About this book

Liberty's Provenance: The Evolution of the Liberty Ship from its Sunderland Origins by Henshaw, John. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781526750631.

The battle of the Atlantic fought by the Allies to maintain lines of communication and vital trade routes for armaments men and basic sustenance could not have been won without the 2710 Liberty ships that were designed and built for those critical one-way voyages to Europe—more than one voyage was considered a bonus. This book demonstrates the versatility of the Liberty ship and explores those that were developed for specialist use from hospital ships and mule transports to nuclear-age missile range ships.
