Ship Building in the United states

The ship building of 1877 was
larger than for several years, but is
not expected to hold on through
1878, on account of the low rates of
freight prevailing on the ocean.
About 70, GOO tons of wooden ship
ping was built in Maine and New
Hampshire, 10, 600 in Massachusetts,,
%, 200 at other points along the coast,
while the Delaware River yards
turned out half a dozen iron steam
ships, amounting to $4,000 tons.
American white oak vessels of first
quality, as well as the iron vessels,
are produced as cheaply as the same
craft can be produced anywhere in
the world. Some thirty or forty old
vessels have been sold to NOrwe-
gians and Germans for the petrOle-
um trade. The Clyde, the center of
English iron ship building, has
turned out about the same number
in 1877 as in 1876, but the market
for steamers of a poorer grade is
greatly Overstocked. One Liverpool
firm issues a catalogue of 212 steam
ers for sale, many of which are fitted
up with old style machinery and APP
pOintmentS.
