SHIP BUILDING
INDUSTRY IN
MAINE DW|NOLES

Portland Me. Dec. 2l.-While nearly
every great industry throughout the
country reports great prosperity, ship
building, which once held the premier
position in this state, has dwindled TO
meagre proportions. Where formerly
10000 tons OF wooden shipping were
launched in a single year from Maine
yards, barks, brigs and schooners. that
total output OF all craft OF all classes for
the past year amounts TO but 1905 tons.
OF the i6 vessels Of all classes launched
I'm the state this year only 10 are Of more
than 300 tons register, the others being
small craft, mostly gasolene launches.
Even during the great business depres-
sion at the close OF the Civil War the
Maine shipbullding industry showed
greater vitality when from 5000 TO 10000
tons were built.
Many reasons are given for the decline.
Foreign tramp steamers have taken away
the former profitable business OF the
stately square-riggers from down East"
The West India trade, once the Mecca
OF Maine-bult craft, is now largely car
ried I'm foreign steamers. Barges and pow
erful tugs have contributed towards re-
ducinK the coal carrying traffic once so
profitable for the sailing vessels.

Local trains were from half an hour to
an hour late and long distance expresses
also were greatly delayed. Even the troll

larly those whose routes lie over the long
bridges across the Charles river. over ths
river. which flows beneath the Boston and
Maine railroad tracks directly outside tho
North station and over an arm OF the
