You, of course, will smile, pleased that you had seized the opportunity when it was offered - knowing what a bargain it really is, a very well-made model ship at the very best possible price...less than half of what it could actually cost on the market!

Liberty ships were cargo ships built in the United States during World War II. Though British in conception, they were adapted by the U.S. as they were cheap and quick to build, and came to symbolize U.S. wartime industrial output.

Based on vessels ordered by Britain to replace ships torpedoed by German U-boats, they were purchased for the U.S. fleet and for lend-lease provision to Britain. Eighteen American shipyards built 2,751 Liberties between 1941 and 1945, easily the largest number of ships produced to a single design.

The production of these vessels mirrored, on a much larger scale, the manufacture of the Hog Islander ship and similar standardized types during World War I. The immense effort to build Liberty ships, the sheer number of ships built, and the fact that some of the ships survived far longer than the original design life of five years, make them the subject of much study.

This and all of our mahogany wood display model ships are the finest licensed products anywhere! Over thirty five years of building ship models shows in our work.
Each model takes many hours to add the detail and weapons that these boat models carry. The detail is as realistic as the orginal ship still on the water!
