New American liner to be built at American port
A new all American passenger liner will be built as a successor to the Leviathan at Newport News under a Maritime Commission subsidy, marking a step in expanding the U S merchant marine. The ship will be 723 feet long, larger than Manhattan and George Washington, but smaller than the Leviathan, and aims to be the safest and largest US built liner. The $1,250,000 scrap value of the Leviathan ends its era, with the contract signaling more such ships to follow.
