VANCOUVER AS A WORLD PORT.— Vancouver’s growth as a world port continued in 1929. Grain storage space increased by 3,750,000 bushels to a total of 14,350.000; a loan of 10,000,000 dollars was granted by the Federal Government to the Harbour Board, and four new steamship lines included Vancouver as a port of call, bringing the number of deep sea lines operating out of the port to 49.

NEW P. AND O. LINERS ORDERED. —The Peninsula and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have placed orders with Vickers-Armstrong, Ltd., for two passenger vessels for the Australian service. The ships, which it is understood will be of approximately 20,000 tons, and have a speed of about 20 knots, are to be built at Barrow. The order has been placed at a very difficult time. Owing to the suspension of naval work and the doubt as to the future naval programmes, considerable concern has been felt in the town as to employment in' the near future. It is the largest individual order secured by the Barrow works during the last 3 0 years, ancl work on the ships will absorb an average of 2,500 men for nearly two years in Barrow alone. If the indirect work which will be provided by the supply of materials from different parts of the country is taken into consideration, it may reasonably be assumed that the total number of people who will find employment from the contract will not be fewer than 5,000 during the period in which the ships are under construction. The vessels will be propelled by turboelectric machinery manufactured by the British Thomson Houston Company, of Rugby, acting in collaboration with Vickers-Armstrongs, Ltd. In view of the experience gained in the Viceroy of India and other large vesesls, it has been decided by the P. and O. Company to adopt Yarrow high-pressure boilers in the new-liners. The, boilers for one ship will be built by Yarrow and Co., at Glasgow. nnd those for the second vessel by VickersArmstrong. Ltd., to the designs of Yarrow and Co.

SAILING SHIP INTEREST REVIVED. —An interesting feature of recent shipping news has been the revival of interest in sailing ships occasioned by the loss of the four-masted barque Garthpool on Bonavista Island. Cape Verde. Sir William Carthwaite, the shipowning baronet, is so depressed about the loss of the last of Britain’s windjammers that he is considering the construction of a sailing ship which is estimated to cost about £45,000 to £50,000. The co-opera-tion of shipowners and shippers of cargo to Australia is being sought, since, although Sir William has been so keenly interested that he has sacrificed from £3,000 to £4,000 a year in running the Garthpool at a loss, he does not see why he should continue to do so on account of not being able to geA outward cargo. 3Te thinks that owiu;rs will be interested in assisting to run a new vessel as a cargo carrier and a cadet-training ship combined, and that shippers of outward freight which is regularly sent from London and elsewhere should send cargo by the ship, even though the voyages would take longer, to help pay for the services she would render in producing real sailors of the old self-reliant type, schooled alow and aloft to handle sail as well as study in the classroom. There is no reason why shipowners and shiprfs should not help to make the proposition pay in this as in other countries thiit have adopted such schemes. Perhaps, now that California lias decided to adopt a sail-training scheme, it may pay owners to go further into the question.

PORT OF NEW YORK.—A convincing answer to recent propaganda against the facilities and services at the Port of New York is offered by the shipping of 2.000,000 tons of the annual foreign commerce of the Philadelphia area through the Port of New York, according to the Bureau of Commerce of the Port of New York Authority. These figures were secured, the bulletin srates, from a survey made by the Philadelphia Ocean Traffic Bureau and include freight originating in the Philadelphia district for export or imported into that zone. Corresponding popularity for the Port ot New York as a cruising centre is also pointed out. Seventy-eight cruises alreadv booked by various steamship lines will be patronised by 30,000 people, the Port Authority estimates. This does not include the thousands who travel on the regularly scheduled vessels operating on their usual commercial routes. These cruises are many and varied. At this time 48 cruises are scheduled to the West Indies during the winter and early spring months, 21 to the Alediterranean, two to South America and seven round the world. Another example of the wide appeal of the Port of New York as a transhipment point comes to light in the cargo list of the motorship Santa Araria, which sailed from New Y'ork November 21 for Peril and Chilean ports. The Santa Alaria carried 40 tons of fresh meat which had been shipped from New Zealand to Callao, Peru, via London and New Y'ork, on account of the superior refrigeration facilities and frequent services which could not be found in any direct sailings.
