Ships Sold Abroad and Losses in WWII Maritime Program
Investigations by Senator Williams reveal the U S Maritime Commission sold 1956 vessels since 1936, including two 1940 ships for 17 000 each, and three 24 million dollar ships for 308 832. The Nicholson Universal Steamship Company later secured a 4 950 000 loan using those ships as security. Taxpayers face losses potentially totaling over two billion dollars.
