SHIPPING ITEMS Cobb, Butler & Co.,
Rock land, have 1000-ton schooner nearly
completed, of the same design and dimen-
sions as the Ellen Little, launched from
their yard in Sept. 1904. She will be ready
| for launching the last of March or early in
April. This firm has just stretched the
keel for a 4-masted power and sail schooner
of 5000 tons carrying capacity, for the coal
trade. Her auxiliary power will be 500
horse power gasolene engine. The schooner

Cobb, Butler & Co. will probably have the
building of other schooners of the same
model This firm is also building two COW

lime company. The lighters are 80 feet
long and 80 feet beam and 81 feet Deep

$500 barrels of lime, all on deck. They are
designed like a scow and without mast or
steering gear They will be used for light
