Ship Christened Honors Republic Steel's Chief
In Baltimore today the first C4 type ocean going vessel converted to Great Lakes ore carrier was christened the TOM M. GIRDLER. Mrs. Tom M. Girdler, wife of Republic Steel's chairman, broke a bottle on the bow as the ship, owned 70 percent by Republic Steel via Nicholson Universal, enters Michigan steel ore service after conversion costing over 2 million dollars. The vessel, built from a former U S Maritime Commission cargo ship, will sail Cleveland to Duluth in about 12 days.
