Wooden Shipbuilding.

There are very encouraging accounts of the prospects of the, building of wooden ships of stand- ardised pattern in Australia. Shipbuilders bave discovered that Australian gums are ideal timbers for the purpose. The continent abounds with forests of these trees, and it has been found by experience that ships built of this wood last twice as long as the wooden ships of other countries. The wood of the eucalyptus is particularly suitable for keels and stems. In Australia there are many hulks which in their time were, famous clippers. Shipbuilders say that these hulks, which are still staunch and watertight, can be quickly re fitted to take their place again as produce carriers. Firms in New South Wales have informed the Government that they are ready to turn out suxiliary ships as rapidly as the demand is made
