Trust Shuts Shipyard in Elizabethport Amid Idle 300
In Elizabethport the United States Shipbuilding Company, under receiver James Smith Jr, shuts the Nixon works yard. About 300 workers are idle as plans to move or finish ships elsewhere emerge, with staff deserting work and some firms suspending operations. The move follows the trust’s reduced control and looming layoffs across Crescent and Moore foundries. Local merchants blame the trust for the shutdown and anticipate prolonged idleness.
