Maritime Miscellany.

One of the minor and vet exceeding
ly important articles entering into the
construction of a wooden ship is the
knee" A ship knee is right-angled
wooden brace used to give strength to
the framing and is fashioned from the
natural crook of a tree formed by a
heavy. shallow. horizontal root and a
section of the trunk. Knees when fin
ished are sometimes as much as six or
seven feet high and many of them are
four feet high. The tremendous impe-
tus to wooden shipbuilding brought
about by the war has resulted in the
establishment of a sawmill at Port
land. Ore, designed exclusively for the
finishing of ship knees. The timber
preferred is second-growth Douglas
fir, found growing in shallow SOIL so
that the roots turn off at right angles
to the trunk and thus give the proper
shape. A tract of timber that will pro-
duce five to seven knees per acre is
considered a good location for a camp.
The standardized wooden ship requires
some two hundred knees of all sizes,
while another type of wooden ship. also
under construction, requires more than
one hundred and sixty knees. In addi-
ton to the production of knees by the
special sawmill at Portland, various
operators are also getting out knees by
the old-fashioned method of hand hew-
ing in the woods-National Lumber
