FateAfloat. Sold in 1946. Scrapped in 1971.

Laid down, displacement, length, beam, draft, speed, and complement are not stored for each hull, so this table leaves them out.

Robin Wentley was a C2-S freighter of the Seas Shipping Company, the Robin Line. Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point built her as Maritime Commission hull 101 (yard hull 4352) and delivered her on 3 November 1941. The War Shipping Administration chartered her.

She sailed in the Northern Garrison Group, Task Group 51.6, and was at Kwajalein and Majuro from 5 to 8 February 1944. She was not sunk. She was sold in 1946 and scrapped in 1971. This account rests on the Marshalls order of battle and the Maritime Commission build lists used on this site. No separate history of this ship was found, so nothing beyond those records is claimed here.
