NEW TYPES OF LAKE VESSELS
Those Suitable for Passage Through
the Canals Are Most in a-4e
Demand,

In the annual review of the marine
on the great lakes the "Blue Book of
American Shipping," just published,
says: "The approximate value of YES
sells built in shipyards of the great
lakes during the last year is $1O,5OO,-
600. Nearly all of these vessels are
steel freight steamers of $50 to 500
feet in length and of 1000 to 5000
net tons capacity, equipped with
quadruple expansion engines of 1900
to 5000 horse power, and in most
cases with water tube boilers. The
year has, of course, been one of the
most prosperous in the history of lake
ship building on account of the boom
in iron and steel lines There are
still large number of ships under
construction in the lake yards, some
of them not to come out until the
spring of 1901, and there is every rea-
son to expect, in view of the profits
assured to ship owners by reason of
contracts made last fall. renewal
of orders that will give the yards
nearly as much work for another win
ter as they have had in the last year.
If the number of new ships ordered
for lake trade should be limited the
difference will probably be made up
in steel freight steamers of about
5000 tons capacity, to be built for
both the lake and Atlantic service
vessels suited to passage through the
Canadian canals from the lakes to the
seaboard. The canal type of steamer
is about 255 feet over all, AZ feet beam
and 26 feet nodded depth. About
dozen such vessels are now in commits
sion on the lakes and they might be
sent on to the seaboard for coast
service at any time. The few that
have gone to the Atlantic have proved
so successful in the trade to Porto
Rico and down the United States
coast that it is proposed to equip four
others, now under construction at the
works of the American Bodybuilding
company, for all kinds of service on
salt water as well as on the lakes
Companies are forming for. the con.
struction and operation Of a very
large fleet of steamers of this kind
and it is expected that the lake build.
