Huntington did not live to see the yards perfected; but his work was taken up by his widow, Mrs. Collis F. Huntington. who. thor oughly familiar with her husbands ann bitions. carried forward his plans To- day this lady by energy and courage has seen great battleships built in the ship yards and merchant vessels the peers of any ships afioat glide from the ways.
 With the consent of all shipbuilders 1t may be stated that the Newport News Shipbuildng and Dry Dock Company Is the model plant of the shipbuilding world. The shipyard contains one hundred and twenty acres; it's frontage on the water Is 2600 feet, and its outfitting basin is 900x500 feet. The buildings cover ten acres and are we'll built of brick. Every shop is equipped with modern machinery capable of doing the largest work re- quired in ship construction. Tools driven by electricity and compressed air are largely used in building and repairing vessels. The machine shop Is lO0x5OO feet; boiler shop 100x300 feet; blacksmith shop, 100x300 feet; ship she'd 60x320 feet; joiner shop. 60x300. and framing shed, FOX 344 feet The shears has . capacity of one hundred tons and the revolving der rick one hundred and fifty tons.

American shipbuilders once enjoyed advantages over Europeans. They had the forests near at hand 10 provide them with masts and lumber. Recognizing this, the ministers of King George pro- hibited the felling of tall trees and the building of ships. After the Revolution prohibitive restrictions were swept away and the flag of the new nation on Amer ican built vessels entered every port. In those days ships were built of oak and iron; and shipbuilding was great indus try in the United States. With the ad vent of steel construction this field of ac- tivity was transferred to English, Scotch, French and German yards. America lost its prestige as a shipbuild- ing nation.
 Colls P. Huntingtons stout American heart rebelled at the sight of flags of foreign nations filling the harbors of Atlantic ports seeking freights of Amer ican agricultural and industrial products. He saw to what enormous proportions international commerce must grow, and the magnitude of navies of nations. He saw that a great industry, that of build Ing vessels for carriers or the earths products and for purposes of offense and defense was being diverted from the United States. He realized the advan- tages his own country possessed with it's vast deposits of iron, it's great steel mills, it's clever and competent army of labor. For years he cherished the idea of a great shipyard. It required millions to costruct 1t as it should be constructed to meet present and future requirements Huntington was a man who did things on a large scale; he had no use for feeble efforts. At last the time came. He bought land at Newport News, an ideal location. and founded the greatest ship yard in the world-the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company
 Like all the great organizers Hunting ton was man wonderfully gifted in se- ecting able lieutenants. He placed at

which would be developed in due course of time. The largest dry dock, by meas urement, is S27 feet long on top; 162 feet wide on top; 80 feet wide on bottom and has draught of water over sill of 30 feet The capacity of these great dry docks and the efficiency of the yard has made the Newport News Dry Docks the favored place for shpmasters to go when their vessels are injured or in need of repair. Here it was the North German Lloyd steamship Main" a vic tim of the Hoboken fire was rebuilt at a cost of $600,000.
 All this has been accomplished in the brief period of fourteen years, yet it's conservative and progressive manage ment is ever alert and active to increase it's efficiency and to add to it's capacity An army of seven thousand men are kept constantly at work in construction and repair. Its achievements in ship building are world known. by the hun dreds of examples of perfect workman ship.
