Liberty ships were cargo vessels built by the United States during World War II to transport supplies, equipment, and troops to Allied forces around the world. Designed for rapid, low-cost production, more than 2,700 were constructed between 1941 and 1945. They were built faster than the enemy could sink them. Powered by a triple-expansion steam engine, they reached speeds of about 11 knots. Although intended as temporary wartime transports, many remained in service for decades. Simple and reliable, Liberty ships became a backbone of the Allied war effort.Chapters00:00 – 00:54 Intro 00:54 – 02:26 History 02:26 – 04:10 Specifications & Capabilities 04:10 – 06:49 Exterior Tour 06:49 – 07:59 Weapons & Defenses 07:59 – 11:18 Bridge Deck & Boat Deck 11:18 – 11:58 Upper Deck 11:58 – 14:50 Second Deck & Steering Gear 14:50 – 15:50 Tank Top 15:50 – 17:51 Boilers17:51 – 20:27 Engine20:27 – 22:02 Legacy & Conclusion
