OC ee ae MERICAN ship builders turned out a slightly larger tonnage in 1914 than in the previous year; the total was 270,962 tons, against 265,- 580 tons in 1913. A large proportion of the tonnage was for the government, in- cluding battleships, submarines and de- stroyers. Tonnage built on the Lakes and Pacific coast was light. Among the more notable vessels were the Cramp- huilt steamers Great Northern and Northern Pacific for service between the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards. The legislative program and the open- ing of the Panama canal have not as vet had any appreciable effect on the ship building of the country. 1914 1913. Ves:Tons, I: H. P.- Tons: Dockyard vessel.
