United States for its simple, low-cost construction.[4] Mass-produced on an unprecedented scale, the Liberty ship

The vessels were purchased both for the U.S. fleet and lend-lease deliveries of war materiel to Britain and the Soviet Union. Eighteen American shipyards built 2,710 Liberty ships between 1941 and 1945, easily the largest number of ships produced to a single design. Their production mirrored on a much larger scale the manufacture of the Hog Islander
