Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the
Progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the
Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of
foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was
188.715 tons, while in 18€2 it was 595,339, which, in the year
ending June, 1853, increased to 756,120 tons.
In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve-
Inents for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers
could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of
/nails nnd passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve-
Inents in marine engines, economy of fuel and space has been
effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and
screw steamers have not only bean employed in alt the near
trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their
o,lvners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to
shippers'Shippers they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced
'.
Hor some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been
itally a change. In the Amer.can trade screw
fin- rk linen,o earne ave taken the place
carriersclass of
gsools and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and
,tinge number of intermediate and steerage passengers be ng
r' conveyed by sailing vessels.
viz'llt,he important branches of the American import trade,
sn,,.".tinse of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually
..,:Lained by heating during. the protr .cted voyages fre-
sh''entlY made byvessels is so great, that the interest
all engaged in thesArades will be enlisted in favour of
gati' Selleme for the extension of steam shipping to include
freight, and there can be no doubt but that the whole of
ale enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool
the
amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fa.l. entirely into
e,lands of steam companies.
y le first object of thil Company is to place on the New
°!cstation a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and
toLondon, of large size and great capacity, which will be able
almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels,
irllst at the same time, from the regularity of their passages,
bIIT Will command a full share of the steam trade, and,the
t(;rectors also intend sending steamers to the American
trtt°o Ports when the war is brought to an end and the
ants
rof the Brazid, and have also unde l
and othertrades.r their consideration the
win organising this Company the Directors believe that it
1"1 not enter into undue competition with the existing lines.
be Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the
-4,„i,_18 and passengers with fast and expensive steamers.
The Inman Line has no subsidy, but. nevertheless has been
nlost successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having
(Tinlinenced its operations with two steamers, the City of
f,;„,,asgow and City- of Manchester. The steaniships of the
I,—"an Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse-
:o,Wer than those projected by this Company, which will be
a'a,;led at much le•is cost, and will be constructed to consume
s'lDn amount of coal at same time of
:11 Iparativel
.'eh capacity thy atsmall, in add ition to a large cargthe ch
o of meran-
t Ise and passengers, they will be able to carry sufficient fuel
or their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex-
pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad.
In order that the objects of this Company may not be even
Partially antic pated, and that the stations may at once be
hriPied, Provisional arrangements have been made whereby
r new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all
.esPeets suitable for ihe service. have been stcured, and con-
ey-lets have been entered into for the bu lding of others of about
° tons earth, and it is proposed to c.mmence with a fort-
as ightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sailings
soon as the vessels can be got ready. The ports of depar-
lyre shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, aril London to
(11_ extent the metropolitan trade may require.
The ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John
ou?liclan —late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry
IN•avraon ShiPB,—whose services as Inspecting En,ineer and
Architect the Directors have secured to th s Company.
The
success which has attended the formation of well-
eZaard steam companies has been very marked. That of
Ste d and inman Company is well known. 'I he Pacific,
i„,arn Navigation Company, whose shares,Zso paid, are sell-
,us at £7B per share, has out profits given to its share-
nolders new paid-up shares exceeding the amsunt of the ori-
'inal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per at. on
e m increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an
almOst equal sum, while m.tny private steamship owners,
with similar descriptions of vessels, but much smeller than
'uose this Ccmpa .y intend to possess, have reaped like
results.
The Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a
7 great success to the undertaking. They are not en-
tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com-
Pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size,
those which have proved so t emunerative to several well-
known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other
trades, and have thus the advantage of toe experience so
acquired, which proves that what is needed, under Efficient
management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships,
with moderate but sufficient ho: se-power
and great carrying
capacity.
The introduction of the limited liability principle has en-
abled undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be
carried out by joint-stock companies, which may embrace the
_43-operation of shippers anit of others interested, instead of HY private capitalists as he ; the result being tht.t
Inc supporters of this line will become laterested in its suc-
cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn.
