| 15 |   | SHORT DESCRIPTION: Packet of motion/sea sickness pills from Matson Lines. The packet folds over the top and contains two individual pills, one of which is now powder. The cover has an image of the house flag, a red swallowtail with a white circle in the field surrounded by seven white stars and a blue M in the center of the circle. NOTES: The Matson company were steamship owners since 1901 and were at one time known as the Spreckles Line. In 1956, it controlled the Inter-Island Navigation Company, California S.S. Company, the Los Angeles Steamship Company, and until 1937 partly owned the Oceanic & Oriental Navigation Company. Matson had a single passenger cruise ship in the 20th century that was renamed several times: Monterey (1931-1957), Matsonia (1957-1963) and Lurline (1963-1970). As Marezine was developed in the early 1960s this object is most likely related to the ship when it was named Matsonia or Lurline. Cyclizine was developed in the American division of pharmacy company Burroughs Wellcome (today GlaxoSmithKline) during a research study involving many drugs of the antihistamine group. Cyclizine was found to be a potent and long-acting antiemetic. The company named the substance – or more precisely cyclizine's hydrochloride form which it usually appears in – "marezine hydrochloride" and started to sell it in the United States under trade name Marezine in the early 1960s. | CL30803 | |||||||

VESSEL INFORMATION: VESSEL NAME: WINDING GULF; USS WINDING GULF VESSEL TYPE: FREIGHTER, COLLIER BUILD DATE: 1918 BUILDER: NEW YORK SHIPBUILDING CORP. BUILDER LOCATION: CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY SHIPOWNER: CASTNER, CURRAN & BULLITT, INC. DIMENSIONS: 3339 net tons, 5438 gross tons, 368.6 x 55.2 x 30.5 VESSEL HISTORY: The Winding Gulf 5438 gross ton freighter with collier features, was built in 1918 at Camden, New Jersey by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation. Upon completion it was taken over by the Navy and commissioned as USS Winding Gulf (ID#3379). As a unit of the Naval Overseas Transportation Service, she made two round-trip voyages to France. The first, beginning in early September, included a cargo of locomotives for use in the Western Front war zone. The second trip took place in November 1918 to March 1919. The ship was decommissioned soon after returning to the US and returned to the US Shipping Board. From about 1920 to 1926 it was operated by Castner, Curran & Bullitt, Inc. An article in Providence Magazine, July 1919, states the Winding Gulf was the largest collier ever scheduled to enter the port of Providence. The big craft was en route to the port this month, but her immense cargo was sold at Hampton Roads to the Italian Government to be delivered to Italy. A return cargo of spaghetti will be taken aboard. It was taken over by the Mystic Steamship Company in 1927 and was operated by them for many years. The vessel was sold for scrap in July 1947. | CL30727 | |||||||
