Summary This episode covers the remarkable history of the US Liberty Ship 'Jeremiah O'Brien,' one of the stars of the Liberty Ship fleet that kept the supplies flowing to our soldiers and sailors around the world. The Jeremiah O'Brien was, at the end of World War II, one of only a small handful of undamaged Liberty Ships in existence, a monumental feat of good fortune in itself since the ship miraculously survived the D-Day invasion - but the whole story actually involves the many attempts to rescue this historic ship from the wrecker's yard. The evening was a 'launch' of the O'Brien in its new berth at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, where supporters hope to fund its rehabilitation through donations developed through the attention of tourists.
