Hi Stephen,
El Lago was actually owned by the U.S. War Shipping Administration but operated by U.S. Lines although she sailed under the Panamanian flag. The account in the book below came from the statements of the captain and the engineer after their repatriation to the U.S. in 1945 so there are probably records on the sinking at the U.S. National Archives too.
Source: Moore, Captain Arthur R. A Careless Word… a Needless Sinking. Kings Point, NY: The American Merchant Marine Museum at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point NY, 1988. Copyright: Captain Arthur R. Moore, 1983.
You got mail.
Regards,
Ken Dunn
