Big liner blaze.
Fire broke out today in Britain's biggest post-war merchant ship, the CORINTHIC, in her fitting-out basin at BIRKENHEAD. Built for the New Zealand passenger-cargo service of Shaw, Savill and Albino & Co., the vessel, of 15,000 tons displacement developed a 20 degree list and fire pumps had to be stopped in case the ship capsized. Firemen from ten brigades fought the fire, which broke out in one of her holds and in her refrigerating chamber, and, when the list developed, shipyard men took their lives in their hands as they worked feverishly with oxy-acetylene apparatus to cut through bulkheads in an effort to right the vessel.
Picture shows: Fire-fighters tackling the badly-listing and smoking CORINTHIC at Birkenhead today (Saturday).
