On September 27, 1941, the US Army transport Frederick Funston was launched at the Seattle-Tacoma Shipyard. In this photograph, the ship has slid down the ways and entered the water. The ship was named for the late Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston and was christened by his daughter Barbara Funston, of San Francisco. (T. Times 9/29/1941, pg. 1)
