Ships Lost by Breaking in Two
Important questions are raised Oklahoma which should not be loat sight of in the tragedy of the tife-loss and the remark ble
of escape part of the crew. This
ship was comparatively new built no longer ago than 1908- with a gross tonnage of about 6,000. But either when balanced on top of a wave or when lifted up end and end by two waves, it broke in two apparently as quick- ly and as cleanly as if of Hollow box cod under a knife,
That its bulkhead construction 155 of the beet is indicated by the fact that the stern belf raced slong for some time under a fall - head of team and nearly ran down the bow half, which kept afloat antil sunk by the cannon- shot of a derelict-destroyer.
If one freight ship of sppt- rently the best modern construc- tion can thus bresk in two under the mere atross of wave motion, why may not othere, including passenger vessels, be exposed to the same danger? As a matter of fact they are, and have in many cases succumbed to the test.

August, 1912, the British Dacre Castle was lost in the same way, and in July of last year, the Japanese Manchu Mara.
Un loubtedly many of the ships which have left port and never been heard of afterward dis- appeared from the same cause.
The Oklahoma WAS 419 feet long, or about half he length of the average trace Atlantio liner, and as length increases, the ralativa ngitudinal strength amidships necessarily decreases. Nor is the Ingest ship lost long enough always to be eare of never being balanced at the top of a single wave or never exactly bridging two waves. Such positions 870 doubtless rare to the biggest vessels, but ship builders do not appear to be as sure they should be that the strain could be withatood if it ever came.
