J. H. Tuttle, NEW STANDARD OF CALIFORNIA, TANKER LAUNCHED AT SUN YARD
LAUNCHED recently and due to enter service in February is the giant tanker J. H. Tuttle, now outfitting in the Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company's yard at Chester, Pa. This vessel is the largest tanker yet built for the Standard Oil Company of California and will be one of the largest tankers claiming San Francisco as home port. Named after the vice president and treasurer of the great California oil firm, she was christened by Mrs. J. H. Tuttle. As shown by our illustrations, the hull has beautifully molded lines and is of huge bulk. Details have not been publicized by the owners, but undoubtedly she: will have a good turn of speed; will be equipped with the most up-to date, most comfortable, most sanitary and best ventilated living quarters for officers and crew ; will have the latest and most economical geared turbine propulsion machinery; and the most effective cargo pumping system.
