'Steamer Aetna turning around by cement plant Sunday Sept. 25/38' First of two photos. That cement plant would be in Essexville, and was also named Aetna; the ship was named for the plant. She carried bags of cement around the Lakes under charter with Mid-West Transportation, which was owned largely by the same capitalists as the cement company. Aetna, another " Fredrikstad ship " (or Laker Type A ), was built as Lake Catherine by Toledo Shipbuilding under government contract in 1918. She was renamed Oscar J. Lingeman in 1926 and Aetna in 1937. She was sold off-lakes in 1941 and renamed Manasquan. The ship was scrapped in 1947. Borucki's Lakers
