Summary: Series of legal documents and communications between Pensacola Maritime Corporation in Pensacola, FL and Root, Clarke, Buckner & Howland firm of New York following the fuel oil contract cancellation by The Texas Company in May 1920. The S.S. “Ohian” is of particular concern, as it was sitting in the Pensacola port for a period of time without oil while the contract was disputed. The Pensacola Maritime Corporation engages the services of W.A. Blount to review the original July 1919 contract. The services of Clinchfield Navigation Company of New York are also employed to assist with contract negotiation with J.H.W. Steele Company simultaneously.
