<i>SS Ohio</i> entering Malta
Photographer: Lt. H.E. Cook, U.K. War Office (public domain)
Taken: August 15, 1942
Caption: SS Ohio entering Malta's Grand Harbour
Additional Description: The American tanker, so badly damaged that two Royal Navy destroyers essentially pushed it into the harbor, delivered much-needed fuel for Allied warplanes and submarines defending Malta. It was the tanker's last voyage: It was sunk outside the harbor because the damage was beyond repair.
