How One Civilian's Impossible Trick Made Liberty Ships Appear Every 4 Days Instead Of 230

In 1941, German U-boats were winning the Battle of the Atlantic. The Allies were losing ships faster than they could build them, and the traditional 230-day shipbuilding process was too slow to stop the bleeding. The war effort depended on a solution that the experts said was impossible.

This is the story of Henry J. Kaiser, a civilian industrialist who had never built a ship in his life. He applied the revolutionary techniques of American auto industry mass production to shipbuilding. Using prefabrication, welding, and a new workforce of farmers, clerks, and women, he created a system that could assemble a 10,500-ton Liberty ship in a matter of days.

Discover how Kaiser's shipyards built the SS Robert E. Peary in a record-shattering 4 days and 15 hours. Learn how this flood of over 2,700 new ships overwhelmed the German U-boat wolfpacks, won the critical "tonnage war," and became the logistical backbone of the entire Allied victory in World War II.
