By way of showing the decline of the
sailing ship, the following statement
has been issued in England, which
shows the fall in the number of sailing
vessels at some of the ports in Great
Britain: Thirty years ago there were
102 sailing ships registered as owned
at West HartlepooI and it's sister town. |
The steamships there owned were only
$40 tons in the total Now the sail
ing vessels at the port have fallen to |
six, and the steam tonnage has risen |
year by year until it is now 364,64 |
tons in the aggregate.
Says the New York Maritime Regis |
ter: From San Francisco we hear that |
the Togo Kisen Steamship Company |
has completed arrangements with the |
Pacific Mail Steamship and the South |
ern Pacific Companies relative to trans |
continental business. The Togo Kisen |
and the American company will Oper |
ate steamers alternately between San |
Francisco and Yokohama, and probab-
ly give cheaper service thar the Nip |
pom Yusen Kaishi, the other Japanese
line. which has its American terminus
at Seattle. The arrangements between |
the Pacific Mail and the Togo Company
provide that steamers shall leave for
Japan, ETC., much more frequently than
under present arrangements.
