Leviathan to Sail June 9 In Transatlantic Run The United States shipping board bureau has decided that the United States liner LEVIATHAN must be re- turned to service. Consequently, the big liner is under- going a thorough overhauling and will sail from New York on her first voy- age on June 9, in command of Capt. A. B. Randall, commodore of the United States lines fleet and master of the liner MANHATTAN. Capt. Giles C. Stedman, who has been master of the American merchant liner AMERICAN BANKER, will be transferred to the LEVIATHAN, in his former capacity as staff captain. The overhauling of the LrEVIATHAN to place her in excellent condition for service, it is reported, will cost at least $150,000. The International Mercantile Ma- rine had pointed out to the shipping board bureau that her sailings had shown an average loss of $80,000 a round trip, and had suggested that, in lieu of the requirements calling for at least seven round voyages per year, the company would set aside a figure equal to the average losses incurred on previous voyages, to be applied in the construction of a third liner similar to the MANHATTAN. Since the shipping board bureau has decided against this arrangement the line will now operate the LEVIATHAN on at least five round voyages, sailing from New York June 9, June 30, July 21, Aug. 11, and Sept. 1. Ports of call for the LEVIATHAN will be Plymouth in England and Havre in France, with a call at Southhamp- ton on the return voyage. In speaking of the resumption of the operation of the LEvVIATHAN, P. A. S. Franklin, president of the Interna- tional Mercantile Marine, said: “The LEVIATHAN is a fine ship and we will do our best to make a success of running her this year. She is not in bad condition despite the year’s lay-up, as she was well maintained right along. When she sails on June 9 she will be in as good a shape as she has ever been. “Here is an opportunity for the American people to show their appre- ciation of the American merchant ma- rine by traveling on the LEVIATHAN and using her “or mail and express and thus helping to build new ships.” With reference to what effect plac- ing the LevIATHAN in service might have on the question of building a new ship of the MANHATTAN and WASHINGTON type, Mr. Franklin pointed out that this now becomes a greater problem but that the company is anxious to go ahead with the plan. MARINE REVIEw—June, 1934 Maritime Day Is Observed In Many Sections The second annual observance of na- tional maritime day, May 22, so desig- nated by act of congress and the sub- ject of a special proclamation by the President, was participated in by more than a score of organizations in many sections of the nation.
