During World War II, the company operated ships under the War Shipping Administration, some of which
were company owned and taken over by WSA as was Nebraskan, and others wartime built and delivered directly
to WSA for operation by commercial agents including
Benjamin Goodhue, Chanute Victory, John Milledge, John
Drake Sloat, and Marine Eagle.[12]
In the 1950s, the company ceased sailing operations and
was taken over by Daniel K. Ludwig, who used it as a
holding company into the 1960s. Ventures at that time
included the development of Westlake Village, California.[13][14]
