We certainly know more about Liberty ships than Victory ships so this is a real treasure of history. The view of the rounded stern is a proud chapter.

Nice capture. I would love to be able to take such a tour.
Great view of a great ship. I'm glad they saved a "Victory" because my dad sailed on the "Fairmont Victory" during WWII.
