Within a year nothing will be ieft of the Government's “‘wooden armada.” | the greatest fleet that ever hoisted a flag or struck a blow in its country’s defense. Sixty-five of the vessels, ghostly rem- nants of & mighty war-time gesture, are tied up in the Potomac River, waiting | to be dismantled, burned and sent to the bottom of Mallows Bay, near Quan- tico, Va. They are the property of the Western Marine & Salvage Co., which already has scrapped 158 cargo carriers for their equipment, iron and salable timber. It is the fortune of war. Had the conflict continued these craft would have braved the enemy on the high seas, carrying cargo as a_part of the United States Shipping Board’s pro- posed emergency fleet of 1,017 ships.
