I sailed on the last Victory ship to sail. The S.S Lane Victory. After returning fron Viet Nam in 1969 was made into a museum ship in San Pedro Cal. Still sailable and makes short runs every year, manned by volunteers. Also sailed Purdue and Pacfic Victory. Great ships. Very fast but cargo capacity was small.
