DEPARTMENT OF COM
MERGE AND LABOR
Bureau of Navigation. Washington.
January 15, 1912.
Collector Of Customs, Portland.
Oregon.
Sir: This Office has received your
report of the 9th instant relative
to the steam schooner Minnie E.
Kelton," which while at sea sprung
a leak and became waterlogged
about two and one half years ago.
1t appears that she was towed into
Astoria and abandoned to the under
writer's, who sold her to private per-
sons, who took out the machinery
and used the hull as barge. Mr..
Joseph S. Gill purposes to take the
old hull and put in new machinery
at an expense Of $4,000 to $40, 900.
He desires that she bear new name
and that she. be taken up" by you
as new vessel. Your report shows
that the hullais in good sound con-
dition and could be passed by the In
spector of Hulls."
You are advised that in view of the
facts the Bureau will consider an
application for changing her name.
The facts however, do not seem to
warrant action as if she were new.
Her name appears in the official list
of ner chant vessels of the United
States, 1904.
Respectfully,
E. T. Chamberlain,
Commissioner.
