Description
Text reads "The E.A . Bryan is dedicated to former Washington State 4-H Club members serving in World War II . Washington State 4-H Club members sold bonds in excess of $2,000,000 from January 3 , 1944 to March 1 , 1944 to finance the cost of this ship. " The E.A . Bryan was a 7212 ton Liberty ship , built in Richmond , CA. It was destroyed in a July 17 , 1944 accident at Port Chicago Naval Base , in the San Francisco Bay . That explosion triggered the so-called "Port Chicago Mutiny " wherein 50 African-American soldiers were convicted of mutiny after demanding safer working conditions , and the deaths and the trial are held to be one of the major forces in causing the desegregation of the U.S . Navy . E.A . Bryan was President of Washington State College from 1893 to 1915 .
