WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.—Ship
building. the many-sided task in which
much of America’s mechanical genius
is today engaged as a part of the war
program, requires mechanics skilled
in more than thirty trades, besides an
army of unskilled workers.
With a gigantic building program
ahead, a vast force is employed along
this phase of war work. Today 300,
000 men are at work in the shipyards,
with 350.000 engaged in trades that
provide material for the shipbuilders
Here are the skilled workers who
arc doing the work on the steel ships:
* Shipfitters, blacksmiths. riveters,
rhippers and calkers, drillers, plumb
ers. pipe-fitters, machinists, joiners,
carpenters, pattern makers, foundry
n.en, eoppersmimths. heavy forgers
steel metal workers, furnace men
shearers, punchers, anglesmiths, ship
\\ rights, riggers. hangers, drop
forgers, erectors, bolters up, crane op
erators. locomotive engineers, firemen
loftsmen. painters and helpers in all
these trades.
Sixty per cent of the work on a
ship is in constructing the hull, am'
tin* remaining 4<» per cent is install
ing mechanical parts, deck furnishings
and other equipment that goes to
make the finished vessel.
Obviously it is almost impossible t
i single out one craft that is the most
! important. All contribute in making
tin* finished product, and without any
one no complete ship could result
Loftsmen. however, play a great part
i Ship plans are first made in a draft
ing room on a small scab* (loin
to tin* mould loft a large buildim
with ;i smooth floor of sufficient i/.
to have drawn upon it the plans <
the ship to full si/e the loftsmat
I; shinns tin* templates or moulds <
!
i 1‘ght wood or pap<r Irom which tin
• t«*• * 1 for tin* hull can he laid off nn
marked for shearing, punching, plan
! ning and other operations.
Tin* moulds are mad** from thre<
plans that give shape to the ship
These plans, showing the lines of a
vessel, are the sheer plan or side ole'
vation. tin* half breadth plan and the
body plan or end elevations. The body
plan is most used in making the
moulds, for it shows better the shape
of each frame, beam and floor plate.
'Hu* moulds must be absolutely cor
rect. so that they will join together
properly
i ue snip-liner is pronamy ine one
metal worker whose trade may lie
termed a purely shipbuilding trade,
lie marks off the steel material for
the parts of the vessel’s hull by til
ting the loftsman's mould over the
steel. Drillers also play a big part
in the drilling and reaming of holes.
They are necessary because of tie
rivet holes being punched in the shop
not always coinciding, despite careful :
workmanship. In some cases also j
holes must be drilled on the ship. Tie
unevenness between holes is removed
In reaming, which is merely a slight i
enlargement.
Riveters do perhaps the most spec
taenlar work, the "rata -tat-tat" of
their pneumatic tools having a fasci
nation reminiscent of the anvil of tie 1
village blacksmith. Rivetting holds
the ship together, and a ship's plans
specify every rivet, for each has uj
c ertain function. Chippers and call,
ers trim off or smooth the edges o'
plates, castings and other parts and j
make them watertight Shipwright
install the wooden decks, masts, spar*
and booms. Other ship woodwork is1
done by joiners
Ventilation, piping and light met i
work is done largely in shop by shed i
metal workers Plumbing and piping
also is done in shop by plumbers, ma
chinists and pipe-fitters.
Shop work on the hull proper
done by workmen operating shears,
punches, bending rolls, planers and
other machines, and the frame bend
ers, acetylene burners, furnace men
and anglesmiths perform the prepara
tory work to the erection of plates,
brackets, clips, beams, bulkheads and
parts required for the hull of a ship
T
EFFECTIVE FIB
The new law governing the licensing
and operation of motor boats is now In
full force in the district of Alaska,
according to Deputy Customs Col
lector A1 Norgren.
An entirely new set of regulations
has been promulgated concerning the
licensing of boats, doing away with
the navy control and war numbers
existing since the country first went
to war, and placing the control of
the boats with the customs service. J
All the necessary blanks have arrived \
and the local customs official is now i
receiving applications for the new]
harbor licenses. These must he ac-l
companied by photographs of the mas
ters of the boats, one being attached
to the application and the other he-1
log placed on an Identification card. J
which is given to the master, so he
can prove his identity if overhauled
and examined.
Under the new regulations, which
form part of the espionage act, all
boats propelled by sail or motor power
in whole or in part, and all other craft
over twenty feet in length, must he
especially licensed by tin* customs
house.
Boats can not run at night unless
their licenses are indorsed on the
face by the customs official, the mas
ter of the craft being required to es
tablish to the satisfaction of the of
ficial the need or such operation.
lTndoeumented yachts, motor boats
and craft used exclusively for pleas
lire purposes, operating under a spe
cial harbor license, may proceed from
one port to another without being re
quired to report at the customs house
at the port ot destination, on a spe
■ ial permit to be issued by the cus
toms officer showing the names of all
passengers, whn^c loyalty i- vouched
for by tlie master of tlm boat Such
vessels owned by persons residing it
a place not a port of entrv ma> cruise
in the immediate vicinity of residence
ot the owner under license, or may
proceed from the home port or resi
dence of the owner to a port of entry,
conditioned upon report to the cus
toms house on arrival Term permits |
may he issued in special cases to un
documented vessels used exclusively
for pleasure purposes for a period of
thirty days without reporting indi
vidual trips, and subject to further re
newals by indorsement for like pe
riods. Such . special permit will be
valid only w hen the boat is in charge j
of the owner or master named in the
permit.
All applications for license should
be made in person by the master and
owner of a boat, and not by mail. In ■
the ease of n change of masters a new j
application must be made and the
name of the new master indorsed on ^
the license. If the ownership is
changed a new license must be ob-j
tained.
Licenses will be issued only to resi
dents of the Lnited States and citi
zens of allied or friendly countries.
Any vessel operating without the
license by tlie new legislation will be
deemed guilty of a breach of the es
pionage act.
While the requirements or the new |
regulations may look unnecessarily j i
harsh or ridiculous where ownership j
ir a matter of common knowledge, it j
must be remembered that the law was
drawn to cover all ports of the United;
States. In the cities of the east |
coast, particularly, there are many
thousands of boats whose owners are
unknown to the officials, and woo
might at any time permit the use ..1
their craft for purposes inimical to
the last interests of the country. TN-1
•aw was made in four these boa's,;
,ipd owners in litis par! ol ihe coin-1
try. far removed from the main seat
. f war. will cite-i full-.' comply with I
the l ather couij ;ox re, clations.
