THE QUEEN MARY TO DOCK
LONDON, November 18,
The liner Queen Mary will dock on December 20 for six weeks' overhaul, says the "Daily Telegraph." The docking charges alone will exceed £21,000, No important changes will be made in the structure or the machinery, but the hull will be scraped and recoated with an anti-fouling composition. At present the hull is thickly coated with preservative paint, a factor which reduces speed. Its removal may improve the liner's performance.
