Lime Business, Sc.
1t was the good fortune of the writer while on
recent visit to the town of Thomaston, through
the courtesy of Hon. f. X. O'Brien. to he taken
on board the monster ship, now nearly completed
built this season nv the veteran ship builder the
Hon. Edward O'Bren, who is now in his Seth
year
hardly knew which 10 most admire this spcn-
did specimen of the merchant shp or the wonder
pluck, energy and enterprise of her builder and
owner This noble shin is the largest ever but
in Maine with one exception. She is 1900 tons
hurhen. her length of keel is 232 feet. and is $50
feet in length over all. She is AZ IL f. wide and
has 80 f.. depth of hold She has three decks, and
is constructed in the strongest and most substao-
tal manner. Some idea of her great s'ze NAV he
obtained when it is understood that more than
1000 bushels Of salt were put between her timhers
for the purpose of protection against rot.
The spacious cabin or house built for the a.
commodatiou Of the common sailors. attests the
care and thoughtfulness of the owner for the com.
fort OF poor Jack, and is in pleasant contrast to
the close and dirty forecastle OF ships of the olden
time. She is copper fastened, and is to he metaled
or she ahed with copper on her arrival in Liver
pool, where she is to 90 after loading in New Or
leans with cotton, and from Liverpool to Csllao
with coal, in command of Can't Frank Curling. a
promising young man scarcely . years of age.
She was modelled nv Mr.. q Brien and built under
the direction of Master Benner of Thomaston She
is to be launched about the 2Sh of this month and
is the ninth large ship owned and sailed by Mr..
O'Brien.
Shiphudpg has been one of the great interests
of Th0maston, hut il has been on the decline for
years, the only builders being the Messrs. Watts
and O'Bren.
The manufacture of lime is now the principal
business. Hon f X. o Blien K Co., are running
two kilns producing about 200 barrels day.
They have recently opened a new quarry from
which they get rock that produces about so bar.
rels per day of lump lime of superior quality
These gentlemen have unequaed facilities for
burning and shipping. Their kns are located on
a wharf where vessels lie within fifty feet of them,
and the barrels OF lime are rolled from the sheds
over the kins directly on board thus they make
a considerable saving in the cost of shipment.
Taking into account all the work incident ia
lime burning, thirty men are employed to work
| each kiln. 1t is all work. the manufacturers say
and at present prices not much is left them in the
way of profits. S.
