!u. S. Maritime Fleet, Now Small,
! Was Once Envy of tlie World
r
American Ships Formerly
Supreme for Speed,
Seaworthiness.
Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington, D. C.?WNU Service.
IONG before steamboats
came into use, sailing ships
had already explored the open
waters and inhabited coasts of
practically the whole world.
Profits were enormous, too.
Often on a single voyage to
India for pepper and spice, or
to China for silk and furs, a
ship would enrich its owner for
life.
Colonial American shipping
grew so fast that by 1775 a
third of all vessels engaged in British
trade were American built.
There is little doubt that, during the
last century of sail, American merchant
ships were the world's best for
speed and seaworthiness. Probably
lack of money led to elimination of
the ornate and top-heavy forecastles
and cabins that were characteristic
of foreign-built ships. But simple
superstructures made for trimmer
and handier ships, which were further
improved in speed and maneuvering
by ever developing "stream
lines" and by devising better rigs
aloft, with larger sail area.
Ships Had to Be Good.
Many influences obliged America
to build better ships. Our geographical
position forced us to make very
long voyages; lack of naval protection
meant that we must design
hips speedy enough to show their
heels to sea enemies. Many different
rigs were used, but perhaps the
best-known type, ufttil about 1820,
was the trim armed brig of some
200 tons.
More size and speed came with
the transatlantic packet ship, a trend
accelerated in 1849 by the discovery
of gold in California and Australia.
There followed the enduring glory
of the American clippers, most wondrous
sailing vessels of any age. Unheard-of-speeds,
faster even than
those of many steamers, were attained
by increasing the proportion
of length to beam, by making the
bows concave, and by carrying enormous
spreads of canvas even in
heavy weather. Capable captains
and able seamen "drove" their ships
as ships had never been driven before.
Master designer of Yankee
clippers was Donald McKay, a native
of Nova Scotia, who came to
the United States in 1827. From his
East Boston yard was launched a
succession of history-making ships.
Most talked about and still living
in song and story was the Flying
Cloud. Twice she sailed around the
Horn from New York to San Francisco
in the record for that time of
89 days. During four days of heavy,
favorable gales, she averaged more
than 15 miles per hour.
Mississippi Had Paddle Wheel.
The Mississippi was one of the
earliest naval steamships, at that
period invariably equipped with auxiliary
sail power. She had paddla
wheels instead of a screw propeller.
In 1863 she met her end on the river
for which she was named; Confederate
batteries sank her as she
was following Admiral Farragut in
the Hartford. In the decade before
the American Civil war there wa? a
slow transition from sail to steam
for the motive power of ships, and
from wood to iron for their construction.
England set the pace. In 1859 the
completed the 19,000-ton liner Great
Eastern, a mammoth for her day.
Paddle wheels driven by 5,000-horsepower
engines were designed to give
her 15 knots speed. Forty or fifty
years in advance of her time, she
was unhappily a commercial failure.
Or.cc the Great Eastern's rudder
was disabled during a heavy gale.
The ship fell off into the trough of
a great sea and rolled so violently
as to pitch a cow through a skylight
into the grand saloon, crowded with
passengers! Later this leviathan liner
was used in cable-laying. She
put down the second transatlantic
cable in 1865 and laid four more by
1874.
First Armed Engagement.
Although European navies had already
used armored vessels, the
Monitor-Merrimack duel at Hampton
Roads in March, 1862, was the
first engagement between two such
men-of-war. The Federal Monitor,
"a cheese box on a raft," was an
entirely new type of ship invented

by John Ericsson; her revolving gun
turret set a fashion that still remains
a feature of present-day battleships.
The Confederate Merrimack
(sometimes spelled Merrimac)
was originally a wooden steam
frigate whose upper works had been
replaced by a turtle-backed citadel
faced with armor.
On the day before the fight, the
Merrimack had sent a shiver
through the North by easily destroy

ing two fine Union frigates in Hampton
Hoads. With dramatic timeliness,
the newly built Monitor arrived
frdm New York at night, and
offered combat early next morning.
Her fantastic outline and tiny bulk
amazed the officers aboard the Cobfederate
ship, which was* greeted
with a 168-pound shot fired from an
11-inch turret gun.
For four hours the action was hot
and lively, the ironclads firing at
close range. For both ships, armor
proved to be almost perfect protection.
No one was killed and only
a few wounded. The battle was virtually
a draw, the Merrimack finally
returning upriver to Norfolk. Its
worth proved, armor thereafter became
as essential as guns for menof-war
of the battleship class; now
they can take as heavy punishment
as they give.
Warspite Withstood 27 Shells.
At the historic naval Battle of Jutland
in May, 1916, the British grand
fleet numbered 28 huge battleships
of the dreadnaught class. Although
struck 27 times by big shells, the
heavily armored dreadnaught Warspite
sustained no vital hurt and
kept her place in the battle line
through many more hours of fighting.
The World war brought about a
temporary revival of the American
mercHftnt marine. There was urgent
need for new ships to supply
the armies in France and to feed
the population of the British isles.
American shipbuilders were called
upon to make a Trojan effort. The
world had never before seen such an
epic of shipbuilding. On a single
day, July 4, 1918, 95 ships were
launched from American ways.
By the wartime effort, America's
merchant marine had been augmented
by nearly 6,000,000 tons, and
once more she was a close second
to Britain on the seas. Then, again,
unhappily, the picture changed, and
our shipping went into the doldrums
?but that's another story, and a
long, sad one.
We still have soma busy lines to
the Orient, South America, and Europe;
and recent legislation favoring
subsidies for our merchant ships
will, it is hoped, revive shipbuilding
in the United States.

Over Nation- Strike
A genera] strike of WPA workers
Is spreading throughout tho nation as
this is boing written . . . the strike
is in protest against the new law enacted
by Congress which became effective
July 1. increasing to 130 hours
the work month of those employed
on work, relief projects . . . William
Green, president of the American Federation
of Labor, has ondorsed the
oti Ike . . . all of which appears to
present an issue with the federal government
on one side and organized
labor on the other . . . tho Congress
has enacted that approximately 45
cents an hour shall be the pay for
common laborers employed on WPA
projects, created f.or the express purpose
of providing sustenance for some
of the vast army of unemployed ...
the rate for skilled artisans runs up
to 75 cents to $1.00 per hour . . * the
several different grades of workers
are involved in the strike . . . the
rate of pay seems reasonably fair
considering the government is run[
ning behind by the billions each year
trying to spend itself out of the depression
and creating a national debt
burden that must be paid by this and
future generations far into the future
. . . this strike certainly puts Secretary
of Labor Madam Perkins and the
National Labor Relations Board
squarely on the spot ... in this instance
the federal government is tho
employer . . . Madam Perkins and the
National Labor Relations Board aro
creatures of the government ... in'
every case we have read about up to |
date as coming before the Secretary
of Labor or the board, their decisions
have favored strikers and been adverse
to the employers ... it will be,
interesting to see what they do in this (
case, which will naturally come be-1
fore them as adjudicators of labor disputes
. . . the WPA executives have'
taken the same course as followed by i
many employers?'they have dlscharg-,
ed agitators and others provoking the J
strike . . . citizen employers have been
forced by the decisions of the N. L.!
R. B. to reinstate these agitators . . . |
if the same course is taken with the,
WPA then we have the picture of a
house divided against Itself ... all i
are familiar with the answer to this
situation ... It is not pleasing to con-j
