three OF it's big liners, whiah ply he
tween this port and New York, cut
in two and heightened in the near IN
ture. Just when the work will begin
and how much longer the three Ships
will be made is not known ut this
time.
The first steamer to be heightened
will be the Hamilton. one of the fin
est OF the Old Dominion fleet. The
work on her will. it is understood. he
done at the local shipya.d. but it is
not known where the other two ships
will be heightened.
The freight and passenger traffic
between this port, Norfolk and New
York has increased greatly AMI it is
for that reason that the Old Donin-
ion Company has found it, necessary
to enlarge three OF its liners. i'll order
10 give them a greater carrying Ca
pacity and to make 1t possible for
them - meet the increased demands
of the traffic.
The Old Dominion Steamship Come
pany now operates five large liners,
the Monroe, the Hamilton, the Jeffer-
son the jamestown and the
Princess Anne, between Hampton
Roads ports and New York, four
of them carrying both freight and pas
sengers, while the fifth carries
freight only.
Recently it has been necessary for
the vessel reserved exclusively for
the freight trade to make frequent
trips out from this port and it is said
that even now the line is barely able
TO accommodate all of the freight
shired to New York from this city
and the city acros Hampton Roads
and the officials of The line have,
therefore, decided to lcngthen three o.
the liners.
