About SS Colby Victory
SS Colby Victory was the 84th Victory ship built during World War II under the Emergency Shipbuilding program. She was launched by the California Shipbuilding Company on January 27, 1945, and completed on March 12, 1945. The ship’s United States Maritime Commission designation was VC2- S- AP3, hull number V50, built in 83 days. SS Colby Victory served in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. The 10,500-ton Victory ships were designed to replace the earlier Liberty ships. Liberty ships were designed to be used just for World War II. Victory ships were designed to last longer and serve after the war. The Victory ship differed from Liberty ships in that they were faster, longer and wider, taller, a thinner stack set further toward the superstructure and had a long raised forecastle. In the fall of 1946, Colby Victory arrived in New York Harbor from Bremerhaven, Germany with troops.
