Class notes: on 4 Apr 42 the Auxiliary Vessels Board recommended acquiring five steam lumber schooners for Pacific advanced-base duty as AG 42-46; ANNA SCHAFER was initially selected as AG-42 but quickly replaced by OLIVER OLSON (ANNA SCHAFER later became AG-46); AG-42 had been operated by contractors working on Pacific naval air bases for the Bureau of Yards and Docks when Com14 took operational control 7 Feb 42 for two voyages to Johnston and Palmyra islands; converted at Pearl Harbor 13-25 May 42 after a short trip to Maui; served the rest of the war as an interisland cargo ship in the South Pacific. Ship note: 'Ex merc. OLIVER OLSON, originally POINT BONITA (ID-3496, completed 24 Jun 18). Converted at Pearl Harbor 13 to 25 May 42. Returned to owner by MC under General Agency Agreement 10 Dec 45 and fully redelivered 14 Jan 46. OLIVER OLSON 1946. Stranded and CTL 3 Nov 53, Scrapped 1954.'

Captions document: 2,675 gross ton (4,075 tons displacement) freighter built at Portland, completed June 1918; Navy commission 7 Oct 1918 - 7 Apr 1919; merchant names San Pedro (renamed 1923) and Oliver Olson (1937); Camanga in commission 25 Apr 1942, cargo carrier in the South Pacific for three and a half years, decommissioned Dec 1945; resumed commercial service 1946 as Oliver Olson; 'ran aground off Bandon, Oregon, in November 1953 and was scrapped at Napa, California, in 1954.'

- Contemporaneous local reporting reconstructs the loss: the SS Oliver Olson (built 1918 by Albina Engine & Machine Works, Portland; described as a 307-ft steam lumber schooner), inbound to load lumber at the Moore Mill dock, ran hard aground on the submerged section of the Coquille River south jetty at Bandon at 8:40 a.m. Tuesday, 3 Nov 1953, caught in a cross-current; jagged holes in her bottom; the Port of Bandon tug and USCG cutter Bonham could not pull her free; 26 of 29 crew removed by breeches buoy the next day; declared a total loss and sold for salvage; the wreck was cut to the waterline and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers filled the hull with rock as a badly needed extension of the south jetty (~450 ft per local history accounts); remains visible at low tide.

- Finding
- Era/design inference: this hull carried a saturated-steam reciprocating plant (two Scotch boilers at 180 psi feeding one Ellincott vertical triple-expansion engine, single screw) built in 1917-18 and operated through the 1953 loss - a machinery configuration for which boiler and fireroom insulation, steam-line lagging, valve and flange gaskets, machinery packing, and accommodation joiner insulation of the period were commonly asbestos-containing. Documented disturbance-phase events for this hull: interwar lumber-schooner conversion (four tall masts, shortened shelter deck - yard undocumented); Pearl Harbor conversion 13-25 May 1942; San Francisco overhaul 30 Mar-6 Jun 1943 (Mare Island Navy Yard photographs of the ship dated 30 May 1943 fall inside that window); Auckland overhaul Nov 1944-Jan 1945; and the 1953-54 casualty salvage/cut-down at Bandon.

- Limitations
- Inference from the documented machinery plant and service era - NOT a hull record. No survey, specification, contract, or material schedule naming AG-42 / ID-3496 / Official No. 216512 was located; establishes no asbestos content, quantity, location, individual exposure, or causation. The 1918 construction date predates the WWII-era industrial-hygiene sources cited elsewhere in this record; early-20th-century marine insulation practice is the applicable inference frame and is less fully documented here.
