Caption: Merchant Ships: Liberty. Biography of a Liberty Ship. In two months after her keel was laid this “Liberty Ship” hull is being cleaned up for her launching ceremony on the morrow. She has been built, from the keel up, of prefabricated sections with a minimum of riveting from prefabricated sections where were built in a specially designed plant. Much time is saved in this method of construction since fitting and fabricating are not done in the somewhat cramped space of the ways. U.S. Office of Emergency Management Photograph.
