Publication Notes

"Many of the papers were devoted to the work of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, these being illustrated by both lantern slides and moving pictures. A medal was awarded W. Leslie Conyn of San Francisco, who was responsible for the ocean-going concrete ship, 'Faith,' built in the United States. This ship was launched March 14, 1918, at Redwood City, Cal., made a successful voyage around Cape Horn to New York City, and is still giving satisfactory service. The medal was awarded to suitably commemorate this splendid achievement." (p. 59)
