especially since the White Star liner Olym-
pic. with length of s52 feet, took up the
running between Southampton and Ne"

On the Clyde and Mersey.

Mention has already been made Of the
drydock at Belfast. This is s0i feet in
length and 96 feet wide, but tho Harbor
Commissioners, with q view to develop
ments, have instructed their engineer TO
prepare plans for increasing the dimensions.
The Clyde Trust has begun the construction
OF a craving dock with a length of l,OoO
feet at least, and so far az the width is
concerned. the opinion OF the Admiralty
is being obtained, as IL Is believed that war
ships will be 100 feet broad before many
years are passed. On the Mersey dry
dock Is in course OF completion sufficiently
large 10 take the biggest liners contem-
plated. and tho Trafalgar Dock, South
ampton, is being extended to a length OF
l.OO0 feet and a width Of 100 feet

out that there are no fewer than thirty

Although a craving dock for 100 feet
