Correction: In our list of the Standard Oil Fleet, in TELESCOPE, June, 1963, we stated on page 128 that the barge GOTHAM 84 (ex S. O. CO. NO. 84) had been scrapped in 1945. True, her commercial document was withdrawn at that time, but she was sold to the U. S. Government. She returns to commercial status in a redocumentation in 1955, as the scow GOTHAM, owned by Merritt-Chapman and Scott, with new dimensions of 124 x 43 x 8.4; 277 gross tons and 256 net. Evidently the hull has been cut down and the bow and stern removed. Thanks to William A. McDonald for calling our attention to this.
