[1] Gunston Hall was launched on February 27, 1919 and was christened by the wife of Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation general manager and vice president Benjamin W.

[3] Gunston Hall remained there until July 30, 1920, until she was towed across the Atlantic Ocean to Funchal and finally to Dunkirk, six months after leaving Buenos Aires.

[3] By July 1921, Gunston Hall was laid up with 30 other Shipping Board steamers in the James River near Norfolk, Virginia.

[8] The site of the former Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard is now in Jones Point Park and is crossed by the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

One of the few visible remnants of the shipyard is the fitting-out dock, next to which is a grass lawn bound by a concrete retaining wall representing the length and width of Gunston Hall's hull.
