Historical Narrative



This Liberty ship was named for David L. Yulee (1810-1886). David Levy Yulee was lawyer, politician, and businessman. Yulee was a Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives from the Territory of Florida from 1841-1845, and a U.S. Senator from Florida from 1845-1851 and 1855-1861. Yulee was the first Jewish member of the U.S. Senate. Before and after his time in Congress, Yulee was heavily involved in building railroads throughout Florida, founding the Florida Railroad Company and earning the nickname "Father of Florida Railroads."

MARAD has no written history for the Liberty ship David L. Yulee at this time.
