A DAILY SERVICE
THE ATLANTIC CROSSING EXPRESS STEAMERS IN THREE YEARS (Sun Cable) LONDON, Nov. 7. Mr Laurence Wilder’s project of establishing an express service of transAtlantic steamers becomes operative in 1930, and a daily service from Long Island to Southampton and Havre will be maintained. The American Shipping Board was won over by experiments with model vessels and may grant a loan from the fund of £25,000,000. The Brown Boveri Company is sponsoring the project, which is entitled the New York-London-Paris Steamship Company, otherwise the Blue Ribbon Line.
Vessels are being laid down immediately, costing £3,200,000 apiece and resembling huge destroyers.
