our ships are Mightier than the Armada Yet they, too, face the danger of destruction /TY fleet is invincible," thought Philip of Spain. And indeed the Armada with its hundred and twenty mighty galleons was a sight to inspire the confidence of any king. Yet only a battered remnant of this proud expedition ever returned to Spain. rtf Your own great steel ships seem far removed from harm. Yet every minute of the day they are threatened with lurking, unseen dangers. Sun, waves, moisture-laden air are constantly striving to destroy the material of which these ships are built. Againsta shield ofpure red-lead, such as Dutch Boy red-lead, these forces ofcorrosion are power less. The solid, tough, durable film formed by pure red-lead permits corrosion no chance to get its start. Dutch Boy red-lead comes not only in paste form for mixing with pure linseed oil, but also as a liquid ready for use. Both forms come in the natural orange-red color. The liquid also comes in black, browns, and greens. The paste can be shaded to any desired dark color. When a white or light-colored finish is desired, 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 sur faces aboard ship.
