Samuel Phmsoll's fight for British
sailors was inspired originally by the
poor loading of grain ships In the

grain ships from New York were either
lost or abandoned at sea owing 10 poor

The complete and proper filing OF
grain holds is the essential of grain
loading. Poor trimming invites disaster
through shifting grain. To insure
proper loading the rules require shift
