Ocean Press
"Ocean
Press"
was a news service for ocean liners .. comprised of copy from
United Press and later United Press International.
The masthead to the left indicates it was published by a separate
corporate subsidiary of Scripps, but essentially under one roof
with UP / UPI at the Daily News Building in New York.
The subheadline under the "Ocean Press" logo was:
"WORLDWIDE NEWS of UNITED PRESS . . . TRANSMITTED by
RADIOMARINE CORPORATION OF AMERICA" ... which appears to
have been a subsidiary of RCA.
That masthead is from the May 25, 1936 issue ... received aboard
the S.S. Washington .. which numbered it "Voyage 40,
Westbound #3"
It was labeled "UNITED PRESS - RCA NEWS SERVICE."
It was comprised of the four pages in the thumbnails below. To
see larger versions of the pages, please click on the appropriate
thumbnail. The resolution on subsequent pages is sharp enough to
give you a good feeling of the Ocean Press product, with clear
headlines, but to minimize load time, the actual stories
themselves are not reproduced sharply enough for reading.
