Zustand: Very good. One of multiple originals. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 3.75 inches. Single sheet, printed on both sides. SS John W. Brown is a Liberty ship, one of two still operational and one of three preserved as museum ships. As a Liberty ship, she operated as a merchant ship of the United States Merchant Marine during World War II and later was a vocational high school training ship in New York City for many years. Now, she is a museum ship and cruise ship berthed at Pier 13 in Baltimore Harbor in Maryland. John W. Brown was named after labor union leader John W. Brown (18671941). The other surviving operational Liberty ship is SS Jeremiah O'Brien in San Francisco. A third Liberty ship, SS Hellas Liberty (ex-SS Arthur M. Huddell) is preserved as a museum ship in Piraeus, Greece. Construction of the Liberty Ships began in September 1941, and by war's end in 1945, some 2,700 had been built. They transported two-thirds of all cargo that left the U.S. during the war. The John W. Brown could carry as much as 9,000 tons of cargo and as many as 500 soldiers. After the war, the John W. Brown served as a New York City maritime high school until 1982. The ship arrived in Baltimore in August 1988. Following extensive renovations, it was back sailing under in August 1991. One other Liberty Ship, the Jeremiah O'Brien in San Francisco, is still in operation. John W. Brown's maiden voyage was her only one as a standard cargo ship. After returning to the United States, she became the first of 220 Liberty ships to undergo conversion into a "Limited Capacity Troopship" capable of transporting up to 450, 550, or 650 troops or prisoners-of-war. Her modifications which took place at Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation's Hoboken Shipyard in Hoboken, New Jersey included the installation of bunks stacked five deep for the embarked passengers on her forward tweendeck, additional shower and head facilities for them, two additional diesel-powered generators, and the installation of two more Oerlikon 20-mm automatic cannons. On 3 July 1945, John W. Brown left Philadelphia on her eighth voyage. She discharged her cargo at Antwerp, took aboard 419 U.S. Army troops, and departed on 28 July. She arrived at New York to discharge her passengers on 11 August 1945. On 15 August 1945 (14 August in the United States), V-J Day brought World War II to an end. From 17 August to 10 September 1945, John W. Brown underwent alterations at the J. K. Welding Company in Yonkers which increased her troop-carrying capacity to 562. On 13 September 1945, all of her guns were removed, and her last four Navy Armed Guard personnel were detached. John W. Brown departed New York on 9 August 1946 to begin her thirteenth and final voyage. She steamed to Galveston, Texas, and then on to Houston, Texas, where she loaded a cargo of grain. She then steamed from Houston to Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom, where she arrived on 22 October 1946. After unloading her cargo there, she proceeded to London, where she arrived on 29 October and took a small cargo aboard. Departing London on 1 November 1946, she steamed to New York, arriving there on 15 November 1946. After she unloaded her cargo, John W. Brown's final voyage officially was completed on 19 November 1946, bringing her seagoing career to an end. After John W. Brown completed her final voyage in November 1946, she was towed to her new berth at Manhattan's Pier 4 on the East River on 13 December 1946 to enter service as SS John W. Brown High School, the only floating nautical high school in the United States. The ship served in that capacity as a static training facility from 1946 to 1982, graduating thousands of students prepared to begin careers at sea in the merchant marine, the United States Navy, and the United States Coast Guard. When John W. Brown's school-ship days ended, the first Project Liberty Ship was formed in New York City to preserve her. It did not succeed in finding her a berth in New York, and instead she was towed to the James River R.

These coins, produced presumably in a very limited number, were made form the degaussing cable. Degaussing is a process in which systems of electrical cables are installed around the circumference of ship's hull, running from bow to stern on both sides. This greatly reduced the threat from German magnetic mines. The cable was made up of copper wires covered by a black thick coating. Volunteers spent many hours stripping the coating and had the coins made. The original members of Project Liberty Ship, the owners of JOHN W BROWN, received a coin when they joined. We some were also sold while supplies lasted in the ship's store. John W. Brown's maiden voyage was her only one as a standard cargo ship.
