MAMMOTH LINERS. PRESENT AND FUTURE.—In • Fairplay” recently it was announced that the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company had contracted with Messrs. Harland and Wolff, Belfast, for the construction cf a vessel larger than the Majestic—that is to say, she will be of about 60,000 tons gross, and presumably faster than the Mauretania, which, although over 20 years old, still holds the record as the fastest steamer afloat. When the Mauretania and Lusitania were constructed they marked a great departure on existing vessels, and it was not until the Berengaria, Leviathan and Majestic were constructed in Germany for the Hamburg-American Line that any real attempt was made to beat them. The Mauretania and the Lusitania cost just under £2,000,000 each, and the money for their construction was supplied by the British Government at a low rate of interest. The Majestic and the Berengaria were purchased by the White Star and Cunard Companies jointly as ex-enemy ships at a cost of less than £1,000,000 each, and no difficulty was experineced in ari'anging for the financing of the deal. The new boat, the keel of which has just been laid at Belfast, Avill probably cost about twice as much as the Mauretania, and in the ordinary course the financing would be a serious matter, even for the richest steamship company.
