French and architect Henry Bacon produced the 24 foot replica and pedestal, which were dedicated May 11, 1918 to honor both the 25th anniversary of the Exposition and the 100th birthday of the entry of the State of Illinois into the Union.
The 10-foot high pedestal was designed by Henry Bacon of New York using pink Stony Creek granite "rubbed" to a sheen.
The replica deviated in two respects from the original--its orientation, it faced east instead of west, and in lieu of the Phrygian cap a placard proclaiming liberty with a wreath and a torch on the staff held by the left hand.

 Amazon.de: Heroes in Dungarees: The Story of the American Merchant Marine in World War II: English Books: John Bunker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Reading the stories is almost like watching a movie: we can see the German submarine circling, the Captain's reaction when he realizes attack is imminent, the battle of outgunned merchant ship vs. raider, the moments of chaos when the torpedo hits, the abandoning of the ship, and the fight for survival on rafts and lifeboats.
However, readers of Heroes in Dungarees will need a good map or globe by their side, because the major shortcoming of the book is the lack of good maps.
I was baffled by the fact that this Appendix ended with the sinking of the SS Black Point off Rhode Island on May 5, 1945, since there were over 30 more war casualties before war's end on Dec. 31, 1946.
