SS President Wilson was an American passenger ship originally ordered by the Maritime Commission (MC hull 687) during World War II, as one of the Admiral W. S. Benson-class Type P2-SE2-R1 transport ships, and intended to be named USS Admiral F.B. Upham (AP-128). The ship was laid down on 27 November 1944 at the Bethlehem Steel shipyard in Alameda, California, but was cancelled on 16 December 1944.[2] The ship was finally launched on 24 November 1947,[3] completed and delivered to the Maritime Commission on 27 April 1948.[2] Under the name SS President Wilson, she was bareboat chartered by the Maritime Commission to American President Lines.[4] She was sold to Oceanic Cruise Development, Inc. (C.Y. Tung Group) on 27 April 1973, and renamed Oriental Empress. Laid up at Hong Kong, the ship was eventually scrapped at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 1984.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://www.apl.com/history/timeline/stat7.htm |title=APL: History - 1944-52 SS President Wilson |work=apl.com |year=2012 |accessdate=19 October 2012}} 2. ^1 {{Cite DANFS |title=Admiral F.
