Big Liners Use 5000
Tons OF Water on Trip

Few people would care TO pay for 9
liners drink for one voyage across the
Atlantic, even in water at a penny per
gallon. Very little change would be
given out of a $500 note.
One of the big Atlantic liners has to
carry about 5000 tons Of fresh water
for all purposes for a single voyage
from Southampton to New York. This
tonnage alone is about two and a half
times the weight of Nelson's old flag
ship IL. NJ. S. Victory, says London Tit
Bits.
A passenger on one of these levia-
thans uses for drinking and domestic
purposes about five gallons a day on
the voyage. And as the ships average
5OOO, passengers and crew, it means
they have to carry, roughly, a weeks
water supply for a small country town
in tanks, neatly slowed away along the
sides of the ship.
But 1t is the giant boilers that have
the greatest thirst. On one voyage the
Berengaria used over 5000 tons of
water, or, at ten pounds to the gallon.
