| | Building Liberty Ships in Brunswick |
 | | Brunswick became an important exporter of naval stores, cotton, and wood during the nineteenth century, as well as a major shipbuilding location during World War I. However, the Great Depression, along with a general decline in the production of naval stores, severely damaged the port's economy. |
| | Brunswick Marine Construction Company constructed the required shipyard at the southern tip of Brunswick's peninsula, but by January, 1943 the USMC realized that it had made insufficient progress in the actual building of ships. |
| | The twenty-seventh ship built at Brunswick by J.A. Jones, her keel was laid on way #3 on December 23, 1943, and she was launched on February 14, 1944. |
