Delayed West Point Aboard Holds Up Atlantic Crossing
Nearly 500 expelled Axis nationals aboard the navy transport West Point remained in quarantine in New York Harbor delaying their voyage home. The 27,000 ton ship, once the Pride of the U S Merchant Marine, was to sail for Lisbon, bristling with guns and machine guns, but departure was postponed for a mass passenger and baggage check. Three reasons were given: safety checks for passengers and baggage, ongoing maneuvers off the coast, and concerns over ship readiness with navy crews aboard.
