Major Work On 'Wavertree'

Performed By Bethlehem Yard

Major steps to reconstruct the nearly century-old sailing ship Wavertree (shown above) to her original design were accom- plished at Bethlehem Steel Corporation's

Hoboken, N.J., shipyard recently.

Owned by the South Street Seaport Mu- seum, the Wavertree will have 110 feet of her upper deck, from frame 36 through frame 91, restored to its original configu- ration. Wrought iron was used to construct the Wavertree when she was built in 1885 by Oswald, Mordaunt & Co. in Southamp- ton, England; modern steel will be used in the reconstruction. The vessel was origi- nally built as Southgate, but was given the name Wavertree when Leyland Brothers, one of the great Liverpool shipping estab- lishments, bought her and renamed her for a suburban village.

Richard E. Blackinton, general manager of the Hoboken yard, said: "Bethlehem Steel is proud to play an integral part in the re- construction of this historic ship. As long as there is commerce between nations, much of the traffic will move by ship. The Waver- tree recalls earlier days of commerce when mariners and their sailing ships battled wind and sea to deliver their cargoes."
