' Tho famous ferro-concreto steamer Faith, which was the subject of much comment all over the world when rho waß launched at San Francisco, last year, nud was looked upon as tho beginning of a now era in shipbuilding was lately sold to tho. French-American Lino for 453.CC0 dollars (£M,OCO). The Faith is a vessel oi 3WC torn gross, 320 feet long, 44 feet 0 inches in breadth, and 30 feel in depth. Judging by tho big freights she had had since launching, she must have paid her owners handsomely, despite the fact that she does not carry tho same quantity as a steel steamer of similar dimensions. The Groat Northern Shipbuilding Co. oi Van. couver have evidently thought that tho Faith has justified what was cipcctcd of her, for recently this company have launched five new concrete steainerf, from their yards, and havo named them tho Wl, W2, W3, W4, and W5.
