Maclean (left), receives the 'Maritime Man of the Year' award from last year's winner, Ted Kedzierski. Walter M. Maclean, professor of naval engi-neering at Webb Institute of Naval Architec-ture, Glen Cove, N.Y., has been honored as 'Maritime Man of the Year' by the United States Merchant Marine Academy Alumni Association. The presentation by Ted Ked-zierski, naval engineer and last year's winner, was made at a breakfast in the Hotel Berkshire during the recent New York annual meeting of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. The annual award, "for outstanding achieve-ment in the field of marine engineering," recognizes Mr. Maclean's professional achieve-ments since his graduation from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point in 1945. After a decade at sea as an engineering officer, largely in the employ of American President Lines, he served for four years as a draftsman, engineer, and naval architect with a consulting firm and six years at the Univer-sity of California as a resident naval architect before joining Webb Institute in 1965 as professor of engineering. He holds the degrees of B.S. in mechanical engineering, master of engineering, and doctor of engineering in naval architecture, belongs to numerous pro-fessional societies, and is the author of a paper "On Cushioning of Water Impact by En-trapped Air." The award consists of an engraved desk set, inscription of Mr. Maclean's name on a permanent bronze plaque, and presentation to the Kings Point Engineering Department of a fund of $1,500, contributed by the follow-ing sponsoring companies: Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. of New York, Kings Point Machinery Co. of San Francisco, Isaacson Corp. of Seattle, Gate Construction Co. of Little Ferry, N.J., Leslie Co. of Parsipanny, N.J., and White Packing Co. of Jersey City. Robert Vevoda of the Kings Point class of 1945, chaired the breakfast, which was ad-dressed by D. D. Strohmeier, vice-president, Bethlehem Steel Co., and Rear Adm. Gordon McLintock, USMS, Academy superintendent. British Shipbuilding Federation Elects Huskisson Chairman Robert A.
