February, 1912 this time it had become quite clear that tonnage had been overbuilt and all construction since 1910 has been for shipping interests exclusively. Dur- ing 1911 the shippers built vessels of 55,000 tons capacity, while the inde- pendents built none, nor are there any vessels on the stocks on behalf of the independents for 1912 delivery, though four are under order or under construction for shipping interests. Tt should be added that the marvel- ous increase in loading and unload- ing efficiency during the past three years has been in a fair measure re- sponsible for the apparent surplus of ships, or what is the same thing, the inability of the independent fleet to find full employment. Their ef- ficiency has become so marked that sHips are spending very little time in port and are, therefore, enabled to make a greater number of round trips. This circummstance obviously works to the advantage of the shipper. © Below will be found a list of bulk freighters constructed on the great lakes since 1902. It will be noted that prior to the appearance of the Wolvin in this list all of the ves- sels are in the 300 and 400-ft. class. Since the construction of the Wolvin only one vessel less than 400 ft. in length, the R. W. England, has been constructed on the great lakes for the bulk freight trade; except, of course, the canalers, while 38 vessels of the 400 ft. and over, 105 vessels of the 500 ft. and over, and 25 vessels of the 690 ft. and over class, have been built.
