  • Liberty Ships and Victory Ships, America's Lifeline in War
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Liberty Ships and Victory Ships, America's Lifeline in War Liberty Ships and Victory Ships, America's Lifeline in War (Courtesy U.S. Maritime Administration) The officers and men of the Merchant Marine, by their devotion to duty in the face of enemy action, as well as natural dangers of the sea, have brought us the tools to finish the job. Their contribution to final victory will be long remembered. --General Dwight D. Eisenhower on National Maritime Day, 1945¹ In the nearly 20 years following the end of the World War I, America's merchant fleet, including its cargo and passenger ships, was becoming obsolete and declining in numbers. A shipbuilding program began with the passage of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. However, World War II provided the impetus to intensify those efforts eventually leading to a ship- building program that produced 5,500 vessels. Among them were 2,710 mass-produced ships known as Liberty ships. While reviewing blueprints of the Liberty ships at the White House, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who loved naval vessels and had an eye for design, mused aloud to Maritime Commission administrator Admiral Emory S. Land, "I think this ship will do us very well. She'll carry a good load. She isn't much to look at, though, is she? .A real ugly duckling."² Thus, the Liberty ships received their second nickname, "the ugly ducklings." 1 National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Liberty Ships and Victory Ships, America's Lifeline in War When the United States entered World War II at the end of 1941, it had the beginnings of a great merchant fleet.

The progression of research defined the themes of wartime production and wartime service. The greater Savannah community was greatly involved in wartime production through the conversion of the Port of Savannah into a military cargo port for Lend-lease goods and the development of wartime industries manufacturing paper, asphalt, naval ships, and much more. Wartime service along the waterfront included citizen soldiers and sailors volunteering in civilian and military organizations, including the Savannah-Chatham County Defense Council and the United States Coast Guard Temporary Reserve’s Volunteer Port Security Force.

I can still remember the start of World War II as an 8- SN 809-68-04 year old on December 7, 1941, and the conditions Served on the home front during the war years. My 4 May 1943 to 10 January 1946 spouse (Carl’s sister, Tina) sometimes refers to me as a History Channel “junkie” or World War II buff. I also served in the US Navy for about four years in the early 1950s. As a result, Carl’s stories peaked my interest and provided the incentive to look into his military experiences in more detail. I was very interested in the ships he served on and their ports of call while Carl was aboard. His World War II experiences included serving in both the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters of War from 1943 to 1946. Researching Carl’s US Navy activities included searching the Internet, sending E-mails to specific government archive locations, writing letters and putting pieces of information together from all these different sources. The first thing I wanted to accomplish was to obtain a photocopy of each of the ships he was assigned duty. There are multiple web sites for historic Navy ship photos, but none included the Carl “Kak” Caccese ships I wanted.

  • 1 Rensselaer and the Libery and Victory Ships Carl Westerdahl February 10, 2011 Tampa, Florida It‟S a Great Pleasure to Be He
    Rensselaer and the Libery and Victory Ships Carl Westerdahl February 10, 2011 Tampa, Florida It‟s a great pleasure to be here aboard ship and in the sun. Winter has not been kind to us northeasterners, increasing the temptation to experience more of your infernal/ eternal traffic lights and tropical storms. Today I‟d like you to join me as I discuss: 1. A few brief notes about a boat and a steamer named Rensselaer. 2. A short lesson on how to differentiate a WWII Liberty ship from a Victory ship 3. A concise introduction to two of the individuals who made those ships possible, 4. A to-the-point view of the lasting impact of their ship construction efforts 5. A succinct biographical sketch of the Institute‟s namesake the Rensselaer Victory. In 1822, during the construction of the Erie Canal, Amos Eaton, who would become the first Senior Professor and Co-Founder of the Rensselaer School, traveled from Albany to Buffalo to explore the geology along the canal and to bring the results back to the school‟s other “Co- Founder to be,” the Patroon Stephen Van Rensselaer. Eaton was accompanied by a budding artist whose name was James Eights. After the trip Eights created a series of engravings. They are essentially “tourist pictures” of the new canal. They were published as part of Eaton‟s geological map of the canal prepared for Van Rensselaer and completed in April of 1824, just seven months before the founding of the Rensselaer School. One of Eight‟s illustrations from the report showed the entrance to the Canal, a canal boat, and Van Rensselaer‟s home, among the largest private dwellings in America.
