Summary
| Description | Lot-3452-6: Biography of a Liberty Ship. Less than five months from keel-laying to launching ceremony was the record set by SS Patrick Henry. This time is being reduced to sixty days in the construction of her sister ships of the Liberty Ship design. This standard design was selected by the Maritime Commission to meet the need for a ship that can be built in existing yards in minimum time with the additional purpose of conserving materials vitally needed for the war production effort. Prefabrication of sections in special plants, replacing of riveting wherever possible by welding and other new departures all contribute to the speed of construction and saving of material and dead weight in these ships which are already proving their worth in the War on the Axis. On 27 September 1941, SS Patrick Henry, the first U.S. Liberty ship, was launched at Baltimore, Maryland. Numerous other vessels were launched on that day, known as "Liberty Fleet Day." Surviving World War II, Patrick Henry was scrapped in 1960. U.S. Office of Emergency Management Photograph. Courtesy of the Library of Congress. (2015/05/06). |
