That's cool,
I'd love to go on one! Not a welded one if one exist! My Grandpa and
Aunt both built Liberty ships in Brunswick , GA during the war. He was
alittle to old to go fight, and I guess the US did not want my Aunt to whip
the enemy single handed...she was a fiesty lass! HAHA

I went on the Jerimah O'Brien (a Liberty ship) a few weeks ago in San
Fransisco. I thought it was a static museum ship until I went on board
and discovered they still sail it. The engine room was very impressive.
