Hecan rebuild a ship's ventilators better than new. And when it comes to renewing lifeboat plates he's the best. So now you understand why we're proud of our sheet metal shop.

We do scheduled drydocking, voyage repairs, and major conversions. And we do them very well. The Savannah Yard. Savannah Machine and Shipyard Co. RO. Box 787, Savannah, Ga. 31402 Tele.
