ceremony at Smith Cove Pier 41,
Seattle
Capt. R. J. Healy, commander I
of the American Mail Liner Presi
dent Madison, the rescue ship, and j
each member of the two lifeboatj
crews, who fought their way thru j
the boiling seas to the marooned
seafaring men, were presented
with silver plaques in recognition
of their deeds.
The presentation was made by
John Cormode, assistant to the
vice-president of the American
Mail Line, on behalf of the passen
gers of the President Madison on
her last voyage from Seattle to the
Orient.
V. Meyer, of the firm, of Ander
son, Meyer & Co., Ltd., of Shang
hai, a passenger aboard the Presi
dent Madison, suggested to his fel
low travelers that recognition be
given the deeds of valor of the men
of the rescue ship. Funds were
raised and the plaques purchased
; in Shanghai. The President Madi
j son brought the plaques to Seattle.
I In making the presentation Mr.
i Comode told of the willingness of
I the men of the President Madison
i to take part in the rescue The
| whole crew of the liner wanted to
j go, he said.
! On a large plaque presented to
the master of the President Madi
! son was the following inscription:
“Presented to Capt. R. J. Healy,
the officers and crew, by the pas
sengers of the steamship President
Madison in recognition of their he
roic work in saving the survivors
of the steamship Nevada on the
29th of September, 1932.”
On each of the plaques presented
to the members of the lifeboat
crews was the following legend:
“Presented to (name of lifeboat
crew member) by passengers of the
steamship President Madison in
recognition of his participation in
the heroic work of saving the sur
vivors of the steamship Nevada on
29th September, 1932.”
The silver plaques were mounted
| on teak wood shields- The one
presented to Capt. Healy will re
! main on the President Madison to
j remind over-ocean travelers of the
I most thrilling rescue in the history
i of navigation on the Pacific.
