Friendly very interesting tour and they take the ship out on a cruise twice a year!
A great cruise. Well worth the money.
A well preserved proud piece of US history.
One of only 2 Liberty Ships from WW II that are still operational and are used as museum, remain in the U.S. Although this one is docked at a maritime museum in Baltimore, MD, I was luck enough to get a chance to tour it when it made a short visit to Portland, ME. This was special as some 236 of them were built across the harbor in South Portland, ME. The other operational ship, out of over 2,700 built during the war, is the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, built in South Portland and now residing in San Francisco.
These were not the multi million or billion $ ships built today. They were cookie cutter ships, built in rapid succession, in some 18 shipyards. They were built quickly and cheaply, bore little armament, and were primarily used to transport troops and supplies to the war front. You will note the 'luxurious' sleeping quarters the troops were allotted for their cruise to the battlefront. Both of the ships, mentioned herein, were built in under 60 days, yes days!
A great piece of history. Cruise was excellent and we'll run by a dedicated volunteer staff.
The most amazing piece of history I've been on. It is a living history museum, meaning that it is an actively sailing ship. We stopped by unexpectedly while the crew was gearing up for a cruise. They had an engineer take us through the entire engine room, had their Gunner testing guns and showed us the Navy quarters, had the radio operators using the am directional finder, showed us the holds, and everything on board was shown to us. the john w Brown is one of two remaining liberty ships out of 2700. Please go an see this piece of history
