<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4338610, member: 6444"]There is confusion about the name, ss fort meigs is different than ss meigs. There was a freighter (to carry freight, not a warship) built in 1943 called the ss fort meigs <a href="http://www.t2tanker.org/ships/kaiser.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.t2tanker.org/ships/kaiser.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.t2tanker.org/ships/kaiser.html</a></p><p>Have no idea what that piece is, but probably name plate on ship or some other piece on ship with name and date, and taken off years later when the ship was broken up for scrap. Owner may have been on the freighter during the war, so kept as a momento, or maybe just there when it was broken up and kept as a personal record.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
