Division Of Jacksonville Shipyards Sold To Detyens Shipyards W. R.

Mr. Lovett, who is president of Jacksonville Shipyards, Inc., in Jacksonville, said "We dis-posed of our Charleston yard for the purpose of concentrating our efforts in Jacksonville and continuing to build here in Jacksonville what we consider to be the finest ship-repair facility in the United States."

One section of a sectional dry dock, and por-tions of the inventory maintained at Charles-ton, were owned by the Jacksonville companies. In announcing the March 31 sale, Mr. Lovett stated that "all of our interests," including the underlying ground lease, the dry dock section and the inventory items were sold to Detyens.
