Last week, after a bare decade of service, the Minnewaska and Minnetonka, 22,000-ton sister ships of once-famed Atlantic Transport Line, were sold for junk. As ships go, these namesakes of a pair of pre-War liners were not old. The Mauretania, launched in 1907, and the Olympic, launched in 1911, are still in transatlantic trade. But the Minnetonka and Minnewaska, built for comfort in an age of speed, took eight days from New York to London.* Comparatively exclusive, they carried only 400 one-class passengers in cabins amidships. Biggest cargo ships afloat, they rode rough seas smoothly...
...White Star. While it no longer owns the White Star's big three, it still has many an interesting ship. Of these, especially famed are: 1) Pennsylvania, California, and Virginia, turbo-electrics operated by Panama Pacific Line, the largest U.

But Captain Claret's capability, his geniality and prowess as a raconteur do not constitute a complete estimate of the man. There is linked...
...symbolically-minded said it was practically foreordained that oft-rescued Claret should rescue the distrait Courtney. Impalpable ministers of safety and service hover about the master of the Minnewaska. To accomplish this feat of systematic searching the ship was diverted 341 miles from its track. The Atlantic Transport Company wirelessed the Captain, "You were fortunate to carry out rules of sea and save souls, no matter conditions." The plane was not saved...
...Lake Minnewaska last week there were no restrictions. Young men and women, their hearts welling with religious feeling, talked quietly of confession, guidance, personal work; fortified themselves spiritually for this earthly life...
