THE AUXILIARY CRUISER ST. PAUL, WHICH CAPT. SIGSBEE WILL COMMAND.
Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee is to have command of another war boat The gallant skipper of the Maine has been a sort of a lost sea-dog since his stanch ship was blown into flinders on February 15. There never was any doubt that he would be given another ship pretty soon, but now the navy department has decided to place him in charge of the St. Paul, of the American line, when it has been converted into a cruiser. Its length over all is 554 feet and between perpendiculars 535 feet; its extreme breadth. 64 feet; its depth, 42 feet, and displacement at a 26-feet draft 16.000 tons. |

The SS St. Paul was transferred to the Navy account
in April 1918; designated ID-1643; and overhauled at New York. Then, while
being towed to her berth from dry dock on 28 April, she capsized in the
North River. Righted on 11 September, she was subsequently turned over
to the Commandant, 3rd Naval District, on 17 October. St. Paul entered
the New York Navy Yard the following day, but the war's end led to cancellation
of plans to use the ship for carrying troops. Placed in temporary commission
on 14 January 1919 for the purpose of fixing responsibility for her care
outside of the Navy Yard, St. Paul soon began reconversion for mercantile
service. |

U. S. Liner, Strangely Capsized, to Be Raised and Put Back into Service
The American liner St Paul sunk at her pier.
The work of raising the American liner, St Paul, which strangely capsized at her pier a few days ago, is well under way. Besides the loss of the vessel for weeks there will be the loss of the dock where she lies which renders idle the sides of two piers which feed vessels into it. The St Paul was launched in 1895, and since America's entrance into the war has been engaged in carrying troops and supplies to Europe. |
