Cooper, a retired professor and member of the Project Liberty Ship volunteer organization to restore the SS John W. Brown , details the voyages of one of the two survivors of World War II's fleet of 2,700 Liberty ships. He draws upon primary source documents and interviews with the crew, and includes 25 illustrations (from her 1942 Baltimore shipyard birthplace to her 1991 post-restoration cruise).
