How One Civilian’s “Crazy” Idea Made Liberty Ships Roll Out Every 4 Days Instead of 230

How One Civilian’s “Crazy” Idea Made Liberty Ships Roll Out Every 4 Days Instead of 230
In November 1942, the impossible happened. A 441-foot Liberty Ship, the SS Robert E. Peary, was built and launched in just four days, fifteen hours, and twenty-nine minutes—a feat that stunned the world and changed the course of World War II. This is the untold story of Henry J. Kaiser, the civilian who transformed America’s shipyards into industrial powerhouses and proved that innovation could win wars just as surely as courage on the battlefield.

From the muddy flats of Richmond, California, to the roaring shipyards of Oregon, this documentary dives deep into how ordinary workers—men, women, and minorities—joined together to build the ships that kept the Allies alive. Witness how Kaiser’s revolutionary assembly-line shipbuilding, welding over riveting, and modular construction techniques turned traditional shipbuilding upside down.

Discover how a construction magnate who had never built a ship before ended up producing 1,500 vessels—including the fastest-built cargo ship in history—and how his innovations gave rise to modern industry, mass production, and even Kaiser Permanente healthcare.

This is not just the story of ships. It’s the story of the American spirit—the power of belief, teamwork, and relentless progress.
