Sea-Going Peirce Launched At Point Pleasant Yards
The 794-ton USC&GSS Peirce slid down the Marietta Manufacturing Co. ways on the Ohio River before about 2500 spectators. The launch marked the first of five sea going ships under $13 million in government contracts, with Miss Helen E. Ellis christening the 163-foot vessel. The shipyard’s success boosts Mason County and the Ohio Valley, and Marietta Co. is a likely bidder on additional contracts.
