NNE Of the picturesque results Of the
" war is the renaissance of the old
time clipper ship that more than half
u century ago carried the Stars and Stripes
into every sea. by a combination Of circum-
stances sailing vessels have come into their
own again and the deep sea lanes over which
they roamel formerly know them once more.
Steam came pretty near to driving sails on the
ocean. Then after the war began 80 many
steamships were reIuisitiOned for Government
use that shippers had to resort to sailing vessels
to transport their cargoes.
Because this il no the old time skipper Is
happy and the agents who charter the sailing
craft smile with deep satisfaction. for every
ship that can carry canvas il under charter and
rates have risen to unbelievable heights. All
the shipyards along the Atlantic coast are busy
owing to the demand for ocean freight carriers
due to war conditions.

To the older generation of Americans, those
who were at one time engaged In maritime trade

the sea and the sight OF the sailing vessels re-
