| Description | Lot-3452-8: Biography of a Liberty Ship. SS Patrick Henry sits impatiently at the fitting dock like a woman at her beauty shop who has a heavy date. Giant cranes wheel smoothly along the wide outer rail swinging the heavy superstructure parts to her decks while trains roll in on the narrower center rails to feed the crane and the lighter brings additional parts up to the dock. In a matter of three months, she will be ready to assume her part in the carrying of endless streams of war supplies to the fighting fronts of the united nations fighting for the preservation of democratic ideals against the Axis forces. 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). |
