tiore.
A type of steamer for which there is an increasing demand is that designed for the carriage of oil in bulk. Fourteen of these russels have beon classed since June, 1907,
and have all received the 1001 charsitor. At the present time there are no less than 27 oil carrying vessels with a total tonnage, of 128,473 tons under construction with a view to classification in Lloyd's Register Book. During the year numerous vessels
of special types have received the Society's
A1 Class, which is provided for vessels, intended for particular purposes, or limited voyages, for which a hih rate of speed, or shallow draft is essential.
The numerous yachts classed by the Society during the year includo the fine steam yachts, Inlanda, 1,647 tone, and Liberty, 1,607 tons built at Laith; the Cassandra, 1,227 tons, built at Greenock; and the turbine yacht Vaandis, 1,092 tons, built at Glasgow. In the course of the year the plane of 354 vessels intended to be built of steel, 42 of wood, and 3 coraposite-making a total of 599 vessels were submitted for the Committee's consideration, with a view to the op- proud of the vessels For classification by the Society. The tonnage in course of construction under the inspection of the Society's Surveyors at home and abroad, on 30th Jime last, was 745,08 tons. This total, which is 300,000 tons less than thet recorded twelve months previously indicates the serious shrinkage which has occurred in the shipbuilding trade in the course of the year. During the year 611,000 ons 'pi ship and boiler steel were tested by the Society's Surveyors at home and abroad.
At the present time there are eteel manufacturing firms in the United King dum, and 145 abroad, recognised by the committee for the production of steel for use in the construction of vessels and machinery intended for classification in Lloyd's Register Book.
