SS Timothy Bloodworth was a standard Liberty ship built for the United States Maritime Commission during World War II.

[4] After Timothy Bloodworth's 22 April 1943 delivery to the War Shipping Administration,[2] she was assigned to the Lykes Brothers Steamship Company for operation out of her homeport of New Orleans.

[9] Timothy Bloodworth and twelve other ships parted from HX 245 to sail to Loch Ewe in Scotland.

On 9 November, west of Gibraltar, KMS 31, Timothy Bloodworth's convoy, parted company with the other ships and headed into the Mediterranean.

The cargo ship sailed from that port on 29 January, touching at Augusta the next day, and then joining convoy GUS 29 for Hampton Roads, Virginia.

Sources show Timothy Bloodworth arriving at Hampton Roads on 15 February but do not report any movements until early May, when she is shown sailing for Liverpool.

[12] Timothy Bloodworth, loaded with a cargo that included Motor Launches,[15] departed New York on 6 May as a part of convoy HX 290 for Liverpool.

Timothy Bloodworth departed again for Liverpool on 11 July as a part of HX 299 and arrived after thirteen days.

In the first attack—which occurred on 16 December, the first day of the German Ardennes Offensive—the ship suffered two casualties among her Naval Armed Guard detachment.

[17] In the second December attack, Timothy Bloodworth was at anchor in Antwerp later in the month awaiting a New York-bound convoy.

Although Timothy Bloodworth had a total of 68 people aboard—8 officers, 33 crewmen, 26 Armed Guard, and 1 passenger—no one was injured in either attack.

Timothy Bloodworth next sailed from New York for Liverpool, Southend, and Antwerp, arriving at the latter port on 30 April.

[12] After the German surrender, the War in the Pacific continued for another three months, but no secondary sources report any participation by Timothy Bloodworth, nor any of the ship's movements or whereabouts over the next two years.

At 13:00 on 26 June 1947, Timothy Bloodworth entered the Reserve Fleet at Astoria, Oregon, where she would remain for most of the next 16 years.

[18][Note 2] On 14 November, Timothy Bloodworth was withdrawn from the reserve fleet for scrapping in Portland, Oregon.

Timothy Bloodworth's bow section was one of nearly 150 buried in the private Liberty Ship Memorial Park on the banks of Portland's Willamette River.
