News copy on back reads: Sketch of the Hall of Maritime Transportation at the New York World’s Fair 1939. Twin ship prows, each 80 feet high (30 feet higher than the nose of the Normandie) give a nautical flavor to the main entrance. Sea effect is further enhanced by boat decks, 150-foot mast and large basin for display of yachts and cruisers. Architects of the building were Ely Jacques Kahn, William Muschenheim and Morrison J. Brounn. For release to Morning Papers of Monday, Jan. 24, 1938
