Construction
Joseph V. Connolly was laid down on 25 May 1945, under a Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 3143, by J.A. Jones Construction, Panama City, Florida; she was launched on 9 July 1945.[1][2]
History
She was allocated to South Atlantic Staemship Lines, Inc., on 8 August 1945.[4] On 12 January 1948, while transporting coffins from New York to Antwerp, she caught fire and was abandoned 900 mi (1,400 km) east of New York. She was later taken in tow, 24 January, but broke loose and sank, 29 January.[5]

gollark: Also, it probably wouldn't inherit whatever magic slot-splitting behavior you have now.
gollark: 1. I'm lazy (though yes, admittedly, you probably are)2. It'd be slower to manually find the slot(s) with free space.
gollark: How about a table of slots moved into?
gollark: Can it? Huh.
gollark: Specific use case: Wyvern internally uses a quick method to search its index for free space - `#items < inventories[name].size()` on each inventory - manually searching slots would be slow and kind of annoying, so currently the index for a chest is just entirely updated whenever an item is inserted, which is slow.
