He spent two years in Kinshasha and Matadi, Republic of the Congo, where he represented the Com- pagnie Maritime Beige during those years.

Blount To Build Replica Of Paddle Wheel Excursion Boat Blount Marine Corporation of Warren, R.I. announces the signing of a contract to design and build a full size replica of a Mississippi River paddle wheel excursion boat for the Combined Thousand Island Boat Tours, Inc. The owners of the new vessel operate Uncle Sam's Boat Tours out of Alexandria Bay, N.Y., and conduct sightseeing tours in the Thousand Islands. Complete with a hinged antique smoke stack and all the filigree of the nostalgic river steamers, the all-steel 65-foot two-deck boat will have a single stern paddle wheel and will be twin diesel powered. It will have a 150-passenger capacity. The new owners came all the way to Rhode Island because they needed a sea-kindly paddle boat. The St. Lawrence gets rough at times and the ordinary Mississippi style flat bottom doesn't work too well. In fact, a flat bottom boat has difficulty even stemming the wake of the many cargo freighters using the St. Lawrence Seaway. The flat bottom pounds and slaps in the waves, so the new boat will have a Mississippi style superstructure, but a modern seagoing "V" bottom. Delivery will be made in May via Long Island Sound, the Erie Canal and St. Law- rence Seaway. Newport News Gets Poseidon Contract Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Va. has received a con- tract for advance planning and design for the Poseidon (C-3) conversion and overhaul of the nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine Henry L. Stimson (SSBN-655). The value of the contract is in excess of $2.5 million. This contract is in addition to a contract for similar work on two other sub- marines which the yard won in June 1970.
