From the Dec, 11, 2012, Wilmington (NC) Star-News.
NOVEMBER 4, 1942: A bus transportation system for exclusive use of its many in-town employees in four southeastern North Carolina counties has been established by the North Carolina Shipbuilding Company.
Ten modern tractor-trailer type buses were received by the U.S. Maritime Commission. Each bus can carry 100 people.
In 1942, the company employed 18,000 workers.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
