I entered USS West Point as a search and came up with the following site with some really comprehensive information on all types of Naval ships, troop transports and a great history of the West Point during the war. Unfortunately, when it came to its voyages from Boston to England it only noted that there were five and lacked dates. _http://www.historycentral.com/Navy/ap/West%20Point%20II.html_ (http://www.historycentral.com/Navy/ap/West%20Point%20II.html) The site also had a contact person and email address so I sent a note asking if there was any other information about those voyages. This site has photos of various troop transports and I found several photos of the USS West Point + pre and post war pics as the "America." _http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/22023.htm_ (http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/22023.htm) At last! Following quote is from _http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/australis/history.html_ (http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/australis/history.html) "The "America" was the largest merchant ship built at this time-"The Queen of the luxury liners"-in just 11 days she was stripped of her finery and converted into the U.S. Navy's largest troop carrier." "On her Boston-Liverpool crossing of August 9-14, 1944, with part of the 95th Division she had 9,305 people aboard, the most carried on a single U.S. vessel during the war." If only I could find a list of those aboard for that date! Adrienne
