Zimmerman, .Bugene 45,145.07. 1. 480 Building Ocean-Going Vessels in Canada HE question of establishing ship- building yards in Canada - for the construction of steel ocean- going vessels of the largest class, and the construction of dry docks for the repair of such vessels, on both the At- lantic and Pacific coasts, is attracting considerable attention in the Dominion and in Great Britain at the present time. The increasing number and size of the vessels frequenting the ports on both oceans is bringing into prominence the great lack of facilities at present existing for the repair of vessels, and the present political situation in Europe has something to do with the anxiety of British ship builders to provide them- selves with yards far removed from the anticipated scene of probable warfare. So far as the dry dock Situation ts concerned there are three docks in Can- ada capable of accommodating large ocean-going vessels. They are: The government dock at Halifax, N. 58.; the Davie dock at Levis, Que.; and the government dock at Esquimalt, B. C. To these might be added the Reid dock at St. Johns, Nfld. The Halifax dock is scarcely used for commercial ves- sels, so that the only available dock in Canada, for vessels engaged in the trans-Atlantic trade, is that at Levis. During the financial year ended March 31, 1908, this dock was occupied for 260 days by 26 vessels of 43,162 tons. Of these vessels, the largest were the Allan liner Corinthian, 6,227 tons, and _ the Dominion liner Ottawa (formerly Ger- manic) 5,071 tons. The Esquimalt dock was occupied during the same pe-. riod for 158 days by 24 vessels, the largest of which were Suveric, 6,585 tons; Admiral Exelmans, 6,029 tons; Indravelli, 5,805 tons; Fukui Maru, 5,339 tons. In regard to the dock at Esqui- malt, it being a government one, the Canadian and the British governments have a prior claim to place their ves- sels in it, therefore its usefulness for commercial vessels is restricted. Its situation on Vancouver island, away from Victoria and Vancouver, where the commercial vessels arrive and de- part, however advantageous it may be for naval purposes, is not altogether convenient for commercial vessels. Annual Subsidy of 3 Per Cent. In 1903 the Dominion government passed an act whereby an annual sub-. sidy of 3 per cent fora period of 20 years on the cost of a dry dock not to exceed $1,000,000 might be paid to any company constructing a dry dock in ac- cordance with plans first submitted to and approved by the department of public works. During the session of 1908-9 an amending act was passed mak- ing such subsidy payable on a sum not exceeding $1,500,000. The first and only company to take advantage of the pro- visions of this act was the Vancouver Dry Dock & Ship Building Co., with which the department of public works entered into an agreement May 31 last for the construction of a floating dock in the harbor of Vancouver, having a length of 486 ft. by 66 ft. in width, with a tonnage of 11,000. This dock will be constructed in England by Swan & Hunt- er, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and shipped in knockdown condition to Vancouver.
