J EXF EiUCSON and his Norse Vikings sailed to \j America through a sea of darkness. Through ignorance and superstition these rude Norsemen lived in constant fear of imaginary dangers. Monstrous serpents, terrifying dragons, strangling vapors lurked always just ahead. lour ships face a danger the Vikings never feared MODERN mariners have no fears of supernatural monsters. In huge steel ships they sail safely over charted routes. But even under modern conditions their ships are threatened with an ever-present dan ger--a danger the Vikings thought little about. Sun, air, moisture are constantly striving to destroy the materials of which ships are built. The steel ships of today must be safe-guarded against corrosion. The rust-forming elements can not reach the metal to do harm when it is protected with a coating ofpure red-lead--such as Dutch Boy red-lead. Today wherever ships sail on the seven seas a tough, durable red-lead film is guarding them from the savage attack ofcorrosion. Dutch Boy red-lead, the highest grade red-lead obtainable, is the choice of many ship-owners. It can be had not only in paste form for use with pure linseed oil but also as a liquid ready for immediate use. Both forms come in the natural orange-red color for next-to-metal painting. The liquid also comes in black, browns, and greens for finish ing coats. The paste can be. shaded to black, browns, greens and other dark colors. When a white or light-colored finish is desired, as on the super structure, the practice is to use Dutch Boy white-lead. In the case ofmetal, the white-base is applied over a red- lead undercoating. White-lead paint is also noted for its protective qualitiesanddurability. It produces an ex tremely washable finish-- one that stands up under the frequent clean ing of painted surfaces aboard ship.
