COAST SPEEDS
.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.—Pacific
coast shipbuilders may double their
original allotment of 1,250,000 tons of
new shipping in 1918.
From Puget sound to San Diego
practically every harbor is building
ships of some sort at top spoed, and
nearly a dozen new yards will be in
operation before the end of the year.
The Skinner & Eddy corporation,
Seattle, vhich launched the first ship
for the Emergency Fleet corporation,
established a world's record for quic1
construction of a steel hull. The Co
lumbia Shipbuilding corporation,
Portland, broke that record a few
weeks later by dropping an 8,800-ton
steel freighter into the water just
sixty-one lays after the keel was laid.
The Seattle company girded its loins
and launched a hull only fifty-five
days after the laying of the hull, and
turned tlra completed freighter over
to the government in seventy-one days
from the beginning of construction.
Standard specifications freighters of
the 8,800 and 9,400-ton type are under
construction in Oakland, Alameda
and San Francisco. Many have been
launched and several completed. Ex
act figures are held as a war secret,
but two of the world’s largest ship
building companies—the Union Iron
Works and the Moore & Scott com
pany are operating full blast on navy
contracts is well as government
freighter*.
Seattle’s wooden and steel ship
yards launch an average.of two ships
a week. Id 1918 they will launch a
minimum of sixty steel and fifty
wooden vessels. In the week of
March 26 four 8,800-ton steel steam
ships were launched.
At Tacoma three Ferris type wooden
steamships and one 7,500-ton steel
freighter lave been completed, and
twenty m0ie vessels will be launched
within the next four months.
At Portland and Astoria and along
the Columiia and Willamette rivers
In Oregon sixty-seven ships were
launched curing the twelve months
ending Aprl 1. 1918. The Oregon dis
trict’s record for that period netted
600,000 tons—nearly half of the entire
Pacific coast’s 1918 allotment.
A 3,500-ton wooden steamship was
launched at Portland forty-nine days
after the keel was laid.
At Alameda the Union Construction
Company has started work on a new
shipbuilding plant to construct ten
freighters of the 9,400-ton type for
the government.
