Great!,
thanks for the pics link! I enjoyed going to the O'Brien website and
reading about it. If I ever go to San Fran I would go see her before doing
anything else!

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.
