Last Liberty ship JEREMIAH O'BRIEN

Last Liberty ship JEREMIAH O'BRIEN

San Franciscio Sept 13-08
Built in just 57 days at the New England Shipbuilding Corporation in South Portland, Maine, and launched on June 19, 1943, this class EC2-S-CI ship not only made four perilous round trip wartime crossings of the Atlantic and served on D-Day, the vessel later saw sixteen months of service in both the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean calling at ports in Chile, Peru, New Guinea, the Philippines, India, China, and Australia.

I can see a couple of SN members on deck!

BTW, does anyone in the San Francisco area have any news on the Cape Henry, (ex Barber Priam)? Any news would be much appreciated.

Thanks for posting this interesting and new picture of JEREMIAH O'BRIEN.
Presently there are two liberty ships operating as museum ships in America. JEREMIAH O'BRIEN in San Francisco and JOHN W. BROWN in Baltimore - a third liberty ship, the ARTHUR M. HUDDLE was earlier this year taken out of the James River Reserve Fleet site at Fort Eustis, Virginia where she had been moored for years after having served as a cable layer.
For the time being the ARTHUR M. HUDDLE is at a marine facility in Norfolk, Virgina ( the W3 Shipyard ) to be prepared for a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean and her new future as a museum ship in Greece.
Regards
Jesper
