    PO RT EVERGLADESOcean engineering, a technical branch

    of oceanography, is coming to Port Everglades.

    Hydrospace Research Corporation of Rockville, M aryland, a wholly-owned subsidiary of E. G. & G. has announced the lease of a 4-Vi acre tract at the intersection of the Intracoastal and Whiskey Creek, for construction of a $500,000 plant to house operations which involve, in part, testing and evaluating of advanced systems fo r the U. S. Navy.

    Construction will start soon after the first of the year, according to Dr. L. Folger Whicker, Chairm an of the Executive Committee of H ydro-space. Facilities will include a 20,000 sq. ft. m ain structure containing offices and laboratories and com puter systems for use by engineers, scientists and technicians.

    A second building and docks will be built for ship support. Hydrospace expects to bring its two 296-ton research vessels into the Port soon, Dr. W hicker said. The two ships have been berthed temporarily at Dodge Island, Miami, but have been w ithout the supporting research facilities planned for the Port Everglades installation.

    Decision to headquarter at Port Everglades was made after a two- year study of several locations.

    “We chose the central Gold Coast because of the opportunity to operate year ’round. Y our po rt facilities are the deepest in Florida. M aintenance and servicing of the ships will present few problems. And, last but not least, when we mention F ort Lauderdale, we have no trouble getting engineers,” Dr. W hicker added.

    The Broward Industrial Board, head-ed by John C. Dabney, has acted as coordinator between principals of Hydrospace and the P ort Everglades Authority. Negotiations have been car-ried on between the Industrial Board and the company since the Board first contacted Hydrospace executives in 1967. “The Broward Industrial Board has been of inestimable help to us in reaching our decision,” D r. W hicker said.

    A t a final hearing before the Port Everglades Authority, Dr. W hicker ex-pressed his appreciation to Chairm an Jack Clark, and to Michael K. Tewks-bury, P ort M anager, who were in-strumental in making arrangements.

    W hen completed in mid-1970, the

    Hydrospace complex will employ about 65 people, including 30 involved with operation of the ships, and another 35 on-shore personnel.

    E. G. & G ., the parent company, is a $200 million firm in the field of nucleonics listed on the New Y ork Stock Exchange. It employs about10.000 people, W hicker said.

    Howard Baron Heads Tampa Trade Council

    TA M PAHoward N . Baron, export m anager

    of Florida Seald-Sweet Sales, Inc. (For-merly F lorida Citrus Exchange), was installed Decem ber 3 as new president of the Pan A m erican Commission and W orld T rade Council.

    W. Thomas Rice, president (now chairm an) of Seaboard Coast Line Rail-road, was principal speaker at the Com -mission’s installation meeting. He urged port developers to provide facilities for handling containerized freight.

    “The movem ent to containerization is catching fire and has a trem endous fu ture,” Rice said.

    He told his Tam pa audience the railroad would continue to develop P ort Tam pa as an industrial complex after closing down the old Coast Line phos-phate elevator there early in 1970. H e said the railroad hopes to develop Seddon Island, where the old Seaboard phosphate elevator is located, in a m an-ner which will be desirable for the city and profitable to the railroad.

    “We have great confidence in this area’s growth potential,” Rice said. “As you know, we own a lot o f land in this area and we believe it is about to come into its own.”

    “Tam pa is the greatest area for development in the whole Southeast,” he told his audience.

    M IA M IA billion-dollar share of the Carib-

    bean export m arket will be pursued by a group of Florida businessmen during a nine-day floating trade fair in late January sponsored by the F lor-ida D epartm ent of Commerce and Nor- wegian-Caribbcan Lines.

    Some 35 businessmen are expected to participate in the second Florida- Caribbean Trade Fair on board the 11,000-gross-ton M /S Sunward to tap four island economies with an import m arket estimated at between a billion and a billion and a half by the sponsor-ing Florida agency.

    Calls will be made in Haiti, Aruba, Curacao and Jam aica after departure of Sunward from Miami January 22.

    Richard Welsh, in charge of the D e-partm ent’s International Bureau in Miami, said im port interests in the islands are being alerted and are ex-pected to turn out in substantial num -bers.

    An entire deck of Sunward has been made available for the exhibits, to be viewed by island businessmen in each port of call.

    Welsh term ed the first floating trade

    fair, held earlier this year on the cargo ship M /V Sea H awk, “highly rated by the participants who as a group reported very satisfactory export sales resulting from the trip.

    “T hat was on board a much, much smaller ship without the excellent public facilities we have for this January.

    More Fairs Planned “ If the nine-day January trade fair

    goes as well as we expect,” Welsh said, “then we plan to offer this type of business prospecting venture into the Caribbean at least once every year, and we will consider reaching out into additional m arkets as well with the same type of program .”

    Sunward also will carry a full load of passengers on the cruise, a departure from her normal operating schedule for 1970 which regularly will see her in seven-day San Ju an /S t. Thomas cruises from Miami, explained Ted Arison, President of Arison Shipping Co., N CL M anaging Agent.

    Arison and N C L are heavily en-gaged in maritime operations from the New Port of Miami.

    On the passenger side, N CL has M /S Starward in year-round M iami-Jamaica

  • From Japan Fascell Believes U. S. Under-rates

    Blue Sea Line Makes Miami First Port-of-Call in U. S.

    M IA M I

    Blue Sea Line is inaugurating direct steamship service between Japan and Miami, making Miami its first port of call in the United States after a twenty- five day passage from Yokohama.

    The new service was announced by John Hardy, President of E. H. M undy and Com pany (America) Ltd., which has been appointed agents for the Blue Sea Service at Miami.

    The fortnightly service provides South Florida with its third break-bulk freight-er service direct from Japan on a regularly scheduled basis. Additional container and break-bulk services are also available to the growing Japanese im port trade based here.

    The same Blue Sea Line ships will call later at Jacksonville in their usual rotation. M uch of the cargo going to Jacksonville has been heavy steel which is stowed deep in the ship and cannot be discharged until the lighter cargoes have been handled. M uch of the m er-chandise im ported at Miami is high value consumer goods, including elec-tronic devices, radios, toys, etc.

    The first ship in the Blue Sea Line service to M iami will be the M /S M. C. Ertel due to sail from Y okoham a Janu-ary 14 and arrive in Miami February10. The next vessel will be the slower M /S Ulysses departing Y okoham a January 23 and arriving at Miami February 28, followed by the M /S M andalay sailing from Yokoham a F eb -ruary 14 and arriving here M arch 10.

    “Blue Sea Line is a conference carrier and is renowned for its efficient service and com petent cargo handling,” H ardy said. “It is a joint service of two of the world’s leading liner ship-owners, Blue Funnel Line of Liverpool, England, and Swedish East Asia Com pany of Gothen- berg, Sweden.”

    Following departure from Miami, the Blue Sea ships will proceed to other U. S. Ports and then load outbound to Durban, South Africa; Singapore, Port

    Swettenham, Penang, and D jakarta. M iami cargo will be accepted fo r those ports and other carrier ports in Suma-tra, Java, and Borneo upon inducement.

    H ardy noted that the service to Durban, South Africa, will provide South F lorida exporters w ith a regular link to South A frica and Southeast Asia.

    H arrington and Com pany, Inc., has been appointed stevedore for Blue Sea Line at Miami. Cargo will be handled through the H arrington and Com pany warehouse on Dodge Island.

    Miami-London Air Service Delayed By London Labor

    M IA M IN ational Airlines postponed its plan-

    ned start o f direct a ir service between Miami and London on January 1 due to labor problem s in England.

    National President L. B. Maytag said the British labor unions involved would not perm it any of their members to service National planes at London and threatened to strike any other airline which might assist National there.

    N ational hopes to commence its serv-ice by February.

    Shore-Based Calico Scallop Plant Goes To Port Canaveral

    PO R T CANAVERALCanaveral Calico Corp. has begun

    construction of a land-based scallop processing p lant within P ort Canaveral and hopes to attract a fleet o f 40 to 50 converted shrimp trawlers which will drag for scallops along the Florida East Coast southw ard from St. Augus-tine.

    The com pany was organized by two Kansas City businessmen, Ken Hall and Sam H oft, in consort w ith Dr. Larry M cKinley, a K odiak, A laska dentist and consultant on hospital con-struction.

    Hill said the firm expects to employ from 12 to 20 persons ashore and produce up to 100,000 pounds of scallop m eat weekly.

    Latin RevolutionW ASHINGTON

    N orth Americans have “seriously under-estim ated the im pact and con-sequences of the revolution which is, indeed, sweeping through Latin A m eri-ca,” according to Miami Congressman Dante B. Fascell.

    Fascell, chairm an of the In ter-Ameri-can Affairs subcommittee of the House and delegate to the U nited Nations, m ade his rem arks before the annual meeting of the Council fo r Latin Am eri-ca, a private organization headed by David Rockefeller and composed of representatives of some 100 largest Am erican companies with investments South of Miami.

    * Growing diversity* Changing political climate* N ew elites’ Potentially disruptive character o f

    neglected masses.These forces will have a “profound

    im pact” on U. S. firms operating South of M iam i and will result in Latin Am eri-ca’s growing independence on the in-ternational scene, aggresive nationalism and anti-U. S. policies by the new leaders.

    Fascell said the situation will worsen in the near future, but that it is not hopeless.

    Am erican business, he proposed, should and must w ork together in developing “a viable strategy of ad-justm ent to change” in Latin America, and begin to com municate with “the new elites, the new intellectuals, the young clergy, the technocrats, and the new m ilitary.”

    Fascell also recom m ended tha t the private business sector do a better job in cooperating w ith the Congress in shaping policies and program s that will prom ote “peaceful, constructive partner-ships for development between the United States and the countries of Latin A m erica.”

    Ending on a hopeful note, the Florida Congressman said that he is convinced that there is “a great future for Latin America, fo r Am erican investment in that continent, and for continued good relations between the U nited States and the Latin Republic.

    Port Everglades Nears10-Million Ton M ark Only 10 Years Ago

    Cruise Traffic Builds to Peak; 1st Liner Called at Port

    PO R T EVERGLADESThe largest single-year increase in

    waterborne com merce and the second largest increase in cruise passengers in this decade became a m atter o f record at P ort Everglades in the year just ended.

    Both represented all-time highs for the busy harbor, according to P ort Chairman Jack Clark, A lthough official figures for December won’t be tabulated until mid-January, 11-m onth totals far exceeded perform ances in 1968, the previous record year for the Port.

    W aterborne commerce, o r cargo, soared well above the 9-million ton mark for the first tim e in the 42-year history of the seaport.

    6

    Through November, tonnage was up 985,451 tons to 8,817,217 tons, Clark pointed out. W ith norm al cargo ton-nage in Decem ber expected to produce700,000 tons, the P ort will have han-dled 9.5 million tons in the 12-month period ending Decem ber 31.

    Although w aterborne com merce has been in a strong upw ard trend fo r the past 10 years, no other single year comes close to ’69 with respect to the actual o r the percentage increase. The gain of one million tons, which is the equivalent o f a 12.5 per cent increase, surpassed all projections, C lark de-clared.

    Gross and net revenues at the harbor will also be at record levels.

    Gross port revenues which were $2.9 million through N ovem ber 30 are ex-pected to wind up around $3.2 million for an increase of more than one-half million dollars over 1968.

    $ 2-Million Net A corresponding gain in net revenues

    is assured, rising from $1.5 million to about $2.1 million.

    The cruise picture was particularly bright in the past year, as passengers came streaming through the harbor as never before.

    N um ber of em barkations, debarka-tions and in-transits were up a healthy 15 per cent, topping the all-time high of 122,183 by some 20,000 passengers.

    Two significant developments oc-

    F L O R I D A J O U R N A L O F C O M M E R C E J A N U A R Y 1 9 7 0

  • curred during the course of the year, Clark said, and their full im pact will be reflected even more favorably in the new year.

    Ro-Ro ServicesThe first development of m ajor im -

    portance was that of obtaining a roll-on, roll-off service. This came about when W allenius-Caribbean Lines moved its entire operation to the port, vacating two other East Coast harbors, and commenced trailership service to P an-am a and the Dutch W est Indies.

    “This represented a m ajor break-through and puts us into an entirely new area of cargo operations,” Clark said. “It served to link the port with the Caribbean and Latin Am erica but more than that it placed us on a com -petitive basis with other F lorida East Coast ports.”

    Before the curtain was drawn on the past year, a second roll on-roll off cargo service, this one offering a fast, direct service to four countries in Central America, set up operations here. Small ships which in the past had bypassed the harbor began to move in, offering delivery to such diverse points as the Virgin Islands, and to east coast ports of South America. A nother welcome addition was m onthly service by G race Line cargo-passenger ships to the west coast of South America, complementing the same com pany's 11-year-record of continuous service to Caribbean ports as well as to Venezuela.

    TransshippingAlmost overnight, P ort Everglades

    became identified with com merce to the Caribbean, W est Indies, Central and South America. By October, advertise-ments were appearing in European pub-lications publicizing— for the first time — the harbor’s burgeoning role as a transshipment center.

    Year-Around CruisesThe other m ajor development in

    1969 was in the area of cruise activity as Eastern Steamship Lines announced that the luxury liner A riadne intended to operate from Port Everglades the year around.

    This was a second turning point, a break-through as notable in passenger operations as roll-on, roll-off cargo was in the category of cargo operations for the port.

    A lthough the num ber of cruise ships and w inter sailings at the Hollywood- F ort Lauderdale harbor increased stead-ily over the years, the harbor was un-able to retain a single ship for the sum-mer and fall months.

    Early in December, Eastern Steam-ship said the A riadne would not pull out at the end of its w inter schedule but would rem ain as the harbor’s “first” year-around ship.

    All in all, m ore than 35 ocean liners will be at the po rt this w inter and spring, sailing to just about anywhere and everywhere— the Bahamas, C arib-bean, W est Indies, South America, Europe, west coast, F ar East and around-the-world. In addition, cruises and voyages will average out to one-a-

    The Cities Service Miami, operated by Cities Service T anker Corp., operates principally between Lake Charles, La., and P ort Everglades in the clean oil trade.

    The vessel came to the port for a full discharge. H onored at the ceremony was Capt. H . W. Stevens of Jackson-ville, m aster of the ship, who received a bronze key of the port and engraved pen-pencil set from P ort C hairm an Jack Clark. John C. Gorman, president of

    Only 10 Years AgoP ort Commissioners are hopeful that

    the A riadne will do the same job in the sum m er that the Ocean M onarch did 10 years ago on w inter sailings. The Furness Line ship, long since sold, came here in January, 1959 as the first ocean liner to offer cruises from P ort Everglades. The venture was so successful that by the following season, three other ships moved in to share in the bonanza. T hat opened the flood gates, established P ort Everglades as a winter cruise center and by 1961 the influx of luxury liners read like a page from “W ho’s who” in the steamship world.

    P ort Everglades Term inal Company, ship agent and Michael K. Tewksbury, port manager, participated in the cere-mony.

    The “SS Cities Service M iami” oper-ates principally between the Com pany’s Lake Charles, Louisiana, refinery and the P ort Everglades terminal, bring-ing “C IT G O ” brand gasoline and fuel oils to consum er m arkets in Florida and the Southeast as well as jet fuels for the airlines industry.

    Built a t the Bethlehem Steel Com-pany yards in Sparrows Point, M ary-land, the vessel is one of 14 ocean-going tankers, ranging in size up to70,000 tons, operated by the Cities Service Com pany subsidiary to help supply the nation’s and the world’s energy requirem ents.

  • Miami Group Works To Build

    International Trade Center

    Admiral Stephens Elected First President of Group W ith

    60 Charter Members

    M IA M IRear Adm. I. J. Stephens, director of

    the port of Miami, is president of M iami’s Board of International Trade organized by a group of 60 businessmen with the hope of establishing an In ter-national Trade Center here.

    The Board was organized to assume the leadership in the development of the international commerce, tourism, finance, and investment activities in Miami. It will provide services and facilities to develop leads in internation-al trade and provide a forum and meet-ing place for international businessmen visiting Florida.

    The Board announced it will “use its best efforts to educate the public and our public officials upon the funda-mental fact that greater M iami is es-sentially a trade center, a workshop and a shipper; an im porter and processor of goods as well as a genial host to people; a seaport as well as an airport of the first magnitude, a purveyor of services; technical, professional, medical, educational.

    “The Board of International Trade proposes to establish a working com -mercial library; a language bank; a research facility on all aspects of inter-

    national commerce, and to provide and disseminate m aterial of interest to its members, our schools and colleges, and our community.

    “One of the Board’s m ajor goals will be the establishment of an International Trade Center to bring together under one roof the best o f our merchandise, our services, and our facilities, and display the goods and raw m aterials of the world to our m anufacturers, im-porters, and processors. If N ew Y ork can invest $800 million dollars in a W orld Trade Center, and New Orleans $200 million; if Mobile, Seattle, Boston, and Oakland find it profitable to operate international trade centers for the bene-fit of their foreign trade and their m anufacturers, isn’t it about time G reater Miami woke up?”

  • Freeport Harbor Celebrates Decade As Port for Deep-Water Cargo Ships

    F R E E PO R T , BAHAMASThe tenth anniversary of the open-

    ing of Freeport H arbor to deep-draft, ocean-going vessels was marked N o-vember 22, with the dedication of a m onum ent near the harbor entrance. Some 150 persons attended the cere-mony.

    Mrs. Wallace Groves, wife of the founder o f Freeport, unveiled a bronze plaque com mem orating the creation of F reeport and its harbor and the arrival of the first ocean-going, deep-draft ship.

    Taking p art in the ceremonies were her husband, now chairm an of The G rand Baham a P ort A uthority Ltd., local officials of the government of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and Port A uthority officials from South Florida.

    Capt. R. N . Tyminski, port director, reported on the first 10 years of harbor operation, concluding, “Now as we enter the second decade, we look for-ward to a bright future, perhaps even greater expansion and the continued progress and prosperity o f this area.”

    Robert F. Ball, vice president of the P ort Authority, was m aster o f cere-

    monies.Among the special guests at the

    luncheon aboard the M /V Freeport I preceding the dedication were Rear Adm. Irvin J. Stephens, port director of the Port of Miami; Michael Tewksbury, port m anager of P ort Everglades, and Janies E. Jaudon, port director of the P ort of Palm Beach.

    The growth and development of F ree-port H arbor have gone hand-in-hand with the growth and development of the City of F reeport and its industrial, residential and tourist facilities.

    From the time Wallace Groves con-ceived the idea of Freeport and the development of G rand Baham a Island, the harbor was the key to the plan, for G rand Baham a had no deepwater anchorage for ocean-going ships.

    Groves said he knew a deepwater harbor could be created if the know how and the capital resources could be com -mitted to it. He knew that if a deep- w ater harbor were constructed, “there would be almost no lim it to the de-velopment potential of G rand Baham a Island in general and the 233.7-square- mile Freeport area in particular.”

    D redging started in 1956, and by 1963 construction equipm ent and build-ing m aterials were entering the new po rt in volume.

    In 1963, for example, a total o f 875 vessels called at F reeport H arbor. The cargo “throughput” for tha t year was a modest 117,400 tons. Between 1963 and 1966, when the requirem ents for high-volume incoming m aterials had become less critical, there was a steady increase in the num ber of ships and cargo handling.

    Between 1966 and the end of 1968 with the use of F reeport’s own pas- senger-and-cargo vessel, the M /V Free-port and other large ships, the actual num ber of vessels diminished some-w hat while “throughput” continued at anticipated volume. The figures are as follows:

    Blasting through 30-foot depths of coral limestone, a new harbor was created a stage at a time. By the end of 1968 an area of approxim ately 100 acres had been provided with the fol-lowing features.

    The fifth stage of harbor expansion was begun in 1967 and is now substan-tially completed. The w ork called for the excavation of an area 420 x 1,800 feet to a depth of 30 feet below mean low water.

    Freeport H arbor is not yet deep enough fo r the largest cruise ships of the Bahamas-Caribbean service, but its passenger-tendering facilities and the as-surance of safe anchorage just outside the entrance channel have attracted an increasing visitor traffic on the princi-pal cruise lines out of the east coasts of N orth and South America.

    Planning the harbor, T he G rand Baham a Port Authority, included the construction of F reeport’s own pas- senger-and-cargo line. The 14,000-ton M /V Freeport, designed by D anish naval architects and built in W est Germany, went into service in late 1968. I t makes five roundtrips each week be-tween F reeport and Miami, Florida, a little m ore than 110 miles to the southwest.

    The M /V Freeport is a 441-foot long luxury vessel with capacity of 800 berth and 700 deck passengers and 40 cargo-bearing trailers. It is owned by the F reeport Cruise Lines, a joint ven-ture of the P ort A uthority and the United States Freight Company.

    W ith almost a year of operation be-hind it, the M /V Freeport has achieved two m ajor objectives for the P ort A u-thority. I t has stimulated visitor traffic while reducing sea travel costs.

It was the first tim e we recall seeing G orm an up from P ort Everglades since the Eller & Com pany office was opened last April— which speaks well for the way the operation is being managed.

    Just a few years ago, M iamians were alarm ed when Strachan Shipping Com -pany spread south to open steamship agency offices in P ort Everglades and M iami. N ow the trend is reversing, and South F lorida firms are moving into Jacksonville and across the state line into Georgia, South and N orth C aro-lina. Neal L. Harrington of M iami has spread further than any with offices now established in Jacksonville (Savage- H errington); Savannah, Charleston,

    W ilmington and M iam i (Atlantic Agen-cies, Inc.) N eal is president of Atlantic Agencies and William (Bill) Colcock is vice president.

    Richard (Dick) Dowdy, new director of economic development (seaport) for Jacksonville P ort A uthority, was almost snowed in w hen he m ade his first trip to New Y ork to drum up trade for JPA. H e spent a week in the big city and cam e back with mixed news— some good, some bad. H e found “most of the big com panies” very m uch “excited” about Jacksonville and its growth potential.

    Last time we saw John W. (Jack) Reagan, he was with Torm Lines and helping load the Ringling Brothers circus from Jacksonville to Rio de Janiero. W e still have some excellent anim al photos taken aboard that ship. Now, we learn that Jack has established his own P R and advertising firm in New Y ork and Clifton, N. J., using the nam e Rebel Promotions.

    “Peculiarly enough, the nam es of your two publications, both the “Florida Journal of Commerce” and “The Sea-farer” keep popping up,” he wrote. But it did not seem so strange when Jack listed the firms he is involved with, including Shipcraft Agency, Gulfstream Shipping, and Interm odal Freight F or-warding.

    H e m entioned Interm odal’s A tlanta m anager, Bob Smith, who visited our office during N ovem ber to talk over plans o f Interm odal in the Southeast. All o f the key officials and personnel in Interm odal have a background in pack-age express— a form of business which most Southern steamship agents have traditionally avoided except on an ac-com m odation basis. The independent freight forwarders became active in M iam i and re-developed tha t type trade fo r the South F lorida ports. Bob feels it can be accomplished elsewhere and is very excited about the prospects of his firm.

    Speaking of interm odal concepts, M iam i’s seaport is now advertising in air cargo publications. Their message:

  • Fly it into M iami and let us distribute on fast, frequent roll-on roll-off ships to the nearby Caribbean. I t is a valid sales pitch and should help both the seaport and airport in Miami.

    Sea-Land’s Howard Morris, a product of Winston-Salem, is pleased as punch about the way things are working out with Sea-Land since it became as part of the R. J. Reynolds Industries. Sea- Land got off to a 10-year head start in the container business and seems destined to hold its margin fo r a while to come. If a strong com petitor emerges, M orris says it will be a steamship com-pany put together and controlled by men with experience in inland transportation — truck or rail, but preferably truck. If M orris is right, then Seatrain m ay be one to watch.

    Chester, Blackburn & Roder, has ap-pointed Robert Pegues as m anager of advertising and promotions. H e is a 1968 graduate of the University of Tennessee, where he m ajored in m arket-ing and transportation.

    You can’t win them all. Bill Witowski, senior ship engineer surveyor for L loyd’s Register in Jacksonville, said he could not mail a copy of the Decem ber “Sea-farer” to Lloyd’s Chairm an A. C. Grover, who was one of three persons in the cover photo taken at a luncheon in lacksonville. Bill thought it was a wonderful picture of Grover and Miss Monica Angelo, who was pinning a nam e tag on the C hairm an’s lapel. The only problem was tha t tongue-out-of- check m an in the middle, G olf Pro Maurice Walsh. Sorry about that, Bill but we still think the picture captured the mood of the luncheon and dis-pelled the celluloid collar image of G rover’s advance publicity photo.

    Edward Moldt, Vice President of The Queen, Ltd., owner of the huge vessel, said a multi-million dollar con-tract has been signed with the San Pedro firm. Rados W estern also is per-form ing engineering design w ork on the Elizabeth’s sister ship, the Queen M ary, a t Long Beach, California.

    Rados W estern m arine engineers al-ready have m ade prelim inary studies of the Elizabeth, M oldt reported, and have established a field office aboard the liner in her tem porary berth at Port Everglades. Conversion w ork on the ship will begin shortly, and com-pletion is expected in July, 1970.

    Complete plans for the 224-acre area, which will be the site of the recreational and resort complex, will be unveiled shortly.

    M oldt said the California firm will design and m anage the complete con-version w ork required to turn the 1,031-foot form er C unard liner into a highly unusual hotel and convention center with an array of unique British shops. Rados W estern also will advise the ship’s owners on the specialized task of docking the vessel at its planned perm anent mooring, south of the pres-ent work location.
