Z. w. Wright manager of the Nc
Eachern Ship company, of Oregon,
and identified for the greater part
Of his life with shipping affairs on
the Willamette and Columbia rivers,
gives the following interesting facts
about wood ships:
Nearly forty years ago." he writes,
''the wooden steamship Great Re-
public 378 feet long, Al feet beam,
and with a carrying capacity Of more
than 5000 tons, was in operation be-
tween the Orient and San Francisco.
Not only was she a big carrier, but
her wooden hull had strength suffi-
cient to support machinery that gave
her a speed OF nearly twenty miles an
hour on the river.
Before and after the appearance
of the Republic and. for years after
long career having tested her strength
wooden steiner continued to play a
prominent part on most of the ocean
highways, and is still doing so.
THE durability of the wooden ship
is another feature that has been time
tested. Owned on the Pacific coast
and engaged in the coastwise and off,
shore trade out of Pacific ports are
$50 steam and sail vessels that have
seen from 20 to IS years service. OF
this list 6S have passed their goth

with anything like proper care
and upkeep, most OF these vessels are
good for many years.
'It is q noteworthy fact that salt
water, the very element that rusrs
and ruins the metal ship, is the best
known preseryative for a wooden
ship.
.'The truth of that old adage that
history repeats itself never had
better prospect for verification than
in the shipping outlook that viii con-
front us at the close Of the war.
when the Civil War ended, a big
fleet of government transports were
turned loose and many Of them came
around the Horn to the Pacific north
west. These old wooden steamers OPP
ened up new trade fields and aided
enormously in developing those al

Central 9merica, to Mexico, Hawaii
and the Orient, and had the govern

tected shipping as it is now doing.

been lost.
Five years before the war began,

WOOD ships
Still HAVE
PLACEONSEA

The life of a wood ship, like that
of man, is a risk. They have their
Methuselahs as well as their early
tragedies. Some ships are born to
life upon the seas weak and mis-
shapen. Others. through the proved
eugenics OF the shipyard-the mating
of sound timber, the joining of stout
beam and flawless plank-fare forth
In vigor of strength and grace of
line, fitted for long careers in the adj
venturouS field of their predestined
activities.
Man is taught that If he will keep
himself In good condition he will pro-
long his years. The skill of the sur
geon is at his command in the event
of accident or diseased part that
can be cut away. The condition of
wood ship is in the keeping of the
master Of the ship, and as ship sur
gerry is an exact science, its life may
be prolonged indefinitely.
Some wood ships grow old after
the manner OF some man, shifting
their occupations to match their fall
ing strength. until decrepit and hope
less, they rot their lives away in utter
uselessness. Others retain the vigor
Of youth and not only earn their own
their days.
The "Dashing Wave built on the
Pacific coast in 1854. and therefore
81 years old, is still in active opera
tion on the coast, and, it is reported,
is carrying perishable cargo and car
rying it dry. Recently she put to
her credit eleven round voyages be-
tween Tacoma. Washington, and San
Francisco, within period OF twelve
calendar months.
Wood ships OF today can be and
are as stoutly built as those of other
days. and those built in answer to
the demand OF the hour, served a
useful purpose in the war and will
now pass on TO the pursuits of peace.
There is a record of performance be-
hind them and they are in active SER
vice today. Those that are being sold
by the United States shipping board
are being sold from active service
with the exception of wooden hulls
in which no machinery has been in
stalled. The fleet OF wooden ships
will aid in giving the proper balance
to the new American merchant ma
rine which is expected TO travel all
sea lanes in the development of the
foreign commerce of the nation.
Yards that have been released from
government service especially those on
the Pacific coast. have announced. that
they will continue the construction of
