THE MARINE REVIEW IHE BRITISH SHIP GLENESSLIN, ASHORE OFF NEAHKAHNIE MOUNTAIN, OREGON. ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE A Remarkable Wreck This remarkable photograph, one of the most unique ever taken, shows the wreck of the British ship Gleness- lin, shortly after she went ashore off Neahkahnie mountain on the Oregon shore a short distance south of the mouth of the Columbia river. The vessel went ashore during the middle of a clear afternoon, the wreck, as the investigation proved, being due to gross negligence on the part of the officers. The vessel ran into the rocky shore at the base of a high mountain with practically all sails set as. the picture shows. Had _ the weather been rough it is likely that all the crew would have been lost, but they had little difficulty in rigging up a breeches buoy from the rigging to shore and thus getting off in safe- ty. The wreck of the vessel has been sold for $560 and there is no possi- bility of getting her off as the coast is very rough and the facilities for salving property limited. The Glenesslin was a representative of the once fine fleet owned by Chas. E. deWolf & Co., of Liverpool. But one more, the Engelhorn, remains of this fleet. The Glenesslin was a steel PHOTOGRAPHS EVER TAKEN vessel of 1,645 tons net, built in 1885 at Liverpool. She had some splendid sailing records to her credit. Wireless Stations Another important step has been taken by the Marconi company in connection with its scheme to com- plete a round-the-world chain of wire- less stations. A contract has been awarded for the erection of Asiatic aerials in the Sandwich Islands, to en- able the station now under construc- tion there' to communicate with in- stallations in the Phillipines, thence to Hong Kong. The range of these sta- tions varies from 4,000 to 6,000 miles, and they are the most powerful ever built. Other installations are being located at Belmar, N. J., and Bolimas, Cal., and in Wales and Norway. Con- tracts were also signed recently for establishments on a different system at Shanghai, Pekin, Canton, Swatow, Hankow, Pratas Islands, Singapore and Penang. Then, again, one of the greatest radio stations in the world is to be constructed for the United States government at Caimito, in the Panama canal zone. It will be able to communicate with San Francisco, and reach into' southern seas as far as Valdivia, Chile, about 420 miles south of Valparaiso, and to Buenos Ayres on the east. The Maritime Association of the Port of New York has sent out invita- tions for its tenth annual dinner to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria, Satur- day evening, Jan. 31. Speakers and guests of international prominence are expected as well as a large attendance of those engaged in advancing the maritime interests of the port of New York. The Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Va., is making additions to its machine shops and foundry, rebuilding power house, and has added a new acetylene plant. The company also contemplates build- ing a new copper shop and new store rooms. The board of commissioners of the Port of New Orleans has employed Marwick, Mitchell, Peet & Co. to make a survey of the situation and to recommend proper mechanical devices for handling freight on the docks.
