Piraeus, Greece 05/04/2016.
The 135m long SS Arthur M. Huddell was built by St. John’s River Shipbuilding Company in Jacksonville, Florida, on October 25, 1943 and was launched in early December of the same year. Originally, the ship carried explosives to Europe and in 1944 she was converted to a pipe carrier. After the end of the war, she was laid up until 1956, when converted to a cable laying vessel. After the end of the war, in 1956, Huddell was transferred to the US, where she was used to support cable operations for the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS), up until 1984. From then on and until 2008, the vessel had been in cold lay-up condition.
In 2008, SS Arthur M. Huddell was towed from Norfolk, Virginia to the main harbor of Piraeus, in order to be converted into a museum ship. For the two following years, the ship underwent general repairs and conversions at the ports of Salamis and Perama, in Greece, since she was in severe state of decay. Eventually, in June 2010, she was presented to the public in her restored form and renamed to SS Hellas Liberty.
Today, SS Hellas Liberty is docked in Piraeus’ main port, right next to the old SILO buildings, on Vasiliadis coast. A visit to this ship-museum offers the visitor the opportunity to familiarize with the evolution of the Greek and global alike, merchant maritime industry and to travel through history at a time when navigation depended mostly on seafaring skills.
