P. & O. LINE'S ONLY TURRET

SHIP.

Closing entries have been placed by Lloyd's Register of Shipping against the Japanese steamer Taiyu Maru, which has been broken up at Yokohama. She is particularly interesting, as she was the only turret deek aleamer which the F. and O. Line ever owned, although their rival companies to the East were very keen on them when she was built thirty years age, and found that they were a great ad- vantage in many ways, atates the Journal of Shipping.

Like all other turret steamers,

she was built by Messrs. William Doxford, and was a purely cargo steamer of 5,995 tons gross with triple-expansion engines giving her a speed of 11 knots for a long voy- age, and bunkers arranged to re- duce the stops for conting purposes to a minimum. She left London on her maiden voyage to China and Japan in May, 1900, her commander being Captain G. W. Babot, and she soon proved herself a most success- ful carrier of bulk cargoes and quite an economical ship.
