Big Steamships.
There are several ways of calculat-
ing tonnage of vessels. Displacement
(Which is the weight of the vesseD.
gross tonnage (by measurement or net
tonnage (after deducting space taken
by engines. bunkers and other neces-
sary, but unproductive parts of the
ship may be given. Displacement
varies, of course, as the ship is with
or without cargo, and is usually applied
to warships, in which there is but little
variation from loading. Neither gross
nor net tonnage measured by taking
forty cubic feet to the ton, describes
the dead weight that the vessel can
carry. A sailing ship of $500 tons has
gone out Of San Francisco port with
1000 tons of wheat in her hold, while
one of the big ocean greyhounds may
stow away barely quarter q her
gross tonnage in freight. Here is a
table of measurements of big ships
from the London Engineer. 1t does not
agree with statements Of tonnage of
these ships given elsewhere, but its
value consists in the fact that COM
mon basis Of measurement is taken for
all the ships, and therefore the table
gives fair comparison of the size of
the different vessels:
