Stating the Art

Jim Hutchison’s story, “In the Wake of the Lady Rose,” Jan. 28, was interesting to an ex-Northwester, but I must take exception to “state of the art in 1937, the Lady Rose boasted one of the world’s first marine diesel engines.” Fiat was building marine diesels in 1909 and they were used in World War I U-boats.
