Liberty Ships

It appears to me that the Embassage(1935) was not a Liberty Ship and that in fact no Liberty Ships were built in the UK. The Liberty Ship article says, "The predecessor designs, which included the "Northeast Coast, Open Shelter Deck Steamer", were based on a simple ship originally produced in Sunderland by J.L. Thompson & Sons based on a 1939[sic? As noted this article dates the Embassage design to no later than 1935] design for a simple tramp steamer..." There is a list (actually several, since it is broken into separate articles "A-F", etc.) elsewhere on Wikipedia of Liberty ship names and the Embassage is not on that.
