History[edit]

There is a great image of this ship at http://usmaritimecommission.de/pictures.php?code=B0746a but I'm not sure on how to use images from the National archives when it has a copyright.Wikiinfomation (talk) 13:47, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent picture of SS Lawton B. Evans! I can actually see the crew of Navy Seaman on their way to battle the Nazi's even though they don't know what they are in for yet. Shipresearch (talk) 22:49, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable sources[edit]

References 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 are not reliable sources. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 02:15, 26 January 2017 (UTC) not in Georgia.[reply]

ADDSCO is Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding Company. It's in...Alabama.[edit]

Kinda doubt this has much to with Jawjuh beyond the sponsors. Anmccaff (talk) 18:40, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This ship is on the list of ships built by ADDSCO seen here. There was only 2 companies in Georgia that built Liberty ships the Southeastern Shipbuilding Corporation and the J.A. Jones Construction Company and I can't find SS Lawton B. Evans on their list of Liberty ships built. It does appear to be funded by some people from Georgia just not built there.

They built 20 Liberty Ships: See http://shipbuildinghistory.com/shipyards/large/alabama.htm.Telecine Guy (talk) 18:32, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
