The Maritime Museum of Tasmania, in Hobart has a model of what it claims
is an Australian-made liberty ship. It claims it was one of 13 such
liberty ships produced by Australia in WW2.

I studied the model and noticed that it seems slightly different to a US
liberty ship. When I tried to question the museum attendance who are
supposed to be experts, I discovered that they useless for any
information on any of the subjects in the museum.

However although it may be an Australian copy of a US design modified by
local manufacturing conditions I suspect it is a merchant ship produced
in Australia and called a liberty ship as a generic name afterwards.

Any thoughts on this?
