SCIENCE TO SAVE WRECKS
CCIENTIFIC

CCIENTIFIC methods having been
- used at last with notable success to
save wrecked vessel, the practice is
to become an established custom in this
slngularly antiquatcd calling For 1t is
as strange as IT IS true that the impor-
tant business of wrccking, or salvage. has
not kept pace with the dcVelopmcnt in
other industries of the sea As a result
of this unprogrcssiVencss, almost all of
the thousand vessels of more than a hun
drcd tons burden which annually 90 To
the bottom stay there, when many of
them might well be saved
Nearly all the vessels which are lost at
sea are east ashore. Often the wreck IS in
a position sufficiently sheltered to admit
of salvage operations Vet ii is only in
exceptional cases that wrecks have been
saved, because IN fifty years salvors
have not advanced beyond the crude
application of main strength and a little
elementary ingenuity Sometimes the
elementary ingenuity is omitted. as in
the case of the Prinzcssin Luisc, which
went ashore on a sandy beach off Port
Royal, Jamaica, December II, 1900 The
Lulsc, which draws seventeen feet of
water light, lay in the sand with only
ten feet of water round her for most
of her length Yet wrccking company
actually had the tcmerity to attempt to
drag this monstrous mass of steel through
the hard wet sand by means of tugs
The whole history of wreckng from the
to the evolution of twentieth century II
epitomized in the story of one vessel, the
which ran on Wye Rock in the ST Lawre
