The Patuxent ''Ghost Fleet'' 1927-1941

Merle T. Cole: 1986 Maryland, softcover 54 pages, with some photos. Publication about four ships for the Merchant Marine Fleet. Monticelli, Mount Vernon, America and George Washington. The Patuxent “Ghost Fleet” 1927–1941 recounts how four former German passenger liners, seized during World War I and later laid up on Maryland’s Patuxent River, spent interwar years as an idle yet striking landmark and tourist curiosity. As tensions mounted before World War II, these once-luxurious liners were finally removed from their quiet anchorage for scrap or renewed government service. ISBN 9780941647199 In good condition
