Floating Training Ships Proposed by Marine League
The National Marine League of the United States formed a committee to work with the Shipping Board and Commerce Dept on a plan to maintain training ships in U S waters. The aim is to steadily increase seamen for submarine war needs and postwar merchant marine growth, with trustees vessels capable of housing about 300 nautical students. The idea likens such ships to a floating Plattsburg.
