Our Mission

Our mission is to educate.  

To educate people of all ages about the vital role of the wartime American merchant marine, Naval Armed Guard, and shipbuilders, three largely unheralded groups that were instrumental in the Allied victory in World War II, as well as the sealift for Korea and Vietnam, by presenting living history aboard the authentically restored Liberty ship JOHN W.
