Empire Liberty

Empire Liberty was the prototype Liberty ship. She was a 7,157 GRT cargo ship which was built by J L Thompson & Sons Ltd, Sunderland. Launched on 23 August 1941 and completed in November 1941. Allocated in 1943 to the Greek Government and renamed Kyklades. Sold in 1947 to H C Dracoulis, Greece and renamed Mentor. Scrapped in October 1960 in Osaka, Japan.

The Liberty Ships played a massive part in World War 2 and the Sunderland created designs where licensed to other shipyards in England and America.

This artwork is hand sprayed + screen print, from a small run, this is the last one available, I have no plans to make any more, each print/painting is unique.

The print is taken from a mural Frank painted for the tall ships event in Sunderland.
