OAKLAND, Cal . Aug. 8 Unlit in
twenty-four working days, the steel
cargo carrier Invincible. 12.00U tons
rapacity, was launched In Oakland
harbor at high noon Monday from the
j Alameda yard of the Bethlehem Ship
I nilding Corporation This is claimed
hv the yard managers as a world s
record.
The speed in construction was at
the request of Charles M. Schwab,
head of the Bethlehem Corporation,
director general of the Emergency
Elect Corporation When he raised
the blue pennant of the shipping
hoard, awarded for the best ship con
struction for .May in the United
States, over the Alameda yard, he
| asked the men lo get the Invincible
ready for launching In thirty days
They promised to do it in twenty
eight, hut have cut four days off that
figure.
The raising of the blue pennant was
part of the ceremonies attendant upon
the launching of four boats from the
same yard on the Fourth of July.
Among them was the Defiance, built
In thirty working rays.
Fifteen hundred men have been em
ployed day and night on the Invlnci
hie, a sister ship of the Defiance, the
keel of the former having been laid
within a few seconds after the latter
slid down the ways. Two days' in
terruption in the work was caused by
a strike of the boilermakers. This
was amicably settled.
The yard managers say that much
of ttic credit for the quick construc
tion is due to James Gregg, foreman
of the ship fitting department, and
James Krannan. foreman of riveters,
j Tile nu n themselves also have
I strained every effort in breaking tin*
' record
The Invincible is the tenth steel
vessel to he launched by tills yard in
j lit 18. and the twenty-fourth to be
launched in Oakland harbor it
i brings the tonnage of the Alameda
yard up to a total of 120,Ouu and of
the harbor to 248.000. This is an aver
age of one vessel every nine days.
The Invincible is a single screw
propeller, with a speed of eleven knots
loaded. It is 44o feet long between
perpendiculars. 50 feet beam and ’>s
