Admiral Burd, Mrs. Burd and their
daughter, Mrs. Ethel B. Luck, plan to
spend the summer in Belfast and North
says:
''Rear Admiral George E. Burd for the
last 10 years industrial manager of the
Brooklyn navy yard, was officially re
tired from active service April 28th, when
he reached his Oath birthday. Before his
assignment to Brooklyn, he was attached
for three years to the Boston navy yarc
and has WIDE acquaintance in this city
He gained distinction during the war by
planning the repair of the interned Ger
man liners damaged by their crews before
their seizure by the government. In spite
of the dissenting opinion of prominent
naval authorities, he insisted that these
steamships could be repaired by an cleo.
trio welding process. By applying this
idea, he got the vessels in shape to trans
port American troops a year in advance
of the time it was calculated they would
be ready. During the war $50 vessels of
all classes were sent to his district for
overhauling. Admiral Burd was born in
Belfast, Me-, and was graduated from the
United States Naval Academy in 1878.
During his course at Annapolis he spec
ialized in steam engineering. His wife
was Boston girl, Miss Frances A. Good
win. He was stationed in Boston from
1907 to 1910 and served at practically all
of the navy yards in the country during
his long period of service He plans to
make his home on the Pacific coast, prob
ably in Seattle"
