After the war
she did several tours with transport of soldiers back to
USA, and was stricken from the navy lists in May 1946. Two
years later she was sold to Argentina and renamed P&T
Forrester. In the coming years she changed name and owners
several times before she grounded and was wrecked in Smyth
Channel 31.March 1968. The wreck still lies partly
submerged, with the stern sticking up above the surface on
the southwest side of Isla Isabel.
