I have the Purser's desk and chest of drawers from a Liberty Ship, scrapped at Todd Shipyard Seattle in the late 50's. My father worked there and employees were told to help themselves to the furniture, dishes, flatware etc.
The desk and chest are quarter sawn oak, very sturdy stuff - I've looked online for other examples to no avail so they must be rare.

There is a Mariners Museum in Virginia. That’s where I found the names of all the ships that my dad had mentioned. He was a Radio Operator.
