Numerous citizens living south

PUT MONSTER
into SEA SHAPE
Gigantic Steamship George
Washington as 1t Appear
ed in Boston Drydock
SERVED ONCE AS
PRESIDENTS YACHT

One OF the interesting nautical
operations which waterfront Boston
had the privilege Of witnessing was
the drydocking in the largest dry
dock of the world of the second larg-
est of the monster passenger carriers
which the United States Government
took over from their German owners
during the war. says the Boston Her
aid.
The steamship George Washington
was the ship in question. and it was
ushered into the former Common
wealth drydock at South Boston, now
a Boston Navy Yard drydock. beside
the army base at $50 A. NJ. Monday.
July 25.
The George Washington is being
converted from the United States
army transport service into a trans
Atlantic liner by Tietjen & Lang, a
New York ship repair concern.
About $50 men worked on the
cleaning and painting work on the
bottom Of the big craft. The wire
brush, steel scrapers and hose were
piled industriously and the outer
skin was cleaned Of barnacles and
all marine growths and scales Of rust
before the reiuvenating and preserv-
ing paint was applied. The condi-
tion Of the ship was not as bad as il
might have been, as she was docked
and gone over at the drydock at the
Boston Navy Yard in the spring of
1920. The workmen splashing about
on the bottom of the dock seemed.
when viewed from the wharf, like
men on the street seen from the top
Of an ordinary tall building, while
the steamship itself loomed like a
fair-sized city block.
The celebrity with which the gigan-
tic dock was emptied was one of the
noteworthy features Of the opera
ton. Three electrically driven
pumps. capable Of discharging be-
tween them some 100000 gallons OF
water a minute, began rotating as
soon as the great caisson swung in
TO position behind the stern of the
great carrier, and within an hour
the dock was emptied sufficiently SO
that the workmen could get at the
ships underbody.
Particular attention was paid tc
the sea connections There are up
ward Of 100 openings in the stee
skin OF the monster. and these and
their fittings were inspected with tn,
most meticulous care. and every par
that did not bear the closet scrutiny
was renewed. The propeller ais,
