February, 1917 SYSTEM OF SHIP BUILDING Experience has proved that this system gives increased strength, increased cubic and deadweight capacity, reduced cost of maintenance, and reduced vibration at no greater first cost than a vessel of similar dimensions built on the transverse system. Owners who are contemplating the con- struction of new vessels, of any type what- ever, will find this system of construction most advantageous and suitable for all trades. 603 vessels—representing about 4,469,000 tons deadweight carrying capacity and 265 bulk oil carriers—representing about 2,397,800 tons deadweight carrying ca- pacity, have been built or are now on order, including a good many repeat orders from owners who have tried the system.
