figure ever recorded in the history. of the Society.

Moreover,-at-the end of the period under review, there were under con- atruction throughout the world, to the Society's classification, 382 ves- |sels, of 1,779,853 tons.

The aggregate of shipping họld- Ing, or Intended to hold, the class!-

|fication of Lloyd's Register amounts,

therefore, to 10,021 vessels, of near- ly 32 million tons gross.

Of the 1,779,453 tons referred, to [as being under construction at the end of June to the Society's classi fication, 1,047,270 tons were being built in Great Britain and Ireland. and it is satisfactory to report that the last mentioned figure constitut- ed over 87 per cent. of the total tonnage under construction at home.

Since the jend of June, 1927, 74 vessels, of 456,187 tons, have been constructed under the Society's superintendence. It may be mentioned that all these vessels, with the exception of one of 2,694 tons, are intended for the carriage of oil in bulk.
