Workhorse of the Fleet, A history of the design and experiences of the Liberty Ships built by American Shipbuilders during WWII, First Revised Edition


Year: 2008
Language: english
Author: Gus Bourneuf Jr
Publisher: ABS
Format: PDF
Quality: eBook
Pages count: 136
Description: Originally called “Ugly Ducklings,” the Liberty ships when built, were expected to last one trip and
to have no economical life after the war. However, as the record shows, the Liberty ships labored
long and hard during the war and dominated the ocean highways of the world for over ten years
after the war.
This history is mainly from the point-of-view of the US Maritime Commission with most of the
information coming from informal notes kept by several members of the design division of the US
Maritime Commission during and just after the war. The existence of the notes was mentioned in
Lane’s “Ships for Victory.” These notes and other documents were transferred to the National Archives
in Washington, DC after the war and initially proved very difficult to locate. However, with the
assistance of an archives employee who had worked for the Maritime Commission during and just
after the war I was able to find most of the available records.
