The Design 1019 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1019) was a steel-hulled cargo ship design approved for mass production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I.[1]
They were referred to as the "Ferris-type".[1] Production was spread out over four shipyards: Atlantic Corporation of Portsmouth, New Hampshire (10 ships); Long Beach Shipbuilding Company of Long Beach, California (8 ships); Southwestern Shipbuilding of San Pedro, California (19 ships); and Western Pipe and Steel Company of San Francisco, California (18 ships).[1][2][3][4][5] 54 ships were completed for the USSB in late 1919 through 1920.[1] An additional ship was completed in 1920 for a private shipping company.[1] Engines were a mixture of steam turbines, coal-fueled triple expansion engines, and oil fueled triple expansion engines.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
