Shipping Board offers 200 ships for scrap pile
The Shipping Board voted to offer for sale 200 ships for scrapping.

Henry Ford is among expected bidders, with interest in refrigerator ships owned by the board. The board hopes Ford may buy and recondition these vessels to carry Ford products south and fruit north as return cargo.
