I (Andrew Hochheimer) received a UPS Worldwide Express Envelope marked Urgent. It was from a scrap metal Trading Corporation in Pirae Greece the letter states;
“Subject: ex. USS ELDRIDGE
We have been informed of your interest for the abovementioned vessel.
We have taken the liberty to write to you this letter in order to inform you that this vessel is now under our ownership. Therefore if you would still have an interest on this vessel please contact us at the abovementioned address and numbers, preferably in Piraeus – Greece, as soon as possible.”
Looks as though they are looking for a buyer before turning it into scrap metal.
