THE MARINE RECORD. FEBRUARY 8, 190°. SHIPBUILDING RETURNS—TONNAGE BUILDING UNDER CONTRACT OR ORDERED AT THE COAST SHIPYARDS OF THE UNITED STATES. The following statement shows the steel vessels reported under construction or under contract at shipyards on the seacoast of the United Statesin January, 1900, the state. ment concerning merchant vessels being furnished in re- sponse to inquiries addressed on January 17 by the Bureau of Navigation to the managers of the yards. The statement , concerning war vessels is furnished by the Navy Depart- ment. The vessels are all steam vessels; no steel sail ves- sels having been reported at the present time. The returns cover 50 war vessels, of 140,313 tons (displace- ment.) Besides these Congress has authorized six war ves- - gels of 76,500 tons (displacement), contracts for which have not been let. Ten steamships of 81,600 gross tons are re- turned as for the foreign trade; two for the Pacific Mail - Steamship Company ; two for the International Navigation - Company; three for the Oceanic Steamship Company - (Spreckles), and three for the New York and Cuba Mail S. -. §. Co. All of these vessels are eligible for subsidy under - the ocean mail act of 1891. The three Oceanic steamships necessarily stop at Hawaii en route to Australia, and the two Pacific Mail Steamships may stop there en route to i Asia. For the Hawaiian trade four steamships of 26,500 2 ‘i gross tons are reported, and for the coasting trade 45 vessels of 76,007 gross tons. _ The statement should not be construed as indicating the tonnage which can be built and launched on our seaboard during twelve months, as it is greatly in excess of that” amount. Some of the war vessels have already been about three years in building, and others require more than a _ year to complete. Some of the merchant steamships will not be launched in more than a year, and some have been ee contracted for but not begun. ' - 4 The report is believed to include all the seacoast yards ere steel construction is now in progress, the tons given are gross. Inquiries addressed to the following, however, have not been answered : John H. Dialogue, Camden, N. J.; S. W. Skinner & Co., Wilmington, N. C.; Crescent Ship- _* building Co., Elizabethport, N.
