THEY MAY HAVE BEEN "UGLY" BUT THEY SURE HELPED WIN A WAR

 

 

WW II Losses

During World War II, two hundred twenty-nine Liberty ships were lost.  Most of these losses were due to enemy action.  The below listed ships [Which includes Liberty and other merchant vessels  ]damaged during the war and which were declared a constructive total loss before war's end and are considered wartime casualties, even if they physically survived beyond VE or VJ day and were scrapped later.  A ship is considered a constructive total loss when she physically survives a disaster but would cost more than she is worth, or insured for, to put back into service.

PLEASE NOTE: This is 'only' a list of names of the men... [which are listed under the name of the vessel they served on]...that was lost and or wounded on the date of the actual ship sinking or loss.  Reading the 'ship history' will so inform you of 'what the ship was involved in', where the precise location of the damage or sinking took place, and details of actually what happened on that particular day.

"Are you looking for one of the many 'Merchant Ships' [Other than a Liberty ship] that went down?  I've started to insert these "Other Merchant vessels" in the below listing.  Again, if there were lost crew, Merchant as well as Armed Guard you can access that list for that particular vessel by clicking "this"= [NAMES OF LOST CREW]

AS A SUGGESTION

(use your browser page search feature to locate the name of a ship....and if you wish to link to the page for lost crews and don't know the particular ships name I would suggest you use your 'search' feature as well for quick location of the surname.)

------------------------------

I do accept request for  losses of Liberty ship as well as Merchant ship histories.  Some entries will contain limited amount of convoy info [the histories are more pointed at the vessels sinking specifics rather than entire ship life history, a picture [if available], as well as crew info [again, if available].

Also available on request are Liberty ship pictures, not all Libery ship pictures are available, but what has been compiled will be offered from other sources.

Just submit a request via e-mail to the below address for histories or pictures and you will receive a reply within a reasonable time frame.
