Thank you for posting your question to History Hub. While I am not aware of a comprehensive list of Liberty Ship Masters, my colleague Rebecca Collier in College Park located the following information in the series Armed Guard Files, 1934-1946:
SS Robert Battey: Masters include Frank C. Hunt, Paul Brolin (as of December 12, 1943), O.M. Statland (as of September 27,1944), P.H. Hoffman (as of October 1945).
SS Frederick Bartholdi: Master Robert J. MacAlvanah
SS Samselbu: Master F. C. Nesbit
For more information on records available in the Armed Guard Files series, please contact the reference staff in College Park at archives2reference@nara.gov.
Best of luck with your research!
