CALIFORNIA’S SISTER SHIP. The keel of the second liner for the International Mercantile Marine Company's Panama Pacific Line, a companion to the California, 22,000 tons gross, the largest steamship yet bailt in an American shipyard. has been laid on the same berth at the yard of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, from which the California was launched in October. Fabrication of frames and plates for the new vessel has been going on for some months, and construction of the hull is expected to progress rapidly, it being anticipated that she will bo readv for launching in 13 months. It is probable that she will be named Virginia. She will be practically a counterpart of the California, and will have the same form of propulsion i.e., turbo-electric drive, with oil-fired boilers. Pier twin driving motors, which are rated at 17,000 h p.. are practically completed at Schenectady (New York).
