About Harriet Tubman
SS Harriet Tubman (MC contract 3032) was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. She was named after Harriet Tubman, an African-American abolitionist and spy during the American Civil War, and was the first Liberty ship to be named for an African-American woman. The ship was laid down by the South Portland Shipbuilding Corporation, South Portland, Maine, on 19 April 1944, then launched on 3 June 1944. Twenty-two members of Tubman's extended family attended the launch. Eva Stuart Northrup, Tubman's great-niece, christened the ship. The ship survived the war and remained in active service until June 1952. Laid up in the Beaumont Reserve Fleet she would suffer the same fate as nearly all other Liberty ships; she was scrapped in 1973.
