The SS Fort St. Louis was a cargo ship built during World War II, specifically designed for the United States Maritime Commission. Launched in 1944, it was part of the Fort class of ships, which were used to transport troops and supplies across the Atlantic Ocean. After the war, the SS Fort St. Louis was repurposed for commercial use, serving various shipping routes. It was eventually sold to private interests and underwent several name changes before being scrapped in the late 20th century, marking the end of its operational life.
