The comparisons are affected by the consideration that grent im-, provements have been secured in the designs of hulls and engines since this class of ship was taken as a standard; the costs of building a vessel to such specifications as many owners would now desire would be considerably more than that of con- structing ship of this particular typʊ.

Subject to such considerations the market value in June of a vessel of the simple type described is put at only 132,000 which compares with £41,950 in June, 1831; £32,000 in Jane 1980, and £60,000 in June.
