; i looms out of thefog! COLLISION at sea is today a rare event. Modern navigating skill guides ships safely through the thickest fogs. But collision is still a danger. In harbors, along crowded coasts, and even on the high seas. Every precaution is taken to prevent these disasters. But unfortunately other, less dra matic, dangers are sometimes neglected. The corrosive attack of the elements costs ship owners a huge sum every year. Corrosion is constantly on the attack -- in port as well as on the high seas. Fortunately, ship steel can be protected from the danger of corrosion. Pure red-lead paint, carefully applied, gives your ships the needed protection against rust. Pure red-lead--Dutch Boy red-lead--is the standard)protective paint of the shipping in dustry. It is tough, durable, economical. Dutch Boy red-lead comes in both paste and liquid form. The liquid comes in the natural orange red for next-to-metal coats, and also in browns, black, greens for finishing coats. The paste is obtainable in the natural orange-red and can be shaded to dark colors. When a white or light-colored finish is de sired, as on the superstructure, the practice is to use Dutch Boy white-lead. In the case of metal, the white-lead is applied over a red-lead undercoating. White-lead paint is also noted for its protective qualities and durability. It produces an extremely washable finish--one that stands up under the frequent cleaning of painted surfaces aboard ship.
