This DVD is a collection of Very RARE footage on USN Tankers and liberty ships built during WW2, plus Navy Cargo and supply ships that served into the late 1960's. During WW2, the Navy just could not get enough tankers built and decided to open a new plant in Marin County. The Marine ship Corp. started to build Liberty’s and the famous T-2 Tankers in record time. Sometimes, with the new technology of welding, some of these ships actually broke in half. This was fixed with a large brace, and then off to war they went. This is a collection of some very RARE film footage on the T-2 tanker and lots of other supply ships needed for the USN. We hope you will enjoy this DVD.
1st Film: "Marine Ship Corp: USN Tanker". This is a very rare film and maybe one of the few to be seen again. It is the story of building a complete shipyard in 1942, building the famous T-2 oil tankers, and of course the famous Liberty ship up to 1945. This film is in original color and narration of the plant as they built these ships from the ground up. Amazing footage. This film is so rare that it would easily be worth the price of the DVD alone, "BUT Wait" !!!!---Just kidding--- This film is worth your hard earned money for the history of it. Runtime 24:26 Min's
