LUXURY LINERS
UNITED STATES WILL BID FOR SOUTH SEA TRADE MATSON’S NEW VESSELS SAN FRANCISCO, Friday. Three great liners, instead of the two originally proposed, will comprise the new fleet of the Matson Navigation Company in the South Seas run from San Francisco. The company confirms reports that the Bethlehem Steel Corporation will build three passenger and freight liners, each to cost £1,700,000, for this service. Two ships are already being built. The third will be 672 feet long and lavishly appointed. This will be the first bid in an attempt to divert traffic from Australia and the South Sea Islands from Vancouver to San Francisco.
