SHIPBUILDING AT HOME AND ABROAD.

From Mr. John Lambert, Lloyd's agent at Hongkong, we bare received a copy of the Aunnal Summary of Shipbuilding at Home and Abroad for the year 1905. As it affords very interesting randing showing that wo are more than belding our own in this important industry, we give the following from the report:~~~

Daring 1906, exclusive of war ships, 795 vessels of 1,623,168 tons gross (viz., 237 stea imers of 1,604.796 tors and 58 sailing vessels of 1,372 tous) have been launched in the United Kingdom The war ships lanched at both Government and private yarda amount to 28 of 120,801 tons displacement. The total output of the United Kingdom for the year has, therefore, bson 823 reisels of 1.7 2,969 ton War ships

they are specially mentioned.

entpa of mercantile tonnage in the The United Kingdom daring 1005 shows the great increase of $18,000 tons on that of last year, and is the highest on record. The previous record tonnage for merchant vessels (1,524,739 tons) way reached in 1901, and the present. figures are 98.429 in excess of that total. As regards war vessels, however, the total for 1965 is 62,160 tons less then in 191.

It may he mentioned that 999 per cent. of the tonnuge launched has been buill of steel, and that 3887 per cont. is composed of steam Of the total output, 1,261,816 steam tons and 12,415 aniling tons, or 1,273,733 tons in ali

the total tonnage of the former showing s reduction for the year of 20,400 tons. Among foreign countries, the three loading places are held by the United States of America (13) tons), Gormany (255,000 tons), and France (73,000 tons),

The total output of war vessels shows a reduction of about 74,000 lons displacement on the figures for the preceding year.

The total mercantile tonnage reported from the United States shows an increases of over 66,000 tons on that of the previous year, which accounts for 581 per cent. of the total increas in the colonial and foreign output for 1905. The most noticeable feature in the output for the United States is the enormous increase which has taken place in the tonnage built for service on the Crest Lakos, which from an average of 15,900 tons for the years 1901-3, had fallen to 49,000 tons in 1904, and has now reached the record total of over 195,000 tons. This tofal includes no love than 20 steamers of over 6,000 tons grass, whilst it may be men- tioned that only 3 sea-going steel stesters (of between 2,000 and 3000 tons) were launched on the coast. The warship tonge launched in the United States during 1905, amounts to about 94,000 tons displacement, and with the axemption of 1904, is the highest total ever Iaunched in that country.

There have also been launched in this country the steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilie, 8,740 tank, and four other steamors of over 6,000 tons.

The fonnage launched in Franes (73,124 tons) in 1905 shows a decrease of 8,000 tons as com- pared with 1904. The present Egures include the steamer En Provence, of 15,000 tons, launched at Perheet St. Nazaire), and five other steamers of between 5,00 and 7,000 tons, As was the ease in the previous two years no steel sailing vessel was launched in 1965
