David Parrot To Head

New Aldenships Division

Of John G. Alden Firm

For the past several years,

John G. Alden of Florida has been increasing its sales activity in the offshore tug and barge market. The increases have been primarily due to the knowledge and efforts of David Parrot, a 14- year veteran of the Alden orga- nization. Alden was founded in 1909 by John G. Alden, Boston naval architect and builder.

To handle the increased vol- ume, Alden of Florida president

Frank Atlass has formed a sep- arate Aldenships division, with

Mr. Parrot as vice president and general manager. Joining Mr.

Parrot will be Henry Reynolds Jr., most recently with Eller & Co. Mr.

Reynold's experience fits well with the primary thrust of Alden- ships business, which is foreign we have the big stick. 38D8-1/8 series opposed piston engines can deliver 700 to 4,200 horsepower. No one else comes even close.

So the next time you see a marine diesel manufacturer waving flags and shouting about superiority, don't be fooled.

They have to talk loudly... they don't have the Pielstick. We do.
