From Liberty... ...to Freedom

It could well be argued that the \u2018Liberty Ship\u2019 did as much, if not more than, any weapon to win World War II. They were cheap to build and operate, and easy to maintain, features which made them attractive to a merchant navy adapting to peacetime requirements. \nWhen the time came for these iconic ships to be replaced, the world\u2019s shipbuilders and naval architects were in a fierce competition for a share of this lucrative market. \nThis long overdue, detailed and thoroughly researched book tells the story of one of the most successful \u2018Liberty Ship Replacement\u2019 designs, and the family of ships that followed.
