The SS Gouverneur Morris (Hull Number 1627) was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. She was named after Gouverneur Morris, author of large sections of the United States Constitution, including the Preamble.
The ship was laid down on March 29, 1943, then launched on April 18, 1943. She was given to the Soviet Union where she was renamed the Leningrad. Later in her life, she was given the name Ivan Kulibin but was eventually scrapped in 1974.
