merican Marine Week Closes Better Business in Sight WO groups, powerful in their influence for the good of the merchant marine, quite inde- pendent of one another, though close- ly related, devoted most of marine week, November 9-14, in New York to spreading knowledge and appreciation of the science of naval architecture and marine engineering and its prac- tical application to shipping as dem- onstrated at the marine exposition.
