Merchant Marines and Liberty ships were vital to the war effort because they were responsible for transporting shipments of supplies to military bases around the world for U.S. and Allied forces.
In times of war, the Merchant Marine can be an auxiliary to the United States Navy, and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military.
In an attempt to reverse this, Congress passed the Merchant Marine Act of 1928. The statutes main provision authorized the USSB to offer generous subsidies in the form of mail contracts to companies that built new, fast vessels for the major oceanic trade routes.
The Jones Act (Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920) ensures that this essential industry remains under American control by requiring that vessels moving cargo between U.S. locations be owned by American citizens, crewed by American mariners and built in American shipyards.
The Shipping Act of 1916 created the USSB, the first Federal agency tasked with promoting a U.S. merchant marine and regulating U.S. commercial shipping. Congress enacted the law in part to reform the nations maritime industry and to respond to the severe shipping shortages as a result of World War I.
