 Thank you for posting your question on History Hub! 
 We searched our holdings and were able to locate the deck logs of the USNS General Harry Taylor (T-AP-145), which was the ship&rsquo;s designation from 1950 to 1957. These records were found in Record Group 313: Records of Naval Operating Forces, Entry P 108, Series: Military Sea Transportation Service/Military Sealift Command Deck Logs, 1949-1981 . In examining her log entries from August 1951, we were able to determine that she left Columbus Quay, Bremerhaven for New Orleans, LA on August 21, 1951.
