Operations OF the Bruce
Company Begin With
Docking Local Vessel.
FLOATING DOCKS
WORK SMOOTHLY
Preparations for inaugural
ing City's Newest Inous-
try Made Quietly.

With the docking OF the schooner
Yakima yesterday morning, the Eruce
Drydock Company begins its opera
tlons IN Pensacola. and what is con-
sidered a great industry for this port
starts work.
No sooner was the water pumped
from the floating docks, than car
penters. caulkers, painters and scores
of other workmen rushed in and
started work. 1t is expected that the
Yakima will be launched in the morn
ing, and the American schooner John
Francis taken out.
Preparations for the work had been
made so <Iietly that few. even along
the wafer front. knew that the big
shipping plant was ready for business.
President Watson and General Man
ager L. A. Johnson, formerly deputy
clerk of the circuit court, personally
supervised the first haul, and are en-
thusiastic over the work of the plant.
The dock has a capacity of 1900
tons, and is capable of docking boat
up to and including 18 feet in depth
The dock rests in a basin of 25 70 81
feet of water, which was dredged hy
the company before the dock was
brouoht here. The dredging has bee
conducted during the summer. as:d
$50 900 cubic yards of sand were Ic-
moved before basin of sufficient
size was otbained.
The dock is only a part of the work
Of the company, and as soon as the
machine shops and other buildings
are completed much greater activity
will be apparent. Vessels will also
be constructed by the plant, and it
is expected that work will be started
as soon as arrangements are COM
pleted.
The dock and plant will fill long
felt need in Pensacola, and supply a
want often expressed by the shipping
interests here and elsewhere on the
gulf coast. Not only is it expected
to keep much business in Pensacola,
which would otherwise go to Mobile
or New Orleans, but will draw busi
ness from other territory.
