Thirtieth Ship Launched At Grant Smith-Porter Yard
The Alector, thirtieth ship launched at the Grant Smith-Porter shipyard in St Johns, slid into the Willamette last Thursday. The Emergency Fleet Corporation craft marks a milestone amid wartime peril, though the war’s end prevented full participation in the merchant marine effort. Eric V Hauser praised the yard's progress as hulls four remain to be completed in about five months. Mrs J W Hall, wife of the assistant manager, crashed a bottle of wine on the prow as the ship slipped free.
