Description: After the war, the J.A. Jones Company gave a cutaway scale Liberty ship model, previously used for training purposes, to the city of Brunswick for public display. Exposed to weathering for many decades, the original scale model eventually deteriorated to such an extent that it had to be scrapped.
A new scale model, dubbed the City of Brunswick, was unveiled on August 23, 1991 and can be seen today at Mary Ross Waterfront Park in downtown Brunswick. Adjacent to the ship model is a historical marker summarizing Brunswick's Liberty ship story. |
