The S.S. John W. Brown, America’s oldest surviving Liberty ship, will visit the Port of Providence in September and dock at Providence Piers, Conley’s Wharf, at 200 Allens Ave.
One of only two surviving fully operational Liberty ships preserved in the U.S., SS John W. Brown is a product of the Emergency Shipbuilding Program that built more than 2,700 liberty ships during World War II. Designed for quick and relatively easy construction, Liberty ships made possible the massive sealift of troops, arms, and material to all theaters of the war. The Brown was built in 56 days by the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard in Baltimore. More details.
