Shipbuilder Says Four-Fifths
Of Ocean Ships Would Be
I Abie to Navigate
Channel.
i , - .
jDuluth, Minn., Tune 4. (Special
Telegram.) four-fifths of the ships
rifivr tailing the high seas will be
able to navigate the Great Lakes as
6on as a deep channel is. provided
tip the St. Lawrence river, C v
West, shipbuilder of Manitowoc,
Wis., told the international joint
commission at Duluth. Mr. West
based his statement on statistics fur
nished by Lloyds' register of ship
ping, the largest register in the
yforld. He said that a larger per
centage of the ocean ships would be
able to ascend the St. Lawrence in
a-30-foot channel, but that four-fifths
df all the ocean freighters would
he able to navigate the prevailing
channels of 22 feet in the lake ports
and in the connections between the
lakes. '
O. P. B. Jacobson, a member of
the railroad and warehouse commis
sion of Minnesota and a former
sailor, declared that sea captains
generally believed the St. Lawrence
deep water way project feasible and
that directors of ship lines would
show no hesitancy in sending ocean
vessels into the lakes.
Mr. Jacobson said he formed this
opinion after conversation with
scores of sea captains at the port of
New York and after consulting with
a commissioner of the Norwegian
American steamship line. -
The testimony of West and Jacob
son opened the high commission's in
vestigation of the shipping aspect of
the St. Lawrence navigation and
power project.
Mr. West said , Lloyd's register
gave the following table of number
of ships in the world: Less than
1,500 tons, 12,500; from 1,500 to 3.000
tons, 3,251; from 3,000 to 7,000 tons,
5,000; over 7,000 tons, 3,000; over 15,
000 tons, 238.
"The limiting draught of 22 feet
in the Great Lakes will accommo
date ocean type vessels of 6,500 to
7,000 tons dead weight," Mr. West
said.
Mr. West said he did not believe
ocean vessels would enter the lakes
and compete with the lake type ves
sels in -inter-lake freight movement.
He" said lake carriers cost ' $100 a
dead weight ton, and ocean vessels
from $150 to $185 a .ton. He said
it would be impossible for the ocean
vessels to compete with the lake car
riers in movement of coal and ore,
but Jthat the ocean ships could easily
carry grain, but' not as economical
ly as the lake carriers.
"A large ocean fleet could be
marshalled to handle the fall grain
crop," Mr. West said. "They would
get out of the lakes at a safe time
before the close of navigation, so
that they could continue to travel on
the high seas in winter." "
