August, 1925 to prevent orders going abroad. If it was not for capital every one would be unemployed, and the country would be like Russia, which had destroyed capital. Shipbuilders had given up all profit, and shipyard workmen had also made sacrifices and co-operated, but sheltered trades, especially railwaymen and miners, were keeping up costs. The miner should work longer hours. Summers Hunter, chairman of the North Eastern Marine’ Engineering Co. suggested that the government should take more active steps in sav- ing the shipbuilding industry. There was nothing wrong with British ship- yards in equipment, brains and work- manship, but continental shipbuilders had organized to secure work. e Eg Eo HE motor vessel THISTLEROS, built by D. & W. Henderson & Co., Partick, has completed its trials. The vessel which is the first motor ship built for Allan, Black & Co., Sunder- land, is of the following dimensions: Length between perpendiculars 400 feet extreme, breadth 53 feet 8 inches, molded depth 35 feet and gross ton- nage 4615. Electric auxiliaries are fitted throughout, including winches, windlass and steering gear. The pro- pelling machinery, built and installed by Harland and Wolff is of that firm’s Burmeister Wain type, and consists of one single acting diesel engine de- MARINE REVIEW 315 veloping a normal power of 1850 brake horsepower when running at 90 revolutions per minute. Exceedingly satisfactory results were obtained on the trials. ee LD RATCLIFFE, a large _ ship- owner in the North of England, unveiling the portrait of the donor of £100,000 for the endowment of a home for sailors, mentioned that some of his own ships, which had no cap- ital charges and had been built out of reserves, were coming back from the River Plate without cargo, because there were no freights to be had. Mr. Ratcliffe gave 1,000 guineas to the endowment fund.
