Launched as George P. Garrison, she was completed as the Belgian Liberty as part of the lend lease program to Belgium.  In 1947, she returned to the U.S. Maritime Commission and her name was changed back to the Garrison.  At that time she was laid up in the Hudson River.  She was eventually transferred to the Department of Commerce, but again idle in the Hudson.  In 1975, the Garrison had her upper structures razed and was sunk as an artificial reef.
