T HE CANAVERAL lock gates, built by the AGS New Construction Division, show the shipyard's capabilities in the fabrication of heavy structural components which require both large-scale production and handling facilities, and extreme precision. Each welded steel gate, weighing 90 tons, fits precisely into wedge-shaped lock wall pockets with clearances of 1 /16 inch. The four gates swing on 20-inch balls and split bushings of aluminum-bronze, machined to less than .005 inch tolerance.

These same capabilities and standards of workmanship have made Aerojet-General Shipyards a leader in progressive ship repair and conversion— and the No. 1 builder of new ships for oceanographic research.

Blue Sea Line Is New Name Of MIL Service

Anew name and a new symbol has been launched at sea by two old line com -

panies, the Blue Funnel Line of Liverpool, England and Swedish East Asia Company Limited of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Blue Sea Line is the new trade nam e vhich the British and Swedish firms have idopted for the long established steamship height service operated as MalayaHndo- resia Line.

A new, stylized anchor symbol has been idopted for the Blue Sea Line and will ippear on its House Flags and in adver-t in g .

The new symbol is also to be used for he long-established De La Ram a Lines, m other joint venture operation of Blue Funnel and Swedish East Asia.

Blue Sea Line will continue to link U. S. Atlantic and Gulf ports with Middle East-ern, Malaysian and Indonesian ports on a twice monthly scheduled service.

The nam e De La Ram a Lines is used on the West Bound service from Asia to the United States.

Funch, Edye & Company general agents for Blue Sea Line and D e La Ram a in the United States, announced that the new name was adopted due to the feeling of the owners that the form er nam e was not fully descripted of the entire scope of service.

The first vessel to sail from Jacksonville under the new Blue Sea was the LARS MELLING, departing Novem ber 16.

Strachan Shipping Com pany is the Jack-sonville Agent.

Phosphate Plant Being Expanded

L A K E L A N D

p i mith-Douglass Company, Inc. of N or- 3 folk, Virginia, has awarded a contract to tVellman-Lord Engineering, Inc. to design md expand their phosphate defluorination plant at Plant City.

Construction on the new facilities is un -derway and completion is scheduled for early 1965.

The new plant will produce a deflouri- nated phosphate as the end product. This is used to raise the levels of phosphorus (and calcium) to nutritional requirem ents in vir-tually all animal and poultry feeds.

Smith-Douglass has been a leading F lor-ida producer of feed phosphorus supple-ments and this expansion will allow them to meet the growing demand for their p rod-ucts.

George W. Gibbs

Is Honored

By Propeller Club

G EORGE W. GIBBS, founder of Gibbs Corporation shipyards in 1911, and one of the most honored and respected leaders in the

Southeastern maritime industry, was honored by the Propeller Club of Jacksonville at its annual Past President’s meeting December 17.

Gibbs is generally credited with maintaining the drive and effort for construction of the Cross-Florida Barge Canal when all others had

written it off as a hopeless effort. He volunteered many hours and days of his time to work for the canal. Simultaneously, he fought for creation of an effective Jacksonville P ort A uthority which would en-able Jacksonville to fill its role as m ajor seaport of the Southeast.

A scroll honoring Gibbs was presented by Past President E. L. Bouchelle.

Among those at the meeting were, left to right across page, John W. Connolly Jr. and Thomas Guthrie of Eastern Seaboard Petroleum; Harold Jorgensen, Humble Oil; Floyd Cagle, Aero et-Genera! Shipyards; Gibbs; Owen McCuller, Charles H. Blume & Co.; Larry Aiken, Nautical Supply;

Carroll Is Elected PresidentJOSEPH F. CARROLL JR.. of Florida Towing Corporation was

elected December 17 to become the next president of the Propeller Club, Port of Jacksonville. H e will succeed James W. Coppedge, presi-dent of Diesel Shipbuilding.

The installation banquet will be held January 23 at the H otel Roosevelt.

O ther new officers will be Capt. Jonathan Wainwright, marine sur-veyor, as First Vice President; Attorney Henry F. Martin Jr., 2nd Vice President; James D. Goodloe of Parkhill-Goodloe Dredging, sec-retary, and Melvin M. Morse, St. Johns Bar Pilots, treasurer.

$15-MILLION RUTILE MINE

IN AFRICA ENGINEERED

BY JACKSONVILLE FIRM

rVTith potential reserves of 30-million tons of rutile o r better in its m ineral con-

:ession and a proven ore body of 3-million ons drilled out, Sherbro Minerals, Ltd., is :ommencing construction of p lant facilities n Sierra Leone, West Africa, that will en- tble the company to produce the titanium nineral at the rate of 100,000 tons per /ear.

The engineering know-how and m uch of he physical equipment for the huge oper- ition is being supplied by Jacksonville firms.

The entire dry processing p lant is to be tssembled here during the Spring of 1965 ind exported from Jacksonville directly to sierra Leone — and finally hauled up a tidal :reek to Niti, 16 miles from the p lant site.

Engineering for the dry processing plant las been done by Carpco Research and E n-gineering Inc., of Jacksonville, headed by I. Hall Carpenter.

Robert V. Spencer, a long-time resident of Jacksonville and form er Carpco engineer, spent approxim ately five years in Sierra Leone drilling out and evaluating the ore body to determine the exact extent of the resources available. H is experience, and that of his family, supplied the m aterial for a best-selling book by Bob's wife, Sue Spen-cer, entitled “A frican Creeks I Have Been U p.”

A fter Spencer m ade a complete evalua-tion of the ore body, the m inerals were con-centrated by gravity processing in Sierra Leone. A 100-ton shipm ent of concentrates was put in steel drums and sent to Carpco’s Jacksonville p lant on Haines Street near Talleyrand Docks and Terminals fo r pilot p lant testing and separation of the rutile from the other minerals.

Pilot tests by Carpco indicated that a good, high-grade rutile could be obtained

J. Hall Carpenter

from the Sierra Leone deposit and Sherbro M inerals Ltd., was set up domestically to carry on the project.

Sherbro Minerals is 80% owned by Pitts-burgh Plate Glass Company, which will use substantial am ounts of rutile for its titanium tetrachloride p lant to produce titanium di-oxide and 20% by British T itan Products of Bellingham, England.

George Cobb is president o f Sherbro. The Sherbro M inerals management team in Sierra Leone are form er residents of the Jacksonville area by virtue of their associ-ation with Carpco or one or more of the rutile firms in this area. Spencer will be gen-eral manager; William Siprelle mine and mill manager; Leon Gray mine and mill superintendent; A1 Miller, mill superintend-ent, and Charles Devlin, maintainance su-perintendent.

Two Years to BuildBecause of the long rainy seasons, it will

require about two years for the p lant to be erected and in production. By then, Pitts-burgh Plate Glass and British T itan P rod-ucts will have invested approximately $15,- 000,000 in the venture.

Significance of the venture is best meas-ured in terms of the current Free World production of rutile which is only 180,000 tons per year — most of it coming from Australia’s beach sands.

W ith the dem and for titanium m etal in the m anufacture of supersonic planes and new missiles going steadily upward, Sher- bro’s operation assumes even m ore im por-tance. Even with Australia in the picture, an increase of more than 50% in rutile sup-ply is at hand.

The new ore body lies on a strip of coastal plain, 25 miles long and 16 miles wide, in the Southwest corner of Sierra Leone. Enough rutile has been found over some 240,000 acres to justify a conservative estimate of the 30-million tons available. In the most promising area of 3,000 acres, Spencer has completed 4,000 drill holes proving the availability of the 3-million tons.

The rutile, deposited to a depth of 40 feet, will be mined by an hydraulic dredge designed by Ole Erickson of Tam pa, an in-ternationally known engineer who also serves as consultant to the Tam pa Port Authority.

On the cutting end of the dredge will be a Peacock cutter head cast of steel by F lor-ida M achine and Foundry Com pany of Jacksonville.

Desliming and wet concentration of the mined material will be done on the dredge in a bank of twenty 24-inch cyclones. Rei-chert circular sluices m ade of fiberglass lined with Linatex will make a heavy m iner-al concentrate which will be piped to a Carpco-designed drying and separating plant ashore where the titanium minerals will be extracted.

The wet concentration p lant is being de-signed by Ernest Reichert in Southport, Queensland, Australia. W et pilot p lant tests

SKILLED NATIVE labor is used to operate Carpco-designed and managed rutile mines in Africa and other parts of the world.

An Engineering Solution To the Alrican Problem

Mining engineers work in remote countries and encounter problems which are unusual.

During the pilot plant tests of the 40,000 volt high tension separators in Sierra Leone, the mining camp was beseiged by flies, very similar to the may fly.

At the time of swarming, the flies naturally drop their wings. When their wings drop, the grubs drop to the ground and quickly disappear into holes.

It so happens that the high voltage of the Carpco separators attracts these wings very quickly, bringing them in like an electro-static precipitator and causingarcing of equipment.

To complicate matters, the grubs are considered a delicacy by the natives, who run around spearing them on little sticks. Afterwards, they get shovels and roast the grubs over a fire.

You cannot get any of the natives to work as long as this delicacy is available.To solve the problem, Carpco engineers have considered a big net, fan and

light so that they can collect as many of the flies as possible— providing the natives with a really big feast, and keeping the wings out of the equipment.

there were observed by personnel of Sher- bro, Pittsburgh Plate, and Carpco.

C arpco has engineered the entire oper-ation from the tim e the minerals leave the Reichert cone concentrators on the floating p lant until the rutile is stored in silos.

F rom the silos, the product will be hauled 16 miles by covered hopper trucks to 2,000- ton covered hopper barges on the tidal creek at Niti, there to be towed 18 miles tc deep water for transfer to ocean freighters

Barges & DredgeP IT T S B U R G H , PA .

A multimillion dollar contract for marine equipm ent to be used in recovering and

shipping rutile from the Sherbro Minerals Ltd., mine has been awarded to Dravo Corporation at Pittsburgh.

The equipm ent includes:• Diesel electric cutter head section

dredge with a 20-inch discharge.• A 660 hp push towboat.• F our 2,000 ton capacity covered cargo

barges.• A specially designed barge with ma-

terials handling equipment for trans-ferring ore from cargo barges to deep sea ships at a rate of 300 tons an hour.

• A service barge and a small tank bargefo r use with and fueling the dredge.

• Two steel pontoons to carry the dredgepipe line.

The dredge was designed by Ole Erickson of Tam pa. D ravo designed the towboat

Sherbro Minerals(Continued from Page 7)

while D ravo and Sherbro engineers work-ed together in developing the rutile barges and transfer barge.

The hull and part of the dredge super-structure, all o f the barges, the towboat and pontoons will be constructed and launched in Pittsburgh. A fter being towed down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to the G ulf of Mexico, the boat and three smaller barges will be loaded aboard a freighter as deck cargo for the trip to Africa. Components of the dredge will be carried across the A t-lantic by the big cargo barges.

The dredge will be 112 feet long with a beam of 30 ft. 6 inches. A 22Vi inch sec-tion pipe will be mounted on the boom of the five bladed Peacock Cutter H ead being cast in Jacksonville by F lorida M achine and Foundry Company.

Both the derrick barge and the fuel barge will have outside dimensions 25x10x4 ft. An A-fram e derrick on the service barge will have a lifting capacity of 5 tons. The fuel barge will be 6,000 gallon capacity.

The cargo barges will be 224 feet by 35 ft. with a moulded depth o f 15 ft. The ves-sels will have trough shaped cargo boxes so that material will slide down the sloping sides into the center.

World's Largest Coal-Phosphate Barge In ServiceT he longest dry cargo barge ever built,

“The LOUISE K IR K PA TR IC K ,” and the 3,200 horsepower tug “K A TRIN E CLEW IS” m ade their m aiden trip into Tam pa Bay N ovem ber 12, hauling approxi-mately 17,000 tons of coal to Tam pa Elec-tric’s G annon Station.

The trip m arked the beginning of a schedule run of the coal shipping vessels and the start of a broadly expanded coal procurem ent procedure for Tam pa Electric.

A nother tug and barge are to be pu r-chased early in 1965 in the improved coal- shipping plan. A river towboat will be pu r-chased and a river-to-ocean-shipping trans-fer station is under construction south of New Orleans.

The tugs and barges returned to New Orleans laden with phosphate rock in a closed circuit operation which lowers the cost o f coal fo r the electric p lant and the cost o f phosphate rock for producers in the mid-continent area.

(Details of the operation are contained in an article in the Decem ber issue of the SEAFARER.)

Florida Power Corporation is building a coal-fired generating plant at Crystal Rivei on the G ulf Coast.

Coal for the F lorida Power Corporatior plant will be barged from Kentucky to New Orleans and across the G ulf to Crysta River. A fter discharge there the barge: will proceed to Tam pa to load phosphati similar to the Tam pa Electric Compam operation.

Barge Canal Lock BegunOVERNOR FARRIS BRYANT drove a bulldozer across the span of the St.

U r Johns Lock in Putnam County on December 17 signaling the start of con-traction on the first of five navigational locks on theL Cross-Florida Barge Canal.

The bulldozer swath by the G overnor climaxed a brief cerem ony at the site >f of the $51/2 million construction job. The lock site is about eight miles south-east of Palatka just off State Road 19.

Major Gen. A. C. Welling, Division Engineer fo r the U. S. A rm y Corps of ingineers’ South Atlantic Division, participated in the brief lock ceremony.

A t the conclusion of the ceremony, the combined firms of Brookfield C on-traction Co., Inc. and Baylor Construction Corp., both of New York, started >ork on the 600-foot-long and 84-foot-wide navigation lock in Putnam County, ihe lock is to be constructed on a “plug” of earth stretching about one quarter if a mile between two excavated sections of the barge canal.

Since President Johnson officially launched construction of the barge canal t a giant ceremony last February, a two-mile length of the barge canal has been ompleted from Stokes Landing in the St. Johns River, inland to the site of the irst lock. The lock contract, awarded recently by the Corps of Engineers, is the irgest single contract awarded so fa r on the $158 million canal stretching from acksonville to Yankeetown.

Contracts awarded on the barge canal total $10.3 million and several other ontracts are scheduled to be awarded early in 1965 for other phases of the p ro-moted waterway.

District Engineer Col. H. R. Parfitt on December 22 awarded a contract for 1,812,705 to Rubin Construction Co. of W est Palm Beach fo r excavating an dditional five miles o f canal on the western end of the barge canal.

T HOSE WORDS, taken from the A pril 1952 issue of “Seafarer,” were prophetic.

A t the time they were written, the docks and shipyards of Jack-sonville were strangely quiet. Gross revenues of the port for an entire year averaged no more than $15,000,000— and most of that was ac-counted for in the two shipyards. M onths went by with total cargoes shipped from the Port smaller than a single vessel m ay load today.

By 1965, the harbor has grown to become a strapping youth, full of muscle, straining to become a p art of the big world, and out-growing its facilities like a kid whose trousers never fit fo r very long.

W hat’s more, this youth has money in his jeans. F or in the m an-ner of the legend, he has gone hunting fo r chests of gold along the St. Johns River and has found them.

In the m onth of December 1964, the chest o f gold from the St. Johns River totalled $5,255,900 (based on actual disbursements through December 28.) This was new money paid out by steamship agents and owners at local cargo terminals and shipyards.

1,855,5001,460,000

275,500

$5,255,900

This income is “fresh” money to the com munity and is recircu-lated m any times as it flows into the lifestream of Jacksonville and Duval County. (The tables below indicated how it is used on the first stage of distribution.)

When projected over a full year, Decem ber’s business indicates an annual rate of about $63,000,000 of income directly at the docks and yards. This figure represents expenditures by vessels; it does not in-clude value of the cargoes shipped, inland transportation by truck and rail lines, inland warehousing, and m anufacturing activity located here solely because of the port.

The chest of gold discovered in December is only a token of what is to become com m onplace when the Jacksonville Port A uthority gets its long-range port development plant into full swing.

Inform ed shipping officials expect an accelerated growth pattern immediately following construction of new facilities.

As examples:Sea-Land Service centralized its Southeastern operations at Talley-

rand Docks and Terminals and is working now to acquire more space.On Novem ber 16, directors of the largest Swedish and British

steamship interests met in Liverpool and decided, after thorough con-sideration, to make Jacksonville the focal point of future services to the Southeastern United States.

Studies have been made by British and American interests on the need for 100,000-ton dry dock facilities in the South Atlantic-Carib- bean region. Such docks have five-times the capacity of those located here today. M any consider Jacksonville the logical site.

It is impossible to predict the future precisely, but it is bright. The Jacksonville Port A uthority seeks to make it even brighter.

THOSE notorious Southern ladies — Cleo, D ora and H ilda — have once

again proven that weather plays a dominant role in our everyday lives.

Like their predecessors . . . Carla . . . Donna . . . Esther . . . F lora . . . they ac-counted for many deaths and untold mil-lions of dollars in property damage, both in the Caribbean and the United States.

Future counterparts, with other feminine names, will no doubt be as severe. But their destructive results will be minimized by the reporting of unseen sentinels orbiting far above the Earth.

These are the meteorological satellites of NASA, with such odd names as Tiros and Nimbus. They are the forerunners of a global weather forecasting system that may eventually give m an control over the weather for the first time in history.

The potential of weather satellites was dramatized by President Johnson, when he was Vice President and chairm an of the National Aeronautics and Space Council, (currents of air blowing ^t speeds of 200

H e estimated the following cost savings, based on accurate predictions of weather only five days in advance:

• $2.5 billion a year to agriculture• $45 million a year to the lumber in-

dustry• $100 million a year to surface trans-

portation• $75 million a year to retail marketing• $4 billion a year in water resources

management

Although in the research and develop-m ent stage, meteorological satellites have perform ed far beyond the expectations of their builders.

Tiros I, launched from Cape Kennedy on April 1, 1960, m ade meteorological his-tory by giving meteorologists an unprece-dented opportunity to study the E arth’s cloud patterns. Photographs transm itted by the satellite’s two television cam eras showed large-scale cyclones with spiral bands some-times covering a thousand miles across. It

also indicated the presence of jet streams mph), regions of moist and dry air, thunder-storms, weather fronts and many types of cloud patterns.

On September 11, 1961, Tiros III demon-strated the trem endous potential of weather satellites in a striking m anner. On that day, observing 25 million square miles of the Earth, it spotted the suspicious cloud for-m ation later designated as H urricane Esther, and provided data on Hurricanes Betsy, Carla and Debbie and Typhoons Pamela and Nancy.

On a later day, Tiros III warned of the regeneration of the dangerous Typhoon Sally. In addition, it provided data on less spectacular weather phenom ena that proved valuable in forecasting for aviation, ship-ping and other activities.

In the case of H urricane Carla, Tiros III made possible the largest mass evacuation to ever take place in the United States. M ore than 350,000 people fled from the path of the storm, drastically reducing the death toll.

Photos of Sea IceTiros IV, launched February 8, 1962,

transmitted excellent photographs of sea ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and sur-rounding areas, resulting in immense savings to affected shipping interests.

In all, eight Tiros satellites have been launched — two are still transm itting — returning more than 200,000 usable cloud- cover photographs.

Tiros VIII has the distinction of being the first to test a special cam era called APT, for automatic picture transmission. Unlike the transmission system carried by its predecessors, which displayed each TV line on a screen and then photographed the screen, the A PT system in Tiros V III trans-. mits pictures by a process similar to that used to send radio photographs.

H ere’s how it works: A ground or ship- oorne A PT system commands the satellite :o take pictures of the area as it passes overhead. The satellite’s system is activated, he pictures are taken, and then transmitted n minutes to the station below. The pic- ures are produced on facsimile machines as hey are received, providing instant knowl- ;dge of weather conditions and cloud pat- erns in the area.

Ground StationsCost of a typical ground station equip-

nent for the A PT system, which consists iimply of a receiving antenna and amplifier, tn FM receiver and the facsimile recording ;quipment, is about $32,000, putting the :ystem in reach of nearly every country in he world.

The newest addition to the family of neteorological satellites — Nimbus — was aunched from the West Coast on August 18, 1964, and provided a m ore advanced •eporting system.

W here Tiros satellites were aimed use- essly ou t into space m uch of the time, Minibus forever 'focussed earthward -—- the ■esult of infrared controls, which utilized varmth radiated from the E arth to keep it jointed in the right direction. This alone jrovided four to five times m ore cloud :over photographs.

joles, instead of an equatorial orbit as Tiros lid, thus covering a new 1500-mile-wide iwath of the E arth every 100 minutes. Nim- j u s was able to photograph every square nile of the Earth twice a day; special in- ’rared radiometers took “pictures” of the lark surfaces.

The first pictures taken by Nimbus on he first day of its orbit were of H urricane 21eo, which caused extensive damage to Florida’s east coast. Since then, Nimbus lad photographed every m ajor storm that recurred on Earth, until a solar paddle iailure robbed it of its power on September >3.

Eventually, a system of meteorological satellites will provide data on weather con-ditions over the entire globe several times a day. Details of such a system have al-ready been ironed out by the W eather Bureau, NASA 'and the Defense D epart-ment.

A lthough the Defense D epartm ent is not funding any part of the program , it took part in developing system requirem ents and configuration specifications because it is the largest single user of weather inform a-tion.

Local Weather PhotosThe satellite system, a cartw heel con-

figuration, will be built in two versions by RCA. One version will have the A PT sys-tem payload, which will allow ground or ship-borne stations to receive up to three pictures of the local cloud cover instan-taneously. The other payload will contain advanced vidicon cam era systems, in which pictures will be stored fo r fu tu re transm is-sion. One satellite of each type will be in orbit at all times. NASA is also developing a single cam era system th a t will have the

characteristics of both A PT and storeable advanced vidicon systems.

The program is going ahead full steam, with Ireland being the 16th country to sign under the program , which will eventually result in a worldwide weather forecasting system.

U nder consideration by NASA is a data collection satellite that would glean data from remote m anned scientific outposts, ocean buoys, instrumented balloons and from radio transm itters on glaciers, icepacks and icebergs. As an example, instrumented buoys could be distributed over the ocean to gather data on sea and air temperatures, wave heights, currents, and other oceanic phenomena.

As the satellite passes overhead, it would receive and store inform ation from the buoys and at intervals transm it it to ground or ship retrieval stations.

The potential of weather satellites can only be guessed at now, but they may well provide us with the most useful and con-structive benefits to come out of the ex-ploration of space.

Over 400 Honor Bryant

Integrated Water Resource Program

Has Become Reality; Tempo Soaring

O R LA N D O

It was just ten years ago that D istrict Engi-neer Col. H. W. Schull, pointed out that

Florida’s W ater Resource Development pro-grams were getting nowhere because people from various sections of the state were at sixes and sevens over which project should obtain priority.

He urged that Florida follow the pattern of other states and get together on making requests to the Corps of Engineers and to Congress.

Specifically, Colonel Schull urged that an integrated waterway system be planned for the entire State of Florida and that this work be coordinated with other w ater re-source development programs such as the Central and Southern Florida Flood Con-trol project and any new programs which might be developed.

His suggestions were published in an arti-cle in the August 1954 SEA FARER and quickly took root and bore fruit.

On November 10, more than 400 persons from throughout the State of Florida gather-ed here in Orlando at a banquet of the F lor-ida Waterways Association. It was the larg-est group ever assembled for a waterways function in the State of Florida and ren-dered am ple evidence that Colonel Schull’s recommendations had been followed.

Specifically, the banquet was to honor retiring Governor Farris Bryant through whose leadership the integrated waterway program has been turned into a G overn-mental reality.

It has been during G overnor Bryant’s ad-ministration that the F lorida Board of Con-servation has been strengthened under the leadership of Director Randolph Hodges and every water resource project within the State of Florida is coordinated at Tallahas-see before being taken to Congress for au-thorization and appropriations.

Governor Bryant has been the first Gov-ernor of F lorida to personally appear and make the presentation on behalf of all F lo r-ida water resource appropriations at W ash-ington. He has done this annually and with enthusiasm.

Colonel Herbert C. Gee of W est Palm Beach, President o f the W aterways Associ-ation presided at the testimonial banquet but Congressman Billy Matthews of G aines-ville was given the assignment both to en-tertain the audience and to detail the in-crease in appropriations which F lorida has obtained for its water resource programs during the Bryant Administration.

M atthews noted that Federal expenditures for rivers, harbor and flood control projects in Florida stood at $17,325,000 in 1961

Seen in this group are E. E. Keller of Luckenbach Terminals in Tampa, Harold Scott of Reynolds, smith & Hills, David A. Howard of the “ Seafarer” and Robert Thomas, president of Tampa’s Port Sutton.

Governor Bryant has utilized the Florida Board of Conservation to unify his water re-source program. Director Randolph Hodges (seated) and Col. H. J. Kelly, director of the waterways division, have carried out the pro-gram.

Governor Bryant (top right, above) was pho-to graphed with Robert Duffy of Tampa Port Authority. Lower photo shows Richard Mer-ritt of John A. Merritt & Company, Pensacola, and William O. Savage of A. R. Savage and Sons, Tampa.

L. Mechling, founder of Mechling Barge Lines, was an interested participant in the ceremonies.

vhen Bryant assumed office and have al- nost doubled during the four years:

idministration, the Cross Florida Barge Hanal has moved into the construction itage and President Lyndon Johnson par- icipated in the ground-breaking ceremonies ast February 27.

Matthews listed other waterway accom-plishments including a Corps of Engineers study of the G ulf Intracoastal W aterway tonnecting St. M arks and Tam pa Bay, and the soon-to-be-completed W est Coast In- and W aterway from Tam pa Bay to F ort Vlyers and Atlantic Intracoastal W aterway ;rom Jacksonville to Miami.

The Canal Authority of Florida held its nonthly meeting in Orlando immediately prior to the Waterway Association meeting. V illiain A . M c C re e , Orlando contractor is thairman of the Authority.
