USS Munwood

USS Munwood (ID-4460) was a cargo steamship that was built in Scotland in 1914 and was part of the United States Merchant Marine until 1928.

Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company built Munwood at Greenock on the Firth of Clyde as yard number 457.

[3] She had a single screw, driven by a three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine that was rated at 320 NHP[2] and gave her a speed of 11+1⁄2 knots (21.3 km/h).

On arrival at Bermuda, gasoline was found to be leaking from some of the drums in Munwood's cargo, spreading fumes throughout the ship.

She continued to Baltimore, where the Navy decommissioned her on 3 March and returned her via the United States Shipping Board to her owners.

[3] In 1928 Brodarsko Akcionarsco Drustvo "Oceania" bought Munwood, renamed her Vila and registered her in Susak in Dalmatia.

[8] On 20 February 1935 Vila was en route from Trieste to Venice, carrying a cargo of phosphates and wheat, when she was involved in a collision at the mouth of the Piave with the Italian motor ship Rodi.
