Description
William Francis Gibbs (August 24, 1886 – September 6, 1967) was a renowned naval architect who directed the mass production of cargo ships for the United States during World War II, including the famous Liberty ships, of which 2,751 were built. In partnership with his brother Frederic Herbert Gibbs, he designed the passenger liner SS United States (launched 1952).Sometimes I wonder how Gibbs would have felt if he saw me the way I am today... I bet he'd be horrified...
