About SS Black Osprey
SS Black Osprey was a Design 1013 cargo steamship that was built in the First World War for the United States Shipping Board (USSB). She was laid down in 1917 as Jas. G. Eddy, but launched in 1918 as West Arrow. By 1926, American Diamond Lines was operating her on its transatlantic cargo service to Belgium. American Diamond Lines bought her in 1931, and renamed her Black Osprey in 1935. In 1940 the United Kingdom Ministry of Shipping bought her. In 1941, a German U-boat sank her by torpedo. West Arrow was one of the "West" boats; a series of cargo steamships built on the West Coast of the United States for the Emergency Fleet Corporation. The United States Navy inspected her for possible use as a naval cargo ship. She was assigned the Naval Registry Identification Number ID-2585, but was never requisitioned or commissioned.
