The wife and I took a trip on the Mt. Vernon Victory in the 80's - one
of the last Onasis tankers in service at the time. A friend of mine
was the Captain.


As I remember, she was one of the old midship house tankers, built on gov'ment
specs. There were a number of them around, all of which had a good turn of
speed and some better than average accomodations, for US ships (which normally
have worse than average accomodations ..... kinda like living in an
institution).
