BOHEMIAN CLUB TO NAME
SHIPPING BOARD VESSEL
SAN FRANCISCO, May 7—Mem
bers of the Bohemian Club, a noted
San Francisco organization , are to
be godfathers to a 10,000-ton Ship
ping Board merchantman, the Ship
ping Board having granted permis
sion recently to name a ship, being
built at Oakland, after the club. The
vessel, The Bohemian Club, will be
launched May 14.
Never before, according to oOicial
records, has the name of a club
been given to an American naval
or merchant vessel. The name was
given the vessel, it was announced,
to express the appreciation of naval
officers for the hospitality the club
has extended them since its estab
lishment in 1872.
Mrs. Haig Patigian, wife of the
noted sculptor, who is president of
the club, will sponsor the vessel. The
ship belongs to the Shipping Board.
