A little about the M/V SEASPEED AMERICA...

This print captures the M/V SEASPEED AMERICA, the last of a trio of large RO/ROs built for Seaspeed Service Inc. in 1977. The ships were originally developed for service in Middle-East and Mediterranean shipping routes and were the largest RO/ROs afloat at the time of their delivery. A novel feature was the Automatic Load Balance (ALB) system which allowed the propulsion engines to distribute their power between the propeller and front-end-driven alternators.

The SEASPEED AMERICA changed ownership order a number of times before being purchased by the U.S. Maritime Administration in 1993. After being given a new stern ramp and spar deck she emerged as the CAPE RACE and remains, to this day, a part of the Ready Reserve Fleet.
