Abstract
Although John Edward Masefield wrote his poem ‘Ships’
back in 1917, these verses are the best homage to the Liberty
ships built a quarter of a century later, describing their very
special place in history, not only in the chronicles of shipbuilding
and shipping but in the history of mankind. Today it’s not
easy to describe the enormous effort and achievement it took to
build 18 new shipyards on the fields and marshes across America
and then construct 2711 ocean-going steamers. Believe it or not,
this gigantic fleet was built in only four years, between December
1941 and October 1945!
