National Maritime

Historical Society

Elects Admiral Will

Adm. John M. Will, USN (ret.), chairman of Arthur Tickle Engi- neering Works in Brooklyn, N.Y., has been elected chairman of the

National Maritime Historical So- ciety. He succeeds Rear Adm.

Walter F. Schlech Jr., USN (ret.), of Annapolis, Md., who served the

National Society as chairman for a five-year term beginning in 1973.

The National Maritime Histori- cal Society is sponsor of the Ship

Trust, which unites the interests of sea training, nautical archeol- ogy, historic ships, and maritime museums. Under the Ship Trust program, the Society recently brought back to the United States the remains of two sailing ships of a hitherto extinct type—the

American Down Easter. A sec- tion of the St. Mary has been re- turned to the Maine State Mu- seum in Augusta, capital of her native state, and parts of the

Kaiulani have been brought back to San Francisco, Calif., her home port throughout her sailing life.

The Ship Trust is also concerned with the preservation on the East and West Coasts of Liberty ships built during World War II as "ugly ducklings" of the merchant marine, the return of the immi- grant sailing schooner Ernestina/

Morrissey to Massachusetts, and other projects across the United

States.

Adm. John M. Will

Admiral Will commanded a sub- marine squadron in the Pacific in

World War II and subsequently served as Commander, Amphibi- ous Forces in the Far East. This was followed by duty as Com- mander of the Military Sea Trans- portation Service. In 1959, he re- tired from the Navy to become president and subsequently chair- man and president of American

Export Lines. He has served as president of the New York Ship- ping Association, and as director or trustee of a number of mari- time institutions, including the

New York State Maritime College.

He was the founding president of the New York State Maritime Mu- seum, and has served since 1976 as advisor to the National Mari- time Historical Society, and chair- man of its Maritime Industry

Committee.
