Christoffer Hannevig clippings, 1917-1950
"Christoffer Hannevig was born in Aasgaardstrand on the Oslofjord, son of a ship's owner. In 1905 he "joined a ship brokerage firm in Oslo. In 1914 he started the shipping firm of Hananevig Brothers in London and Oslo. He came to the U.S. in 1915 and during the next two years he acquired the stock in Pusey & Jones Shipbuilding Company of Wilmington, Del., and organized and became the sole owner of the Pennsylvania Shipbuilding Company and the New Jersey Shipbuilding Company of Gloucester, N.J. IN 1917, shortly after the U.S. entered the war, the U.S. Shipping Board requisitioned his property." Hannevig contended "that the U.S. Government did not pay him enough for the use of his shipyards and for the ships his yards had under construction and had contracts for." The Norwegian government eventually entered the case (which with interest claimed $80 million) which finally in 1959 was rejected by the U.S. Court of Claims.
Clippings collected by Carl G. O. Hansen about "the Hannevig case" from both American and Norwegian newspapers (including News of Norway).
