A man and his posthumously published book David Harum actually lead to a Liberty Ship named after him. Mr. Edward Noyes Westcott was actually a banker....and remained in the banking field for many years....but it was the "book" that made his name very well known. And his name was submitted to the naming committee on naming Liberty Ships
-----------------------------------
The SS Edward N. Westcott was built in Oregon in 1943, was in many convoys but she really did not get into any real problems until 1945.
