Thirty eight of her sisters  were sunk or damaged by enemy action.Today there are only two Liberty  ships left thanks toProject Liberty  Ship one the John W.Brown at her dock in Baltimore  another on the West coast.All others who them and their crews served this nation at a time of war are gone.Congratulations  to the Brown the men and women who have served on her.
