SOME years ago plans were prepared to the order of a French company for a motor-driven, 120-foot ship, which would carry 120 passen- gers across the Atlantic at 60 mp.h. Driven by 4,000 h.p. engines, and costing only £25,- 000 each, these little ships the waves would skim over instead of ploughing through them.
Naturally such midgets could not brave the North Atlantic rollera, but advanced designers state that the "stepped" prin ciple might be modified and applied to the construction of fairly large ships..
When travelling fast in calm weather the shape of their hulls would tend to decrease their draught considerably and so cut down the resistance of the sca

Ultra- light construction would be essential, but modern advances in metals and design have made that possible.
These liners would be rapid (it is stated) that they could sail round most storms, but if one were caught by heavy sens it could reduce speed and wallow along in the ordinary way. In flat weather it would skim along at 50 m.p.h.
