Atom Ship Savannah Tickets Sought for Maiden Voyage
Several hundred people have applied for tickets to the NS Savannah, the United States first nuclear powered merchant ship, now 60 to 70 percent complete at New York Shipbuilding Corp. in Camden. Launch is set for Tuesday with trials in 1960 and a maiden voyage about a year later. Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower will break a champagne bottle on the prow. The ship, a peaceful energy demonstration, costs about 40.95 million dollars and will not rival oil ships yet, though future ships should be competitive in operating costs and earning power.
