I am searching for any information or persons who served on the S.S. Abigail Adams before during and after the Battle of Leyte Gulf and during the Battle for Saipan. My father, Dan Wilbanks Jr., served on board the Abigail Adams and would like to hear any stories or information. Do any pictures exist of the S. S. Abigail Adams? He is in the VA Hospital and not doing well. This would really cheer him up.
Try this page from the excellent website, American Merchant Marine at War, for sources of photographs of World War II-era merchant ships: http://www.usmm.org/photosource.html.
Good luck.
