SS John W. Brown is a Liberty ship, one of two still operational and one of three preserved as museum ships.
Built in Baltimore in 1942, the SS John W. Brown sailed to New York to pick up supplies. From there, the ship headed to the Middle East to bring aid to allied Russian troops. In 1943, the ship was converted to carry troops as well as cargo. The SS John W. Brown also transported Italian and German prisoners of war (POWs). At the end of the war, the vessel carried American troops from Europe back to the United States.
The ship was decommissioned in 1947 and used for educational purposes to train merchant sailors. By 1982, the ship was no longer used for training and it was later moved to Baltimore in 1988. Now a National Historic Landmark, the SS John W. Brown is used for living history cruises.
This Trumpeter 1/700 scale model kit of the SS John W Brown comes with a display plate, one piece hull (full or waterline versions), deck, and accurate waterslide decal markings.
