Abstract:

The outbreak of World War II caught the United States short of cargo ships to send vital war supplies to the Allies, along with a means to protect them. Scott discusses shipbuilding in Wilmington where 243 ships were constructed. At its peak in 1943, the shipyard employed over 20,000 people.
