1946 Alcoa Aluminum Alloys Pittsburgh PA Print Ad - for Standard Shipbuilding
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT
The twelve voyages of the Allumette?
Alumette, built entirely of Alcoa Aluminum Alloys, was placed in the briny waters of Chesapeake Bay in 1936. She has been dry-docked and inspected twelve times.
On her \"voyages\" between inspections she traveled nowhere; sailed without captain or crew; but, nevertheless, returned each time laden with a cargo of valuable information. This information proved conclusively, to naval architects everywhere, the suitability
of Alcoa Aluminum Alloys for standard boatbuilding practice. Salt water corrosion tests, structural tests... Alumette passed them all with flying colors.
In sailboats, cabin cruisers, rowboats and canoes this same durable Alcoa Alumi-num is giving sportsmen highly seaworthy craft. Remember to ask your builder, marine architect or dealer about Alcoa Aluminum in that boat for you.
