BACKGROUND
This scenic point of land overlooking Portland Harbor, where Bug Light Park stands today, was once home to a sprawling World War II Shipyard. During World War II, the South Portland Shipyards built cargo vessels and Liberty Ships, contributing immeasurably to the Allied victory in World War II.
The Liberty Ship Memorial was conceived as a tribute to the thousands of men and women who worked at the South Portland Shipyards; the seamen who faced the dangers of war on board the Liberty Ships; all of those who served in the war and their families; and the South Portland residents who shared their backyard with a booming shipyard.
This Memorial strives to keep the spirit of the shipyard alive for future generations. The centerpiece of the Memorial is a sculpture, constructed of steel and standing over 35 feet tall and 65 feet long. Creating a sculpture that would be faithful to the details of an actual Liberty required extensive research, since only two of the original Liberty fleet still existed and original construction drawings were incomplete. The design team travelled to San Francisco and Toledo to photograph and measure the ships so that the sculpture would accurately portray the bow section of the Liberty Ship as she would have appeared under construction in the dry dock. With its exposed frames and partial exterior plating, the sculpture conveys the ship's scale, lines, and construction details. It also illustrates the utilization of pre-assembled parts that allowed Liberty Ships to be constructed so quickly.
Details such as the size and spacing of the frames, height of the deck, welded plates, position of the gun turret, and color of the paint are among the many elements that remain true to the original Liberty's construction. The ships were launched from the shipbuilding basins with their bows out, and so the Memorial is oriented facing the bay. Aptly, the bow of the sculpture forms a chapel-like enclosure for viewing and reflection. Finally, the parking lot was paved to match the footprint of a Liberty Ship.
