In this huge steamer. In order to
make this casting crew of men was
kept busy for two months in preparing
the mould. Only 20 minutes were nee
essary to make the casting. however.
The Contra Costa will be the largest
ferry boat in the world. taking the
title from the Solano by a few feet In
both length and width, The newer
boat. by being constructed with en-
gines in the center instead of on the
sides. will have greater car carrying
capacity. The hull of this vessel is
now being constructed In the Oakland
shipyards of the Southern Pacific All
of the machinery is being built at Sac
