Class correction
Sorry to be nit picking but, in the interest of accuracy, I feel should point a misnomer in last month’s Sterling Work restoration feature. The ships featured (i.e., the heading picture of American Shipper, and American Scout, as modelled) were not USA-built Liberty class ships but rather two of seven C2-S-AJ5 class constructed by North Carolina Shpbldg.
