he said.
Col. Fuller, who served his country
and distinguished himself in the Army,
said, "The best move I ever made after
my travels around the world was to
move back home (to Brunswick)."
Nanelle Surrency Bacon from Ware
County was a 21 year old school teach
er when she went to work at the
Brunswick ship yard. "Today we are
standing on sacred ground," she said.
"My father was a labor foreman and
the only opening was in the welding
school. I became a tacker, a welder
then a certified welder. I also went out
on the ships for trial runs."
"I had the privilege of replacing
the welds that did not pass inspection
after the trial runs," she said.
Mrs. Bacon worked in the ship yard
from the spring of 1943 through May
of 1945. "We built the first ship in 305
days. We built the 64th ship in 45
days; the 74th ship in 34 days; and the
99th ship in 166 days," she said.
"It was a wonderful, patriotic feel
ing to work there. We were just as
important as the fighting men. On
Christmas Day 1944 the company
(J.A. Jones) was in the red and we
didn't know if we would get paid."
"J.A. Jones wrote special checks for
Christmas day. We signed them and
turned the money back to the compa
ny and they stayed afloat," she said.
"My sisters (Carobeth Surrency
Highsmith and Lauree Surrency
Hires) and I have spoken to hundreds
of school children about working in the
ship yard and how we gave an honest
day's work for an honest day's pay."
The newly created 1.85-acre Mari
ners’ Memorial Park at Liberty Har
bor commemorates the individuals
who built and launched 85 Liberty
Ships there diming WW II and the
heroic Merchant Marines who served
on those ships delivering precious
their cargo of supplies and equipment

Robert Strickland who pulled 45%.
Republican newcomer John Mada-
la squeaked past Garret Meader,
another newcomer, 51% to 49% in the
BOE’s Dist. 3 Republican race.

tender Rebecca Edwards in the fall.
Edwards ran unopposed in the pri
mary.
Like Tom Sublett, incumbent Dem
ocrat Venus Holmes ran totally unop
posed for the BOE Dist. 5 seat and
will return to office on January 1.
Another incumbent who was
unseated was BOE member Lance
Turpin, who ran for the At Large Post
2 seat instead of the Dist. 3 seat he
currently holds.
Turpin, who pulled 47% of the vote,
was bested by challenger Jerry Man-
cil, who collected 53% of the ballots.
U.S. House of Representatives
Georgia Dist. 1 incumbent Jack
Kingston will face Democratic opposi
tion from Bill Gillispie in November.
Both ran unopposed in the General
that were vital to the Alied victory.
Portions of the 14 'slipways' used to
launch the ships are being preserved in
perpetuity as part of Mariners’ Memo
rial Park at Liberty Harbor.
Ml of the slipways are being pre
served because their concrete portions
have become part of the Liberty Har
bor project. "We separated the rebar
from the concrete and used it to fill
in the roads in Liberty Harbor," said
Gary Waxman, Chairman and Presi
dent of Liberty Harbor LLC.
The morning event also recognized
the creation and donation of The Lib
erty Harbor Collection to the Coastal
Georgia Historical Society (CGHS).
The Collection is a compilation of
photographs, news clippings and other
artifacts as well as interviews with
people who build the Liberty Ships,
Merchant Mariners who sailed from
the port of Brunswick and those who
lived in and around Brunswick diming
