LAST REMNANTS OF OLD
SHIPYARDS ON FIRE
Launching Ways Built at Great Cost
SInoldcr On Fer
DnYH.

Fire. which has been smouldering
for the past week, is slowly consum-
ing the huge network of timbers which
form the launching ways AT the old
Trigg ship yards. Unless some speedy
action is taken. this last relic Of the
great industry OF former days will be
wiped from existence. The ways were
built ut an enormous expense, and
from there were launched n number OF
vessels.
Just what caused the fire is not
known. 1t Is not thought probable
that sparks from passing locomotives
are responsible owing to the distance.
The only explanation which Harbor-
master John II. Hopkins can made is
that river pirates fired tho timbcrs, in
the expectation of making off with the
iron rods and bolts which hold them
together.
The launching ways extend from
! Twenty-second Street to Twenty fifth
Street on a strip OF land between the
Trgg basin and the James River
They were constructed to bear i'm
rncnse weight, aud were one OF the
most costly parts of the shipbuilding
plant The ways were built on II net
work of pling, capped or and braccd
with the very best hard pine. and Sc
cureiy fastened with iron bolts and
rods. Among the vessels launched
from them were the Steamer Berkley,
u VIC oiu i'oiiiillioil Line inc govern
ment sea-going dredGe Benyard, and
the Standard Oil Company steamer a.
| :. Lucas. All of these boats were
launched during the receiycrshp, or
just preceding it in 1903.
Since the shipyards were abandoned
for this purpose, the basin has been
kept at river level, ana tho launching
ways have extended like Il gaunt
skeleton out of water, and have been
warped and twisted bv the hot aun
In many places they are in n bad state
of decay. Since the fire started, it has
been necessary to move tho gasolcne
launches from the basin 10 place
OF safety Nothing else is endangered
by tho flames.
