The Texas Co., Launching of the ''Ohio''

  Wow; I never cease to be amazed at what arbitrary browsing of the commons turns up. A quick search reveals this to be the very Ohio that stayed afloat despite extensive damage and made it to Malta with its cargo of oil, considered by some to have saved Malta from falling into German hands.

  Loening K-84W Commuter, CAA registry NC374V.

• SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:

  Gerry Asher Thank you again for your helpful information! Based on what we were able to find, this model aircraft is a Keystone-Loening K-84 Commuter, first manufactured in 1929. Keystone-Loening was bought out by Curtiss-Wright and became one of their divisions in 1931, but stopped manufacturing altogether in 1932. This particular aircraft is still in existence, and has been listed as being housed at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum, in Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks again for all your help in identifying these aircraft!

Gulf Oil Corp., Marine Dept. Loading Tanker

• JM L said:

  This particular Gulfdawn was a T2-SE-A1 tanker constructed by Sun Shipbuilding in 1943. T2 tankers were the tanker equivalent of Victory Ships. Originally launched as San Antonio, operated by Gulf Oil Co. during the war, and then renamed Gulfdawn in 1947. It was sold to a Monrovia-registered operator in 1958 and eventually scrapped in 1966.
