Admiral Land Awarded

Navy League Citation

The Navy League's Robert M.

Thompson Award for outstanding civilian leadership was presented to Vice Adm. Emory Scott Land,

USN (ret.), on May 21.

The 91-year-old admiral, who launched 5,600 merchant ships while chairman of the Federal Mari- time Commission in World War

II and was war shipping admini- strator, is sti 1 active as a special consultant for General Dynamics.

Admiral Land was among 12 re- cipients of various awards at the

League's annual meeting, held this year in Memphis, Tenn. The award honored him as "an outstanding citizen who has always been ef- fectively mindful of sea power's importance to our country's de- fense." The citation declared: "Over a prolonged period, from his entrance as a midshipman to the United States Naval Academy in 1898, throughout an active and distinguished naval career, and sub- sequently in other government ser- vice and private life, he has served the United States Navy, maritime and aviation interests of the nation as a naval officer, selfless public servant and recognized business man."

Though the major portion of

Admiral Land's naval career was devoted to naval construction, he also served as assistant chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics of the

Navy from 1926 to 1928. In October 1933, Admiral Land was assigned as chief constructor of the Navy and chief of the Bureau of Con- struction and Repair.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Admiral Land to the

United States Maritime Commis- sion in 1937, and until 1946 he served as chairman for all but one year. He later became president of the Air Transport Association of

America.

For good reasons: time and money.

We save you time and you make money.

We save many operators of bulk carriers over $1,500 in time when they bunker at Antigua.

Antigua's strategic location adjacent to several major shipping lanes means you bunker en route and avoid costly diversion.

Because Antigua lies further north in seasonal tropical waters than certain other Caribbean bunkering ports, less fuel is required at your loading port. Thus, it is possible to load heavier cargoes—making your trip more profitable. There are no draft problems at Antigua—any size ship can bunker.

Products are supplied by barge, at our "Sea Island" product pier, or at an offshore submarine pipeline in deep, calm and sheltered water.

Port charges are very low, usually less than $130, including agency fee.
