    Charley Seavey Sunk before it was built?

    Oops. Ahh, I meant 1917. Typo, typo, typo!

    Fascinating set of this ship. They don't build them like they used to! I had no idea that there were narrow gauge rail tracks on such ships. Looks as if these skips were pulled/pushed by hand.

    Name s/b MILAZZO for this and other photos in this series. SS Milazzo was an Italian bulk carrier built in 1916 and sunk during World War I. When she entered service, Milazzo was reported as the largest collier and also the largest cargo ship in the world. She was designed with a unique railcar and elevator system that helped to automate the discharge of cargo. [1]

    Pixel Wrangler That Wikipedia link needs some repair. Looks like Milazzo arrived in NY on July 1, 1916 on her maiden voyage.
  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    Art Siegel Fixed. Thanks.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks to both of you for the information, and spelling correction. We'll make the changes to the records the next time we update.
