Historical Narrative
This Liberty ship was named for Edwin Joseph
O'Hara (1923-1942). Edwin Joseph O'Hara was a U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy Cadet aboard SS Stephen Hopkins who was posthumously decorated
for heroism during a gun battle with the German raider Stier, that
resulted in the sinking of both vessels. O'Hara single-handedly operated the
4-inch gun before being mortally wounded.
MARAD has no written history for the
Liberty ship Edwin Joseph O'Hara at
