TO LAUNCH SHIPS
ON JULY FOURTH
Shipping Board Arranges Big Cele-
bratiOn For Launching 439,SS5
Tons OF Ships

The shipping board has arranged a
Fourth of July celebration of its own
this year by preparing to launch
eighty-nine newly constructed yes
sells on that day..
The total tonnage of the new YES
sells will be 439,SS5 dead weight tons.
Some conception of the multitude
OF this feat in shipbuilding, suggested
some time ago by Edward n. Hurley,
chairman of the board, and made pos
sible by the amazing energy of Charles
NJ. Schwab director general of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, will be
gathered when it is realized that this
tonnage represents more than one
third of the total American shipping
afioat in the fiscal year 1856. 1t
extends by more than 10000 tons the
launchings for the entire year of 1901,
the record of pre-war year for Ameri-
can shipping.
OF the vessels to be launched, thir-
ty-seven will be steel bulls. They in
clude the 12,500-ton carrier William
Penn. the 12,000-ton Challenger, of
the same type; the sister ship indie
pendence. Victorious and Defence, all
of 1880 tons; three refrigerator
ships of 5000 tons each. eight $500
ton freighters and a huge list of 9TH
ers, big and small. The smallest on
the list is the Lake Pearl, 2300 tons.
