THE SHIP UNINSURED
NEW YORK, February 17,
Rear Admiral Andrews, naval commandant of the New York District, acknowledged the ultimate loss of the liner Normandie in a letter to the Mayor (Mr. La Guardia); in which he thanked the local firemen for their work in combating the flames.
The "Weekly Underwriter,"' an insurance publication, declared today that there was no insurance on the Normandie (which was valued at 60,000,000 dollars) -since the United States had taken over the vessel as a naval auxiliary, and therefore its status at the time of the fire was that of a warship. The publication added that the ship ■was unsalvable.
