In Memory

he legacy of the people who served on the ships of the merchant fleet during World War II is fast fading. In an attempt to preserve some of this history, these pages contain memorials to the men and women who built the great Liberty fleet and to the merchant seamen and Naval Armed Guard who sailed the ships across the oceans of the world.
