The S.S. Richard Lewis Humphrey was built by McCloskey and Company in Tampa, Florida in March of 1944. During her first voyage, she transported coffee to the West Coast and was hit with strong winds resulting in fine cracks in her deck. In 1945, she was sold to the Mexican government for scrap.

Location
