THE MARINE RECORD re) VY THE STEAMSHIP ONOKO, It is the fashion for people on the seaboard and Congressmen at Washington to ac. knowledge that there is something of a lake marine about like this: “Oh, ves, they have a number of small schooners and steamers. iv’s a little lake coasting business, and they don’t and can’t employ large craft. Compare the cargoes Of.ocean craft with those of the little lake craft. Why, a good sized ship leav- ing New York would carry several of tho-e luke hookers, Cargoes, masts, smokestack-, andall.” The Inter Ocean has already shown that Chicago has a great many more eratt arriving and clearing all the time than all the principal seaports combined, and it ean show now that many of our steamers and sail vessels are 2,000 tons register and over, and carry from 2,000 to 3,000 tons of a cargo each. The seaboard people and the Con- gressmen certainly cannot make tun of cratt }ke this. And the lakes want deeper water in the connecting rivers aud canals, and want the harbors improved, because still larger eratt are on the stocks and will be put ou the stocks just as soon as the depth of water in the bad places in the rivers is increased and as soon as the canals. are enlarged, Various plans are talked of for reviving the Ameri- cau ocean marine. Here is a prosperous lake marine, worth more now than the ocean marine, and lake shipping and com- mercial interests demand that it be fostered and encouraged. ‘Their demand is not great All they ask ‘is that good channels be fur nished by the General Government. They ask no subsidy or aid. All they wantis good water and safe harbors, Harbor improve- ments have been commenced at various places on all the lakes, and if the river and harbor bill of this session does not pass all the work already done will be destroyed. ‘The steamship Onoko built by the Globe Shipbuilding Co., Cleveland completed tak ing on acargo of oatsin Chicago for But- falo. It is the largest cargo ever taken on by a lake craft, and shippers and vesselmen are justly proud of it. It is 163,858 of bush. oats. The record of the largest cargoes is now as follows, all oats: Bushels. Steamship Lehigh, Anchor Line Schooner George W. Adams... Steamship Onoko (last season).
