The Todd-Bath Iron Shipbuilding Co. was formed in South Portland,
Maine, in 1940, followed by the South Portland Shipbuilding Corp.
in 1942. This book details the formation of the two shipyards, and
the congressional investigation of South Portland's operation that
resulted in the merger of both companies into the New England
Shipbuilding Corporation in April, 1943. Included is a list of all
2,710 Liberty ships delivered by U.S. shipyards, giving each ship's
namesake and detailed descriptions of the companies that built the
ships and the steamship companies that operated them during the
war. Also featured is the Jeremiah O'Brien. Built by New England
Ship in 1943 and one of only two operational Liberty ships left in
the world, its service history and crew information are given along
with its, postwar restoration and return to Normandy in 1994.
