The Design 1001 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1001) was a wood-hulled cargo ship design approved for production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I.[2] They were referred to as the "Ferris"-type after its designer, naval architect Theodore E. Ferris.[2] Most ships were completed in 1918 or 1919.[3][2][4] Many ships were completed as barges or as hulls.[5]
