Pomeroy, the man who founded the Marine Record, a weekly publication devoted to shipping on the Great Lakes, in Cleveland 1878, died July 25, at St. Paul, Minn., while visiting his daughter, Mrs. C. hikes on Liner DeGrasse P ERHAPS in no other port in the world can dif- ficult ship repair jobs be handled so quickly and efficiently as in New York. The accompanying photo- graphs show the French liner DE GRASSE and the ro- tors of her turbines. Recently on arrival in New York it was found that several rows of blading in both low pressure turbines, of which she has two sets of Parsons cross compound type, had been damaged. The contract for repairing and renewing these units was carried out by the Todd Shipyards Corn. at the Tietjen and Lang plant, Hoboken, N. J. The rotors were removed from the vessel and the work in re- blading testing and balancing was done in the shop. Due to the ship’s great depth it required the larg- est derrick of the Merritt, Chapman and Scott Wreck- ing Co. to remove and replace the rotors. The DE GRASSE, a supurb transatlantic liner owned and operated by Cie-Generale Transatlantique, was built by Cammell, Laird & Co., in 1924. She is 552 feet long, and 71.2 feet in beam, and is 17,707 gross tons. She is propelled by twin screws. A job of this nature must be both quickly and well done. It was completed on time. The turbines were given a good test and the vessel sailed promptly.
