The new ship receives constant praise for how beautiful it is and how well built it is. The fact is that the liberty ships were considered to be "ugly ducklings", and they were built as quickly as possible from prefabricated sections. They were not designed for beauty or for comfort but to be able to serve. Between 1941 and 1945, one new ship would reach completion every 32 hours. The record time for building a ship from start to finish - in a competition between various shipyards - was 4 days, 15 hours and 29 minutes. A problem with the liberty ships was brittle fractures - cracked hulls and split decks. An even dozen of them simply broke apart on their own and sank. The problem was the combination of inexperienced workers and hasty construction. If the Seawitch was considered to be a truly fine ship, it was an exception.
