Scope and content
Cannaregio loading at Port piers, ordered by Chauncey Griggs. On August 4, 1947 the huge Italian ship was being loaded by crane with 33,000 pieces of cottonwood squares, more than 1 million board feet, and other materials for Ireland. Chauncey Griggs, head of Export Pacific, shipper of these goods, indicated the wood would be used by the buyers to manufacture butter tubs and other food containers to enable Ireland to distribute surplus food products to Eruopean countries who need them.
