A Pacific Port, March 16.-The larg-
est concrete ship in the world was
launched here Thursday. The vessel
stands all tests, and the builders hope
this type will help to solve the ma
tons need for ships Every step of
the construction has been watched by
the government. The vessel is 800 fee,
between perpendiculars, 44.6 feet
VIDE and 30 feet deep, and when load,
ed will draw "a feet of water. Her
displacement will be 1900 tons and
she will have a carrying capacity of
goo tons and make ten or eleven

engines furnishing 1880 horse power.
She is ten times larger than any con-
lcrete boat now on record in this coun-
try.
advantages claimed for the new
vessel are that concrete construction
does not interfere with steel construc-
tion, plenty of concrete can be had
concrete vessels can be built for the
present cost of wooden vessels; con-
crete vessels of 1900 tons can be
launched within ninety days af,er the
work starts; while the cost of the
plant is "as $4,000 to $500 OOO'
compared with steel shipyard.

If they did, they would be too heavy to

president of the concern, which built
the boat. "Now they say the same
thing about concrete. But all the en-
g'neers we have taken over this boat
including many who said it was an
impossible undertaking, now agree
that it is success"
