The Jeremiah O'Brien was, at the end of World War II, one of only a small handful of undamaged Liberty Ships in existence, a monumental feat of good fortune in itself since the ship miraculously survived the D-Day invasion - but the whole story actually involves the many attempts to rescue this historic ship from the wrecker's yard.
