Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:
~
(No. 9373 )  National Board of Fire Underwriters and Marine Underwriters. 
SAFEGUARDING WATERFRONT PROPERTIES.
Chicago: National Board of Fire Underwriters, [1940s]. Wrappers, Octavo, 
[ii], 29 pages. Fine.
      Scarce World War II booklet highlighting vulnerabilities of ports, 
piers and wharves in the U.S., and suggesting many improved practice 
requirements. The primary threat was fire--either by accident or 
sabotage--with the danger being greatly multiplied by the wartime congestion 
of vessels in the water and cargo on the piers at major ports. Prepared for 
the U.S. Coast Guard. Lots of interesting information. Bound in printed blue 
paper covers, saddle-stapled binding. Tiny tear to edge of front cover at 
head of spine, faint browning toward edges of covers....... $50.00
