A Ship Is Born

About this film

Short Warner Brothers documentary film about the United States Maritime Service (Merchant Marines). Produced for the U.S. Maritime Commission and U.S. Coast Guard. Begins with a shipyard and shipbuilding and then shows Merchant Marine training at the United States Maritime Service Training Station in Port Hueneme, California. Kind of goofy. Oddly, it was nominated for an Academy Award in 1943 for "Best Documentary."
