Merc-- the SS Patrick Henry was the first Liberty ship built.

The SS Patrick Henry was scrapped where she was built - in Baltimore in 1958. Most were scrapped but a few remain. We were aboard the liberty ship SS American Victory last year that’s currently docked in Tampa, FL. We got to see the engine room and electrical system that’s off limits to everyone else.

It may be a bit before I get the second radio with the updated guts....unsure how I will convince Mrs S-19 stringing wires out the window is a good idea.

My goal is one oldies station....fingers crossed.

If all you’re going to listen to are AM-FM radio stations, a 31 inch antenna should work.

I will try a loop antenna at first to see how it goes.....

Merc-- Thanks for the information on the SS American Victory. Just a point of order, the SS American Victory is not a liberty ship it is a Victory class ship, the liberty ship was a smaller, earlier class. I have always marveled at the production rates of war material including these classes of ships in WWII.

I stand corrected. You’d think I’d have known, being an old Navy man.

Ramping up the various industries to meet the challenges of WW2 was astonishing. I often wonder if we could do it again today.
