All of these vessels are for delivery next season, four at least, for the opening of the season. The Great Lakes Engineering Works have under construction one _ 600- foot freighter for the Pittsburgh Steamship Co. ordered Nov. 12, last year. This freighter will be similar to the RicHarp V. LinpApury and JOSHUA A. HATFIELD, built in 1923. ° She will be 600 feet in length over all, 580 feet in length of keel, 60 feet in beam and 382 feet deep. The power will be one triple expansion engine and scotch boilers buring coal. A vessel similar to the one de- scribed above was ordered from the Toledo Shipbuilding Co., Toledo, O. at the same time. These two vessels are expected to be ready early next season. Six of the total of eight vessels are under construction or will be laid down at the Lorain yard of American Shipbuilding Co., Lorain, O. Of these six steamers, three are for the Interlake Steam- ship Co., Pickands, Mather & Co., Cleveland, managers; and one each, for the Kinsman Transit Co., In- land Steamship Co. and _ Bradley Transportation Co. One of the three steamers for the Interlake Steamship Co., and the last one ordered, will be the largest ore carrier ever con- structed for the Great Lakes. The Bradley boat is to be a self-unloader and will have turbo-electric propul- sion. She will be similar in many resvects to the T. W. ROBINSON. also turboelectric and completed in 1925. Joins Munson Line Frank C. Munson, president of the Munson Steamship Lines recently announced the election of Wilson B. Keene, as vice president of the Mun- son Steamship Lines in charge of the New York-South American freight traffic. Mr. Keene has been in the shipping business: since 1905, Before joining the shipping board he was vice- president of the Savannah New York Transportation Co. His connection with the shipping board began as traffic manager and he was _ later promoted to vice president in charge of traffic for the Fleet corporation until his resignation last summer. He was the leader of a group who entered a bid for the shipping board’s Oriental Mail Line which was _ ulti- mately sold to the Dollar interests.
