SS Emile Berliner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SS Emile Berliner (HIN 2139) was a World War II American Liberty ship which assisted the transport of group materials used by the United States Army Air Forces' 509th Composite Group during Operation Alberta in Tinian, Northern Marianas.
Constructed for the WSA at the Permanente Metals Corporation[1][2], Emile Berliner was delivered to the United Fruits Company for use as a freighter.[3]
The Liberty ship was named after German-American inventor Emile Berliner, who was noted for contributions towards the gramophone.[4][citation needed]
