Historical Narrative
This Liberty ship was named
for Christy Mathewson (1880-1925).
Christopher "Christy" Mathewson was Major League Baseball pitcher
from Pennsylvania. Mathewson is regarded
as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, and was one of the first
inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Mathewson served as an officer in the
U.S. Army during World War I. His exposure to chemical weapons in a training
accident led to his development of tuberculosis, of which he died in 1925.
MARAD has no written history for the Liberty ship Christy Mathewson at this time.
