| Description |
Brunswick, 1943. U.S.S. Samalness at the outfitting dock where deck guns were brought aboard. The ship had been built and launched from a shipyard in Brunswick. Mrs. Forrest Prather, the wife of the superintendent of the yard, had christened her. Brunswick shipyards were quite productive during the World War II period when Liberty ships were built. They were large capacity cargo vessels built using standardized parts and prefabricated pieces in order to meet the emergency wartime needs. |
