SS Martin Behrman

SS Martin Behrman was an American Liberty ship built in 1944 for service in World War II.

Her namesake was Martin Behrman, long-time mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Among the Liberty ships, the Martin Behrman was an EC2-S-C1 Type with Maritime Commission hull number 2827.

Most Liberty ships were named after prominent deceased Americans.

The Delta shipyard was started specifically for the war effort, at a site on the Industrial Canal near the Almonaster Avenue Bridge, immediately south of the present-day I-10 high-rise bridge.
