Hello Basil,
Thank you for answering to my post..and thanks for the links to more pictures.
Although…lol..I now have to rebuild the bridge?superstructure….since in noticed that the top and bridge aisles are slightly curved downwards…as is of course usual in ships.
But…since my somewhat primitive blueprints didnt show that….and I assumed that these ships being built in haste and at low cost..that they omitted this curvature and build everything straigth..; not so…
ah welll…one lives and learns.
I have only one question…do you happen to have a picture of the back of the bridge
The pics one sees on the net are contradictory…some show her like it seems on the Greece Liberty…others show some more elaborate structure.
Thank you very much again…they are a great help in building this magnificant ship

Dear Joop,
Trust that all is well; I terribly regret the late reply as I have been busy with business and traveling.
I am sending you by email shortly two pictures of the accommodation that I think they give you an idea of the curvature; hope they are helpful; I have tried to go through my records, and regrettably I do not have many of such pictures; I only managed to find two of them. I will be in Greece in October and will try to visit the vessel again, and take more pictures.
Thank you for your consideration and patience! Once again, I do regret late reply.
Yours aye,
Basil
Ahoy Shipmates,
I would love to add a dedicated page for the SS Hellas Liberty to my site at http://museumships.us but have not much to go on.
Does the Hellas have a website or facebook page? An email address for one of Hellas’ crewmembers or volunteers would be great too!
Merry Christmas!

Ahoy Mate,
I am not aware of any website, facebook page or direct contact details to the museum ship ‘SS Hellas Liberty’. The custodians are working on having a proper social media presentation in the future. Both times I had the great opportunity to visit the vessel and take pictures onboard, it was a hit-and-miss trial at the port of Piraeus.
Pictures of the vessel can be found on a couple of postings on our blog at https://bmkaratzas.wordpress.com/?s=hellas. Please feel free to reproduce any of the pictures and material you may find of interest from our blog to http://museumships.us/ under the condition to give us full credit and hot hyperlink to our blog.
Good luck, and keep up the good work on this worthy cause!
And some pictures on USS Texas can be found at https://bmkaratzas.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/uss-texas-bb-35-basil-m-karatzas/
Cheers!
Merry Christmas!
Basil
Thanks Basil. I am going to try the two remaining Liberty’s here in the US, to see if they have any contact info.
All the best for 2016!

Pim,
Thank you; the website for the good ship SS ‘John W Brown’ in Baltimore is http://www.ssjohnwbrown.org/ They also have facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SSJOHNWBROWN
I was in Baltimore two months ago on business, and I managed to briefly visit the ship; in winter time, they have been doing maintenance onboard; they are active in spring / summer when the vessel actually sails. It’s a great story, and the people attending to the vessel are great.
Good luck!
Happy New Year!
Basil
