TELESCOPE September Mullins of World War One Part VII: LAKE FIFE to LAKE FURNAS BY THE REV. EDWARD J. DOWLING, S. J. Earlier parts of this list appeared in Telescope issues of April, May and August of 1964, and in January, March and May of 1965. Part One described early lake-built ocean ships from about 1890 onward. Part Two described the Fredrikstad stand- ardized freighters which lake yards built for merchant fleets around 1916. Part Three listed "War" class lakers ordered for Britain and mostly requisitioned, undelivered, by the United States when it entered the war in 1917. Some " Lake" names not found in this list's alphabetical order will perhaps be re- named"War" class vessels described in Part Three. Part Four described those United States' Shipping Board lakers whose names did not begin with the word " Lake." Part Five alphabet- ically began the list from "Lake Agomak" to "Lake Elva," and Part Six continued through "Lake Fielding." In this issue we conclude the large body of "Lake F-" names.
