Lunenburg, n. S. Is Close
on GIoucester's Heels
For Front Rank Of North AmeTi-
can Fisheries Ports.
Thirty New Vessels To Be Added
This Year to Its Fleet.

Lunenburg, n. S, Jan. i.-Pursuing
It's rivalry with Gloucester. Mass. for
rank as the greatest fisheries port of
the north American continent, Luncn-
burg is preparing 80 new vessels to
add to the fleet which will prosecute
the spring fisheries out of this port.
To furnish the crews for this addition
to its already considerable fleet of
fishing vessels. Lunenburg has drawn
upon Gloucester for its own sons and
Tor other Nova Scotian and New
Brunswick fishermen to the number of
more than 400. These men, who in
shipping on vessels sailing out of
Gloucester. have aided in sustaining
that ports great fisheries industry, will
hence pull hard for Lunenburg su
premacN.
The 50 new vessels viii be manned
by $40 men and will require % new
shippers, several of whom also will he
recruited from men who have had
command of vessels out ot<Gluuccster.
In fact. when the Lunenhurg feet
leaves tpr the fishing banks in the
spring more than one half of the men
following the fisheries out of this port
will have fished out Of Gloucester at
sometime. The fact that Nova Scotia
men were. forsaking the Bay state
city's vessels has been noticed at
gloucester fer some time and Glouces-
ter's loss is largely Lunenburg's gain.
The new additions to the local fleet
include some of the finest vessels ever
turned out of maritime yards and the
number is an indication of the extent
II the revival in shipbuiding n the
provinces. Some of the vessels have
been launched several months, includ-
ing the Lloyd George, built on the
Gloucester knockabout design, and de-
clared to rank among the best ever
built in Nova Scotia. Others are about
ready fer their maiden plunge and out
fitting for the seasons fisheries will
follow soon. 1t is expected new high
inc mark for the fleet will result
Nova Scotia has entered upon an era
,f extensive shipbuilding and Lunen-
ourgs fisheries endeavors are doing
much To stimulate the construction of
new vessels.
