Additional Vessels
In my last report mention was
made of the need for additional yes
sells. This has become more acute,
since no. additional vessels were
provided, and the old vessels. which
were intended to replace, are becom-
ing les serviceable each year. In
general, the survey fleet is modern
and efficient, but there are still a
few OF the oil craft-most of then
quite small-Nhich have outlived
their efficient, usefulness and are
even in some cases unsafe for fur
ther operation. Two small vessels
on the Atlantic coast--one of Az
tons displacement and the other OF
1f6 tons--arc inefficient, weak, and
costly of maintenance. These two
could be profi'ab replaced by one
modern vessel of from 500 to 600
tons displacement. Three vessels oil
about so tons displacement are ur-
gently needed for work in Alaska
as tenders to the large survey ves-
sells. At present the survey has
two such vessels. but both are old
and weak, and it is with the great
est difficulty that they are MAIN
tanned in operation this summer
Neither is safe nor efficient
Original photographic and topo.
