SS Manhattan brittle fracture at sea

Companion case to Schenectady in the 1946 report. Fractured at sea (not at dry dock).

Of six thousand ships, the number that had serious structural problems was huge — like a thousand, eleven hundred ships with major structural failures. Six or seven broke up completely in two. There's the picture of the Schenectady, but there's also the picture of the SS Manhattan, which is right here. This happened not at dry dock, but out in the middle of the ocean.
