The object of the trip to England was to secure data with regard to the organization, equipment, and operation of the principal British ports in order that the information obtained and lessons learned might be set down and applied to the problems of the United States Shipping Board in the operation of the commercial fleet, with especial view of obtaining the quickest practicable turn around of its vessels. The study involves central and local port organi- zation, dry docks, repair plants, coal bunkering and cargo coal, oil bunkering, warehouses, transit sheds, handling machinery, railways, tugs, barges and lighters, stevedoring, and other labor. An endeavor was also made, in passing, to secure some information with regard to shipbuilding methods, but the time available was too limited for the study of individual shipbuilding plants. ORGANIZATION. In normal times there is in Great Britain no central control of ports. Authority at such times is wholly local, and is administered in each case by an organization chartered by Parliament. And perhaps in the majority of cases the administration is in the hands of a so-called trust, such trusts being, in realty, corporations operating without profit, for the benefit of the individual ports. In other cases the railroad corporations are entirely in charge, and again, as in the case of the port of Bristol, the entire organization is in the hands of the municipality, as will hereinafter be seen. Where operated by a trust, the board is made up of members of the municipality, of the ship-owning interests and of the shipping community in general; such trusts have the power to issue bonds and to fund them by means of the revenues derived from port dues. Under war conditions, the Port and Transit Executive Committee sat in London as a central organization and was the keystone of the admin- istrative structure for port business. This committee was created under the British defense of the realm regulations, and attached hereto (Appendix 1) is an excerpt from the regulations, being that part of the act which created the committee in question. The purpose was to prevent congestion of traffic in ports and harbors of the United Kingdom, whereby the successful prosecution of the war might be endangered. 3 11 12 ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. The committee is composed of representatives of the Dock Workers’ Union, the Railway Union, the dockyard authorities, the Ministry of Food, the Ministry of Munitions, the War Office, and the port of London, together with the director of transports and director of the port branch of the Ministry of Shipping. The central committee operates through the local committees of the various, ports and harbors, these local committees being known as convoy committees. They are composed of representatives of the local harbor board, the army, the navy, and the shipping interests at the particular port. The most important of these local committees, and the one that has handled the greatest volume of work, is the convoy committee at the port of Liverpool, the workings of which are typical. It has foreknowledge of all incoming ships and convoys and makes immediate arrangement with the local harbor officials for the docking and incidentals thereto, inclusive of the labor to unload cargo. An important element of this combination is the cooperation of the different shipping lines. Whereas in normal times there is the keenest rivalry between the different shipping companies, shipowners have absolutely co- ordinated their facilities for the war-time period and this coordination has produced smooth administrative action. It should be noted and emphasized that the central committee is a firm believer in decentralization, and interferes with the local committee only in rare instances, and then only on account of friction. Should there be such friction, the issue goes up to the naval trans- port officer of the Admiralty. This officer only interferes with the functioning of the local machinery in case of disagreement, or where the central authority may have particlar reason for imposing its will. Attached hereto (marked “Appendix 2’) is a memorandum prepared by Mr. C. C. Wardlow for Com- missioner Stevens on the subject of “The British Port and Transit Executive Committee and the Ports Branch of the British Ministry of Shipping.” This paper gives some additional detail with regard to the committee and its work. ZONING SYSTEM FOR CARGO DISTRIBUTION. Inquiry was made with regard to the general proposition of zoning the territory from which cargo is distributed in order that such cargo may move to the nearest and most available port. We were informed that, while some thought has been given to this subject, it is practically an impossibility so to divide the territory of the United Kingdom that the products of any particu- lar Section may all be sent to any one port. Conditions in Great Britain are quite different from those of the United States, the size of the territory con- stituting the principal difference. The country is so small that it is unneces- sary to adopt a Zoning system to secure efficiency. Under present war conditions the only control of this sort is exercised through the regulation of railway transportation by priority orders. Apparently there are no special warehouses provided in connection with this division of shipments. As of interest in connection with this general subject, there is attached hereto (marked Pl. I) an outline map prepared by the port and transit executive Plate No. I. POPULATION CENTERS, BRITISH ISLES. Radius #5 rºttles front centre.

This map contains a table giving the principal trade centers, the population thereof, and the percentage that each represents of the total population. DRY DOCKS AND REPAIR PLANTS. From the best information available, England possesses 220 dry docks capa- ble of docking ships 350 feet or more in length. These dry docks are, in the main, the property of private concerns, though some of them are owned by the various port authorities. There are, of course, smaller dry docks and marine railways capable of handling the smaller vessels. Repair plants, so far as inquiry in London could determine, are almost exclusively matters of private enterprise. No effort is apparently being made by any central organization to improve the ports of England or to institute a plan for increasing, systematically, repair and dry-dock facilities. BUNIKERING AND CARGO COAL. So far as could be ascertained, coal is never purchased on the basis of thermal units and ash content. The method in this respect is similar to that in vogue with regard to bunker coal for naval vessels in the United States, namely, coal is purchased from specially designated and selected mines and districts. Methods of loading both cargo and bunker coal vary at the different ports, as will hereinafter be described. Difference in cost of handling by the various methods could not be obtained in the time available. OIL BUNIKERING. Under present conditions the only ships bunkered with oil fuel are those of the Admiralty. The oil-burning vessels of the United States invariably carry a sufficient bunker capacity to serve for the round trip. wAREHOUSEs, HANDLING, AND RAILWAYS. So far as could be learned at the ministry of shipping, there is no sys- tem of central warehouses for freight intended for shipment to the various ports. Inquiry with regard to the idea of separate loading and discharging piers developed the opinion that this is undersirable, and that it is unsafe to move a ship from one berth to another, and that this should only be done where absolutely necessary. Mechanical contrivances for handling cargo and for bunkering are hereinafter described in connection with the survey of the individual ports. The greatest cause of delay in the turn around of ships was stated to be the removal of cargo from the transit sheds after a ship has been discharged, 14 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. in order to make room for the next incoming vessel. In this general connec- tion Sir Norman Hill stated that the crux of the matter was found to be one of flow. He compared the entire transportation service to a system of water supply—the railroads being the inflow pipes, the warehouses on the docks the reservoirs, and the ships the outflow pipes, or vice versa. The job, as he con- ceives it, consists in maintaining a steady flow of traffic through the transit sheds. He particularly emphasized the fact that material must not be allowed to accumulate in the reservoir. He further stated that at present the most effective device for maintaining a steady flow of traffic lies in the power granted by the Government under the defense of the realm act to the local harbor authorities for the imposition of penal rates which correspond closely to our demurrage charges. These penalties are enforced not only against private traders, but also against the Government departments, all on the theory that no private enterprise or Government bureau has a right or license to impede traffic. The penalties are adjudged by the local authorities, and are enforced by the port and transit executive committee. As the proceeds go to the local harbor authorities, they are very keen to enforce the penalties, and it has been found that even the Government departments are loath to have such assessments made against them. These penalties are put into effect after 48 hours’ notice, and are doubled every seven days. Various Govern- ment departments have vigorously resisted the levies against them, but the port and transit executive committee has been firm in every instance and not once has it yielded. Under present conditions, labor is the most serious problem. Fourteen days seems to be the average time, both for the present and prewar period, of vessels in port. TUGS, BARGES, AND LIGHTERS. There seems to be absolutely no joint control, under ordinary conditions, of tugs, barges, and lighters. These are matters of private enterprise, and the owners thereof charge for service as a matter of ordinary barter and trade. Exceptions to the rule of private ownership are shown under the descriptions of individual ports. - LABOR AND STEVEDORING. Stevedoring is ordinarily a matter of private enterprise; labor is employedſ both by the day and on piecework, as hereinafter described. So far as war conditions are concerned, labor has been a critical problem from the beginning. The withdrawal of man power for the army created very serious shortage and left at home the less efficient and less-desirable. At the beginning of the war this caused grave congestion, and compelled the Government to create what is known as the Transport Workers' Battalion, which at the present time numbers some 15,000 men. It is a branch of the Home Defense Army, the men being regularly inducted into the military serv- ice, sent to camp, and given military training, at which they spend about half their time. These battalions are on call at all times for service at any port ENGLISEI PORT FACILITIES. 15 in the Kingdom, and this service has since been extended to the railways and canals. The scheme was worked out in connection with the representatives of organ- ized labor, and it was not until the laborers fully indorsed the plan that it was possible to put it into operation. A committee, which controls the Operation, is composed of representatives of labor, the army, the navy, and the port board. This committee must be satisfied in every case that there is a material labor deficiency, in which case it calls for any given number of units of the labor battalion from the nearest military camp. These units report for work, keep- ing on their military uniforms but going off the army pay roll and receiving the same compensation as the civilian dock laborers. Most of the men in the Transport Workers' Battalion are classed as limited-service men; that is, they are not qualified for the fighting units but are more like quartermaster and home-defense troops. As soon as the Supply of local labor has proven to be equal to the demand, the Transport Workers' Battalion troops are returned to the barracks and to drill. In this connection, Sir Norman Hill stated that the great advantage of the Transport Workers' Battalion lies in the stimulus which it furnishes to civilian labor. That is, labor, always anxious to maintain its prestige and rights, will not, if it possibly can help it, permit a situation to arise where the soldier laborers are needed. For this reason, loafing and slacking have been reduced to a very marked degree. It was impressed upon us that these battalions are in no case used as strike breakers, this condition having been imposed by organized labor. An- other advantage pointed out for the battalions lies in the mobility which results from their being concentrated at near-by points, ready for service at a moment's notice. The local committee that controls the labor situation is appointed for the individual ports by the port and transit executive committee. Atached hereto (marked “Appendix 3’) is a memorandum from the port and transit executive committee to the Secretary of the Ministry of Shipping, this memorandum being a summary of information supplied by Lieut. Col. Hawkins, C. N. G., of the port and transit executive committee. Attached to this exhibit are also three pamphlets as follows: A. Transport Workers' Battalions. B. Railway work. C. Canal work.

MEMORANDUM IN REGARD TO THE WORIK AND TRAFFIC AT THE GREAT PORTS OF GREAT BRITAIN. Attached hereto (marked “Appendix 4”) is a copy of a memorandum pre- pared by the port and transit executive committee with regard to work and 16 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. traffic at the great ports of Great Britain. It is of interest here to state that the ports enumerated, with the exception of Leith and Dundee, are the same as those given us by Sir Norman Hill in connection with our itinerary of in- Spection and survey. The memorandum gives statistics concerning 12 ports, together with other interesting statements. Attention is particularly invited to the following, which is believed worthy of repetition in the body of this report: If the requirements of all interests concerned in the work and traffic at the ports of the United Kingdom are to be coordinated, the following points must be borne in mind by the Admiralty, the War Office, the Board of Trade, and the Ministry of Munitions: - First. The regular flow of general traffic through the great ports must be maintained to enable the nation to exist and the war to be fought out. TO enable this to be done : - (A) A sufficient supply of labor must be provided and maintained in the great ports. (B) A Sufficient Supply of the port appliances, such as carts, lighters, and tugs, must be provided and maintained in the great portS. (C) Adequate facilities for distribution to and from the great ports must be provided and maintained. It will not be sufficient to refrain from making further war demands. Those already made upon the great ports, and especially upon their labor, have seriously crippled their efficiency, and this efficiency must be restored. The traffic through the great ports, in so far as the imports are limited to necessities and to the exports to pay for such necessities, is of as great and pressing importance to the nation as the transport services of the Admiralty and War Office or as the work of the Ministry of Munitions. All of these departments must bear this fact constantly in mind in recruiting and requisitioning and in all other demands they make upon the great ports and upon the railways which serve them. Secondly. The great bulk of the imports for military purposes must pass through the great ports, but every effort must be made to relieve them : w (a) From any extraordinary imports which can be sent through the smaller ports. (b) From extraordinary services for military purposes, such as coaling, fitting Out, dry-docking, or docking of vessels and the movement of troops which can be performed at the smaller portS. * THE PORT OF LONDON. London lies upon the River Thames, some 50 miles from the sea. Orig- inally the river at spring tide spread wide over marshlands, but since early times it has been confined by embankments, and the port may be said to consist at present of many miles of river quays, backed by warehouses, and of a series of wet docks excavated from the land and confined behind lock gates, these wet docks, of course, being provided also with transit sheds, warehouses, etc. Originally the river channel had little water in it at low tide, and, even at present, mud flats are exposed in front of the river quays when the tide is out. There is a tidal rise of some 143 feet at South End near the sea, this rise becoming 16% feet at Gravesend, 18+ feet at Deptford, and 21 feet at London Bridge. Under such circumstances the tidal river is not adapted to ocean-going ships, and for this reason the system of wet basins, or docks, as they are called, behind lock gates, has been established at great expense.

At first shipping used the river only, but as early as 1703 the Howland great wet dock was con- structed. It consisted simply of a 10-acre area of water, the basin of which was excavated from the land. The entrance was equipped with a single pair of gates, so they could only be opened at high water. The dock was without stores or sheds. This area is now a part of the Surrey commercial dock system. Plate II, hereto attached, shows the River Thames from Teddington to Grays; Plate III, from Grays to Warden Point; Plate IV gives, to a larger Scale, that part of the river devoted to the dock systems, ranging from St. Katherine's dock, just east of the Tower Bridge, past the London docks, the West India docks, the Millwall dock, the East India docks, the Royal Victoria and Royal Albert docks, and the Tilbury docks, which are the end of the system and which lie some 25 miles down the river from Tower Bridge. It will be seen that the port as it now stands is based upon facilities provided in the old sailing-ship days, although there have, of course, been very great developments since that time. The old docks in London were built before the railways, and all extensions in their neighborhood have been greatly hampered by the adjoining land having been already occupied for other pur- poses. The modern extensions have been planned with regard to railway distribution and in great measure located away from congested areas. One of the most striking features of the port of London is the extent to which the ocean cargoes are received and broken up, both for export shipment and for internal distribution by water in barges and lighters. The proportion of traffic handled in this way in London is far greater than the proportion so handled in any other port in the United Kingdom. As an importing port London supplies most of the population included in Greater London, which amounts to nearly 15,000,000 people. Much of this distribution is over the roads. The export cargoes which are shipped from London are drawn from a much wider area, vessels used in bringing in the food imports being employed in carrying back the exports of the manufacturers of Great Britain. Another striking feature in regard to London is the large amount of Warehouse accommodation pro- vided by the port authority. This is used mainly for the storage of imports, which are distributed retail, as required for consumption by the population of Greater London. - WEST INDIA DOCK. This dock system was first suggested in 1793 when the West India mer- chants proposed a special dock for their trade. There had been great losses, due to pilfering and fraud, whereby both the owners and the revenue were greatly prejudiced. There was also lack of room for the constant increase of shipping. Although the owners made out a strong case, it was not until 1799 that they were able to get an act through Parliament. This act provides for a compulsory use of the docks by the West India ships for a period of 21 1301.33–19—2 18 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. years, the docks to be inclosed and surrounded by a strong wall not less than 30 feet high, with a ditch not less than 12 feet wide and 6 feet deep outside of this wall, this ditch to be kept filled with water. The dock system consisted of two docks lying parallel one to the other, the West India import dock and the West India export dock. (See Pl. IV.) The West India system was a huge success. For many years it paid a dividend of 10 per cent, and by the end of 1819 accumulated a reserve of £400,000. As will be seen from map, Plate IV, the present dock system consists of three parallel basins, having areas of 26.7 acres, 23.5 acres, and 27 acres, respec- tively, and corresponding depths of 26 feet, 26 feet, and 29 feet below T. H. W. There are smaller basins also, as indicated on the map, between the above- described basins and the river. The quays are lined with storehouses and tran- sit sheds, but, being the oldest dock system, it has not been brought up to date, and has little of value in the way of handling equipment or railroads. LONDON DOCES. It was soon seen that the West India dock system would be a success, and the act for its establishment was quickly followed by a similar act for a “Lon- don dock” for vessels bringing tobacco, rice, wines, and brandy from elsewhere than the East Indies. These docks were opened in 1805. As will be seen from the map (Pl. V), the main basin of the western dock has an area of 16.2 acres, a depth below T. H. W. of 20 feet, and has provision by which water may be impounded to a height of 4 feet 6 inches above T. H. W. The locks are short and have a depth over sill of 20 to 25 feet below T. H. W., with width of en- trance of about 45 feet. Smaller basins in connection with this system are as shown on the map. All are completely surrounded by warehouses. The London docks are used mostly for smaller steamers engaged in coastwise traffic. So far as our present purpose is concerned, this dock system is chiefly inter- esting from the historic standpoint. EAST INDIA DOCES. The success of the first dock system being assured, powers were soon obtained for another dock for vessels from East India and China. This enter- prise became available to the trade in 1806. As shown by the map (Pl. VI), the present dock system consists of one larger and two smaller basins, the areas being 17.04, 7.87, and 6.68 acres, respectively, and the depths 26 feet, 26 feet, and 32 feet below T. H. W., with a provision in two of the basins for impound- ing the water to a height of 2 feet above T. H. W. The locks are small and the use accordingly limited. It is principally a lumber dock, and for the purposes of the present report may be dismissed from further consideration. ST. KATHERINE DOCKS. The acts of Parliament establishing all of the above-described docks con- stituted them as monopolies. Much feeling was created, particularly between Plate No. V. LONDON AND ST.

Opposition increased to the point that the efforts of the dock com- panies to secure a renewal of their monopolies failed, and it became evident that dock systems created in the future would be on a nonmonopoly basis. The first of the new enterprises was the St. Katherine docks, a small system estab- lished near the Tower of London for short-voyage vessels. These do ks were sanctioned by Parliament in 1825, and are chiefly interesting from the historical standpoint. There are three basins (see map, Pl. V), the western dock having an area of 4.04 acres, the eastern dock an area of 4.29 acres, and the entrance basins an area of 1.83 acres, all basins having a depth below T. H. W. of 24 feet. They are surrounded by warehouses, and indeed it was stated that this is a warehousing basin, or, in other words, that buildings are used exclusively for storage. There is no modern handling apparatus, although there is a consider- able equipment of hydraulic gantry cranes, such as will hereinafter be described. The entrance to the basins is limited in both width and length, and only smaller ships, usually not to exceed 1,000 to 1,200 tons, are brought in. The materials in the buildings are distinctly classified, one section being used for wines, another for hides, another for wool, another for drugs, etc. The St. Katherine docks are operated in conjunction with the London docks. MILLWALL DOCEI. The Millwall dock lies just south of the West India dock, as will be seen from the map (Pl. VI). It is an L-shaped system, having an area of 25 acres for the larger basin and 10.1 acres for the smaller basin. The depth of water is 24 feet at mean low tide. The entrance lock has a length of 450 feet and width of 80 feet, with a depth of 24 feet below T. H. W. This dock has a considerable railway system surrounding it, and is used principally for grain shipments. There are several granaries, in front of which are so-called jetty systems, consisting of detached piers parallel to the quay wall, so that barges may be placed between the ship and the quay. Under this system a ship may be loaded or discharged from barges lying on both sides thereof. A suction grain elevator was observed here in operation. Grain is conveyed from ship to barge or warehouse on belt conveyors, which also operate inside the grain elevator. - The granary inspected is capable of unloading 1,500 tons of grain per day of eight hours. ROYAL VICTORIA AND ALBERT DoCKs. These constitute the largest dock system in London, and in fact, it is claimed, in the world, extending, as it does, 3 miles parallel with the river bank. It is situated a short distance below the East India docks. . The Royal Victoria was sanctioned by Parliament in 1850, and the Royal Albert in 1875. The Royal Victoria has a total water area of about 94% acres, 20 ENGLISEI PORT FACILITIES. a land area of 1813 acres, or a total of 276 acres, while the Royal Albert has a water area of 894 acres, which will be increased to 1573 acres when the new dock hereinafter described is completed. The Royal Albert has also a land area of 663} acres, or a total acreage of 821. The depth of water in the Royal Victoria dock is 25 feet 6 inches below T. H. W., while that in the Royal Albert dock is 27 feet below T. H. W., and a provision has been made whereby the water may be elevated to an additional height of 2 feet 6 inches above T. H. W. This dock system, being at a bend of the river, has entrances at both ends. . - The Royal Victoria lock has a length of 325 feet and width of 80 feet, with a depth over the inner sill of 25 feet 6 inches below T. H. W., while the en- trances to the Royal Albert dock have a length of 550 feet, a width of 80 feet, and depths of 36 feet and 30 feet, respectively, below T. H. W. These docks have been improved and are modern in most respects. Description of various details will be given hereinafter. . In addition to the present basins, there is now under construction, and in fact, nearing completion, a new dock parallel to the Royal Albert dock, called the Royal Albert Dock South, which will have an area of 64 acres, a depth of 35 feet 6 inches below T. H. W., and provision whereby water may be im- pounded to an additional depth of 2 feet 6 inches above T. H. W. This dock is provided with the so-called jetty system, which consists of comparatively narrow openwork wharves parallel with the quay wall, the width of the jetty itself being about 25 feet or only such as is necessary for the operation of gantry cranes which are placed thereon. The space between the edge of the jetty and the edge of the quay is just sufficient to accommodate lighters and canal boats of standard width. The gantry cranes have sufficient reach not only to plumb any part of the ship's hatch when the ship lies alongside the jetty, but also to reach over the Space between the jetty and the quay in order to handle goods from ship to quay or quay to ship. Inasmuch as London does a very large barge and lighterage business, distributing much of the im- port goods by canal, it will be seen that these canal boats and lighters are used in lieu of railway cars, and the space between the jetty and the quay takes the place of a single railway track. With these jetties it is practicable to load or unload a ship on both sides at the same time. The arrangement also lends itself to coaling both sides of the ship at the same time. A cross section, to larger scale, shows the arrangement of these jetties, with relationship to the quay. (See map, Pl. VII.) - - - Attention is here invited to the contrast between the Royal Victoria and the Royal Albert docks, the former consisting of parallel quays with the piers projecting from the northerly side, these piers having little or no provision for railways. The Victoria section, having been built many years previous to the Albert section, has not been brought so nearly up to date. The Albert dock consists of two parallel quays with transit sheds lining practically the entire water front, with ample railroad systems both in front of and behind the sheds.

With the exception of the Royal Victoria and Royal Albert docks, they are much restricted as to possible growth and the extension of railways thereto, on account of the closely built city surrounding them. Royal Victoria and Royal Albert docks, it is true, are at a distance requiring somewhat of a long haul to the heart of the city, but, on the other hand, the territory around them is such that railroad development has been possible, and they, with the Tilbury docks, constitute the really modern developments to which it is proposed to devote most of our attention hereafter. TILBURY DOCES. The Tilbury docks are, as heretofore stated, some 25 miles down the river from Tower Bridge. The site, therefore, lends itself to a better development, and on account of the deeper channel of the river, so close to the sea, it has been possible to develop the Tilbury system for the deepest draft and largest ships afloat. This system consists, in the main, of a large rectangular basin, into which have been projected two piers each 1,600 feet long and about 307 feet wide. These piers, or jetties, as they are called in England, and the two sides of the basin are lined with transit sheds of great width and capacity, the railroad system running down the centers of the piers, and between the quays and the buildings, so that each transit shed is flanked on both sides by ample railway facilities. To the basin, as just described, there has also been recently added an extension in a southwesterly direction, the southerly side of which is also lined with transit sheds of great length and width, which, in turn, are flanked on both sides by railways. . This development was sanctioned by Parliament in 1882, and has a water area of about 90 acres, a land area of about 506 acres, or a total of about 596 acres. The depth of the main dock is about 38 feet below T.H.W., and of the extension, 42 feet 6 inches below T.H.W. The main lock has a length of 700 feet and a width of 80 feet, with a depth of 44 feet below T.H.W. on the outer and intermediate sills. It should be added that there is an outer basin having an area of 17% acres, with a depth below T.H.W. of 45 feet. Outside on the river front there is a handsome so-called river jetty, built for the purpose of landing passengers and freight from passing vessels. There is also a coaling jetty. - As may be judged from the description, the Tilbury docks are dependent upon the railway system for the movement of inland freight. Map (Pl. VIII) hereto attached shows the above-described and other interesting details. SURREY COMMERCIAL DOCKS. The Grand Surrey docks were sanctioned by Parliament in 1801, and the Commercial dock, which forms a part of the system, in 1810. This system, as will be seen from the general map (Pl. IV) is the only one located on the South side of the river. It occupies the area encompassed by that bend of the 22 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. river known as the Lower Pool and Limehouse Reach, and consists of a series of basins (see Pl. IX), the majority of which are regularly finished with sur- rounding quay walls, but some of which are nothing more than timber ponds. The Surrey commercial docks have a water area of about 1674 acres and a land area of about 213 acres. Surrey Canal has a water area of about 26 acres and a land area of about 53 acres, or a total for both of 459% acres. As indicated by the date of its authorization, this is an old system and very little has been done to bring it up to date. This is largely because it is used so extensively for the handling and storage of timber, although it also contains storehouses for grain and provisions, with a few general warehouses. Due to the conditions imposed by the war, some of the lumber section has been used for the storage of raw sugar and wool. The buildings are, in the main, high, one-story sheds. Because the lumber and timber are all sorted by hand, very little mechanical equipment has been put into use at this dock system. An official in charge explained that it was very necessary to sort and grade tha lumber, and on that account it was more economical to manhandle it than to use mechanical devices. The depth of water in the various docks varies from 19 feet to 31 feet 6 inches below T.H.W. Individual depths may be ascertained from the map. The northerly entrance locks are quite restricted in dimensions, as will be seen from the map, but the easterly entrance has a length of lock of 550 feet, a width of 80 feet, and a depth of 35 feet on the sill below T.H.W. It is stated that, owing partly to its situation and partly to the special nature of its trade, this dock has always stood apart from the other dock systems, and where active competition has in times past so nearly ruined the systems on the other side of the river, this has continued uniformly prosperous. GENERAL CONDITIONS. A detailed history of the various dock systems above described, together with an account of the quarrels between the several dock corporations and be- tween these corporations as a body and the wharfingers and lightermen, would form an interesting study, but it seems to have no special place in this descrip- tion, Suffice it to say that almost from the date of the first dock authorization by Parliament, there was for many years bitter controversy. These quarrels extended so far that finally it appeared that through competition the dock corporations would ruin each other and lose for the port in general the prestige and volume of trade so worthily gained in the past. To cure this situation, royal commissions of inquiry were appointed at various times. The last of these was ordered in June, 1900, and submitted its report in June, 1902. The conclusion arrived at was that the port was in danger of losing a part of its trade by reason of the inadequacy of the river channels and of docks. The divisio); of powers among different authorities and the financial condition of the docks were also pointed out as further handicaps. The commission recommended that a new authority be created, Plate No. IX.

In the opinion of the commission, the existing distribution of powers between distinct authorities was contrary to the interests of the port as a whole, obviously a very reasonable belief. Finally, the commission recommended the adoption of a scheme in which the London County Council and the City Corporation were to be identified with the financial provisions, with this scheme being coupled a recommenda- tion that the new administrative body should consist of 40 persons, of whom 26 were to be the nominees of bodies or authorities indicated (the London County Council to be entitled to 11 of the 26) and 14 to be elected by the trading interests. The commission's financial proposals were especially coldly received. However, the Government in 1903 brought in a bill in the sense of the report of the royal commission. In the following year, however, it recorded that in the opinion of the Board of Trade it was necessary to drop the bill, and the bill was dropped accordingly. |Unsuspected by the city, however, Mr. Lloyd-George, then president of the Board of Trade, had been for some time employing a well-known firm of accountants to investigate the figures of the dock undertakings, and on the basis so obtained he entered privately, in the spring of 1908, into negotiations with the dock companies for the purchase of their property for transfer to a public authority. An agreement having been thus arrived at, the announce- ment was made that the Government had decided to take over the property of the four companies at a collective valuation of £23,000,000. This large sum did not, of course, change hands in cold cash. It was proposed that the authority to be created would, in effect, purchase the paper securities of the proprietors by giving in exchange for them new paper securities on the basis of the £23,000,000. A comprehensive bill was, in July, 1908, introduced into the House of Commons. ORGANIZATION. The above-mentioned bill provided not only for the transfer of the docks, but for conveying also to the new authority, to be known as the port of Lon- don authority, the powers of the Thames conservancy below Teddington, and of the Watermen’s Co. The Trinity House had from the first protested bit- terly against the proposal of the royal commission so far as it affected itself, and the Government listened to its complaint. The bill, with great prompti- tude, became an act, and the new authority entered into its responsible duties on the 31st of March, 1909, as, with certain exceptions, the single and supreme authority for the management and development of the port. The exceptions 24 ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. referred to are: The Trinity House remains responsible for the lighting and buoying of the river, the metropolitan police are the port's guardians, and the corporation of the city of London supervises the sanitary conditions with regard to shipping. Powers were conferred on the authority to collect tolls on goods—a new departure for the port and one which in itself went far to vindicate the contentions of the now superseded dock companies—and one of the first duties of the new authority was to prepare a schedule of these tolls. This schedule was prepared and ratified and came into operation on the 1st of November, 1910. Under this schedule, transshipment goods are altogether free, the extraordinarily favorable position of London as a world’s market and transshipping port thus remaining unaffected. Other exported goods, in the interests of London's export trade, pay dues which are merely nominal. A great bulk of the income is provided by goods imported for home consump- tion; but here, again, the total value of such merchandise is so colossal that the dues are relatively insignificant. The dock waters, quays, and ware- houses thus passed into the hands of the new authority, the quays and ware- houses of the wharfingers along the river front being left, as before, inde- pendent undertakings. Anxiety was expressed by some wharfingers lest they should suffer in their warehousing business by the competition of the dock warehouses under the new and consolidated control. The authority’s prime object, however, is the welfare and prosperity of the port as a whole, and its members recognized the important part borne by the wharfingers, who, by competing with each other and with the dock warehouses, secured the reputa- tion of the port for cheapness and efficiency. The better to safeguard their interests, the wharfingers have been given the power to elect representatives to membership of the port authority. The constitution of the authority is as follows: Appointed members, 10– One by the Admiralty. Two by the Board of Trade, Two by the London County Council (being members of the council). Two by the London County Council (not being members of the council). One by the city corporation (being a member of the corporation). One by the city corporation (not being a member of the corporation). One by the Trinity House. Elected members, 18— Seventeen by the payers of dues, wharfingers, and owners of river craft. One by the wharfingers. In addition, the chairman and vice chairman may be appointed from łoutside the lmembership of the authority, making the total possible number 30. Altogether, the scheme provides for an eminently practical and businesslike board. Lord Devonport, who was parliamentary secretary to the Board of Trade, retired from this post in order to take up the port chairmanship. The first “elected members” were appointed by the Board of Trade, after consultation with expert authorities. In future years they will from time to time retire, subject to the right of reelection. The following is quoted from the observations of the Royal Commission in its 1902 report: * ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. 25 In conclusion, we desire to say that our inquiry into the conditions of the port of Irondon has convinced us of its splendid natural advantages. Among these are the geographical position of the port; the magnitude, wealth, and energy of the population behind it; the fine approach from the sea; the river tides strong enough to transport traffic easily to all parts, yet not so violent as to make navigation difficult; land along the shores of a character suitable for dock construction and all commercial purposes. In addition to these advantages, London possesses docks which, although they are not in some cases upon the level of modern requirements, are yet capacious and capable of further development. The deficiencies of Tondon as a port, to which our attention has been called, are not due to any physical circumstances, but to causes which may easily be removed by a better organization of administrative and financial powers. The great increase in the size and draft of ocean-going ships has made extensive works necessary both in the river and in the docks, but the dispersion of powers among several authorities and companies has prevented any systematic execution of adequate improvements. Hence the port has for a time failed to keep pace with the developments of modern population and commerce, and has shown signs of losing that position relatively to other ports, British and foreign, which it has held for so long. The shortcomings of the past can not be remedied without considerable outlay. We are, however, convinced that if, in this great national concern, energy and courage be shown, there is no reason to fear that the welfare of the port of London will be permanently impaired. DRY DOCKS AND REPAIR PLANTS. The port of London has 14 dry docks 350 feet or more in length, in addition to which there are numerous smaller dry-docking facilities. When it is taken into consideration that there is a tidal rise, varying from 14% feet at Southend, near the sea, to 21 feet at London Bridge, it will readily be understood that dry-docking accommodations for ships of smaller draft are comparatively simple to obtain, in that it is unnecessary to remove the water from the river-front dry docks by pumpage. Ships can be docked at high water and the water allowed to discharge by gravity. - At the head of the Albert dock two graving docks were observed, No. 1 being 501 feet long with 22 feet depth of water on the sill at high water, and No. 2, 575 feet long with 22 feet 5% inches on the sill at high water. While the dry docks are owned by the port of London authority, the repair shop alongside is privately owned and operated. At the time of inspection this shop was under the control of the Admiralty. There are no traveling cranes or other similar apparatus at these dry docks for handling material. (See Pl. VII.) A new dock basin, parallel to the Royal Albert dock, is nearing comple- tion, and at the head thereof a graving dock 750 feet long by 100 feet wide, with provision for 35 feet of water over the gate sill below impounded water level, was observed. This dry dock has been so constructed that it may in the future be lengthened. There are no cranes so far provided for handling materials. (See Pl. VII.) - At Tilbury (see Pl. VIII) two graving docks, running the complete dis- tance from the outer tidal basin to the inner main dock basin, were observed. These graving docks have gates at both ends and also an inner gate. The length of each is 846 feet, as shown on Plate VIII, and by means of the divid- 26 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. ing and end gates, it is entirely practicable to dry-dock two ships in each dry dock at one time or as separate operations. No handling cranes were observed, and no tracks for the travel of such appliances have been installed. Particu- larly interesting dry-dock figures were obtained from the dock master at Tilbury. The following table shows, for the years named, the number of ships dry-docked and the total annual tonnage: Number Year. of ships.

It was first necessary to explain to him that it was desired to except extraordinary repairs, due to collisions, torpedoes, etc. He then stated that three to four days per annum is usual for the dry dock- ing of ships for cleaning and painting. This is usually divided into two dock- ages, at one of which the tail shaft of the vessel may be removed and trued. Frequently a ship will be gotten out of dry dock in one day, but the dock master was positive in his statement that four days is an excellent figure to use, So far as his experience, based on his record book data, is concerned. He stated also that the dry docks have no lay days, there being ships waiting to go in dry dock at all times. This information applies to the Tilbury Dry Docks exclusively. So far as observations at the London docks are concerned, it would appear that repair plants, in connection with dry docks, are not extensive. BUNIKERING AND CARGO COAL. No cargo coal is shipped from London, this business being confined to other ports nearer the mines. All the coal received in London by water comes to the river front quays, where it is transferred from colliers to barges. So far as bunker coal is concerned, these barges are locked into the inclosed constant level docks, where they are warped alongside such ships as require bunkering. The greater part of this bunkering appears to be done manually. Laborers ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 27 shovel the coal from the barge into tubs, these tubs being hoisted aboard ship by means of single whips, operated either by the ship's own tackle or by winches on lighters alongside. Some bunkering by means of mechanical elevators was also noted. There were several floating coal elevators, consist- ing each of a barge containing a tower with booms which can, in ordinary time, be hoisted for clearance, but which in operation are given a horizontal position, the grab bucket traveling from the farthest reach over the coal barges, through the tower to the inboard end of the farther arm, which extends above the ship's deck. All told, it would appear that the approved and possibly the only method of coaling a ship in these basins is from barges at the outboard side of the ship while the cargo is being handled on the land side. At the new Albert dock an excellent opportunity was given to view the so-called jetty system, which consists of an openwork trestle constructed at a sufficient distance from the quay to allow barges to lie between the quay and the jetty. With this arrangement it is possible to take coal aboard ship from barges on either side while loading or discharging general cargo. It was stated that with this arrangement it was expected that considerably more speed will be obtained in the turn around of ships, as both coal and general cargo may be loaded or unloaded on either side of the ship. At Tilbury several jib cranes of long reach were observed at the entrance of the outer basin. It was stated that these cranes are used for the unloading of coal from colliers to barges. OIL BUINIKERING. There is no apparatus at the port of London for the bunkering of oil. Practically all of the ships entering this port are coal burners, and those which burn oil come from overseas and invariably carry sufficient oil for the round trip. The only tanks observed during the London inspection were at some distance from the Tilbury docks. These constituted a considerable group of apparently small size tanks, said to be used for commercial storage. WAREHOUSES, HANDLING, AND RAILWAYs. It may be said that, in general, the London quays, both along the river and in the docks, are, with the exception of the Albert and the Tilbury Docks, equipped almost exclusively with hydraulic gantry cranes, in some cases fixed, but in most instances running on tracks at the edge of the quay. None of these cranes is of modern type, although they all appear to be fairly effective tools. They are admittedly not as efficient as the modern electric cranes. In general, they have a capacity of about 30 hundredweight and seem to develop a fair rate of hoisting speed. The number of such cranes in use is large; probably an average is four such cranes to each ship's berth. In some cases six were observed. Even on the river front, where operating time is con- fined to high water, the supply of such cranes was liberal. At the Albert and Tilbury docks modern electrically operated gantry cranes, with jibs of 28 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. sufficient reach (65 feet) to operate over the outboard side of vessels moored alongside, were observed. There were four to six of these cranes available for every ship, and since they are all operated on tracks close to the edge of the quay a larger number could be concentrated at need on any one ship. In general, these cranes run on tracks having a guage of about 15 feet, with sufficient clearance between the legs to pass a standard guage freight car. Some smaller cranes, which can run on standard guage beneath the larger cranes, were also observed. The dock sheds were, in general, located about 36 feet or more from the edge of the quay, so that there was adequate handling space between the ship and shed. The general method of discharging cargo is as follows: The ship having been moored alongside the quay, cargo is unloaded, using both the gantry cranes and the ship's gear. The packages are thence placed upon hand trucks, which are pushed into the transit shed and unloaded or wheeled to the opposite side of the quay and there emptied into barges or cars for transporation to final destination. Most of the transit sheds observed in London are one story high, although some have two stories and some few a basement in addition to the two stories. There are, of course, especially at the older docks, many warehouses alongside the quays, some of these being several stories high. The Victoria dock has many storage sheds, while the Albert dock and the Tilbury dock have fewer storage and more transit sheds. On the south side of the Victoria dock two large flour mills were observed which were equipped with belt conveyors, electrically operated. Another in- teresting belt conveyor installation is at the Albert docks, in a group of cold- storage warehouses, estimated five years ago to cost £5,000,000, but which, on account of the changed conditions due to the war, have been finished at much greater expense. The building construction is of reinforced concrete of the very best type, and one could not fail to be impressed with the solidity of it. There are two main buildings. The first is alongside the quay, where there is room for the berthing of two ships at one time, with ample unloading facilities in the way of gantry cranes and belt conveyors. Meat coming from overseas in frozen condition is loaded on a belt conveyor by the gantry cranes, where it is inspected and classified, the conveyors dispatching it to the re- frigerating chambers, of which there are 20. A belt conveyor runs just inside the storehouse for the whole length thereof and parallel to the quay. This is on the upper floor. In connection with this belt plant, there are probably 50 separate portable belt conveyors, which can be placed anywhere on the floor. One end can be attached to any point of the fixed belt conveyor, so that meat coming along on the fixed conveyor can be deflected to any one of the portable conveyors, which, in turn, can deposit it upon another belt, and thus the load can be carried to any point in the room. These portable Conveyors are operated by portable electric motors which can be attached and detached at will. - fºLNGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 29 Also, at the Albert docks, in connection with the cold-storage installation, there is a trolley system which lends itself to quick handling. During the inspection of this plant, quarters of beef were being lifted out of the hold of the vessel with the ship's own tackle, which placed them on belt conveyors of port- able type, these conveyors running from the ship's side to the side of the transit shed. At the end of the belt a chain hanger was fastened to the shank of the quarter of beef by manual labor and hooked to an overhead trolley. The trolley tracks run in various directions, and by this means it is possible to send the meat directly through the transit sheds to freight cars on the opposite side or to barges farther down on the waterfront. At the Millwall dock a suction grain elevator, operated in conjunction with a jetty, similar to that explained in connection with the new Albert dock, was observed. This dock is used almost exclusively for grain. The barges lie between the jetty and the quay wall for loading. The grain is conveyed from the ship either to barges or warehouse on belt conveyors, which also operate inside of the elevator. The capacity of the dock observed here was said to be 1,500 tons of grain per day of eight hours. Floating grain elevators were also observed at the Victoria and Albert docks. One of these was of the suction type, the other of the chain-bucket type. These elevators are used entirely for unloading grain from ships, and being of the floating variety can, of course, be taken to any of the other docks. g At the Tilbury docks the modern gantry cranes above described were handling skips and flat platforms which were being loaded in the ship's hold with package goods, as many as 16 packages being unloaded in one operation. The skips were then returned to the vessel for a new load. The Tilbury docks are the most modern in the London system. The methods here, however, are quite similar to those heretofore described for the Victoria and Albert docks. The transit sheds are somewhat wider, but hand trucks are used exclusively from ship's side to transit shed or to railroad in the rear thereof. A floating derrick of 50 tons capacity was observed at Tilbury, and it was stated that other docks have similar equipment. At the London docks the only additional feature noted was in the operation of a roller conveyor. This consisted of a ladder arrangement with parallel sides, having rollers at regular intervals between these sides, so that packages placed on the slightly inclined apparatus descended by gravity to the storehouse alongside. The Surrey commercial docks are used almost exclusively for the handling and storage of lumber and timber, although there are some grain and provision storehouses. The lumber is almost exclusively manhandled, it being explained that since this material must be classified it is not considered practicable to use mechanical appliances. There were, however, some few jib and overhead traveling cranes. At these docks a vertical chain belt and shelf lowerator was observed. This apparatus works by gravity. At the drayage platform there is a trigger brake apparatus, which stops the belt when a package is removed from the conveyor. 30 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. In the provision section of this dock a 15-ton floating steam crane and a floating suction grain elevator were observed. The latter had just finished unloading 6,000 tons of grain from a steamer, requiring eight days for the work. Bags of sugar and bales of wool stored at this dock were being handled by small portable jib cranes with flat-tread wheels, so that the cranes could be taken anywhere over the level floor. At the Albert dock floating cranes of 30 and 50 tons capacity were observed. These were of the revolving type. TUGS, BARGES, AND LIGHTERS. Tugs inside the dock basins are all owned and operated by the port of London authority, the moving about of all ships and barges inside the basin being done by the port board. Towage and lightering on the river is left to private enterprise. Everywhere in the London dock system and on the river front large numbers of barges, principally of the canal-boat type, were observed. In one instance almost an entire basin was taken up by barges said to contain grain which had been unloaded from a ship in order to discharge it in the earliest practicable time. It was explained, further, that this grain would be handled again into a granary. The barge business of London is tremendous, the barges used, in general, having a capacity ranging from 50 to 150 tons. LABOR AND STEVEDORING. Labor at the London docks is paid both by the day and on piecework. At Tilbury it was noted that men handling package goods on hand trucks deposited a check with a central overseer each time they passed him with a load. At Millwall docks it was explained that the labor handling lumber is paid exclusively by the piece. THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL. Liverpool, a city of about 750,000 people, lies at the mouth of the River Mersey, with Birkenhead just across the stream. Before dredging was com- menced the depth on the bar at the mouth of the Mersey was only 11 feet at dead low water at Spring tides, whereas now, under the same conditions, there is a depth of about 32 feet. The total range between high and low water at spring tides is as much as 33 feet, with about 11 feet at neap tides. Under such circumstances a basin system with locks was necessarily adopted. The current at times, it is said, has a velocity of 7 knots per hour. In consequence of this, and of the extreme rise and fall of the tide, the dock system is of massive construction, constructed at heavy expense. The port as it now exists is based upon an old port. The original docks Were in What is now the center of the dock system, and the extensions have been made both north and south from this center. The principal extensions have been to the north. The town grew more rapidly than the docks and, in consequence, the extensions have always been hampered by the fact that the Plate No. X.

It has not been considered possible to get, as in London, away from the congested areas. (See Pl. X.) The original docks were built for sailing vessels and before the railways. As the docks were extended it was difficult to find sufficient space to secure proper railway communications. Speaking generally, railway communications come in from the east, while the dock sys- tem runs north and south. There is no through railway communication across the Mersey, which lies west of the dock system. The growing town has formed a bottle neck, through which the trade of the port has to pass. The imports into Liverpool are distributed over a much wider area than those into London. Besides food imports, Liverpool deals with practically the whole of the cotton imports required in the Lancashire district. The export trade from Liverpool is a very large one, and the exported goods are collected over a wide area. The extent to which carts and trucks are employed in carrying the traffic between the ships and the warehouses and the ships and the railway is a special feature in Liverpool. Recently efforts have been made to increase the amount of traffic transferred direct between the quays and the railway trucks, but the difficulty of finding an adequate space for railway sidings is a serious one. The Birkenhead docks across the Mersey are worked as a part of the port of Liverpool. These are well placed in regard to the railways for export traffic, and are used largely for this purpose by the ocean-going vessels trading to the Far East. Birkenhead is not favored for import traffic. Liverpool has laid itself out especially to provide for vessels of the larger size, and has incurred very considerable expense in deepening the bar, providing graving-dock accom- modations, deep-water docks, etc. It has the bulk of the American trade. The dock system faces along the river for a distance of 57% miles, the main basins running along the river foreshore, with slips or berths running at right angles thereto. In addition, there is the considerable dock system of Birkenhead, which, as before stated, is operated in connection with the Liverpool docks and is all under the Mersey docks and harbor board. Also, about 4 miles south of the Liverpool docks, on the same side of the river, lie the Garston docks and estate, owned and operated by the London & North Western Railway Co. Garston, being in close proximity to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the Midlands, is important as a general and coal shipping cen- ter. It is within an exceptionally short haul from the South Lancashire and North Staffordshire coal fields. (See Pl. XI.) The history of the port of Liverpool is of particular interest, both as to the growth of the dock system and the development of the port management. These are best described in parts 1 to 5, inclusive, of a publication entitled “The Port of Liverpool: Its Rise and Progress,” issued by the Mersey docks and harbor board, hereto attached, marked “Appendix 5.” The business transacted by the port of Liverpool is also interesting, as shown by Appendix 6, entitled “The Accounts of the Mersey Docks and Harbor Board for the Year Ending July 1, 1917.” - 32 - ENGLISEI FORT FACILITIES. GENERAL CONDITIONS. These are best shown by the excellent map (Pl. X) hereto attached, from which it is readily seen that the more southerly of the dock systems are now used for smaller vessels, while the northerly docks have been improved from the early conditions with a view to the accommodation of the largest ships. The Gladstone docks, now in the course of construction, will be the largest of all. Even so, it will be observed from the map that the area for development along the water front is much restricted, and, as heretofore remarked, it is so hemined in by the town as to prevent broad treatment. For general characteristics of the various docks comprising the system, see Appendix 7, tables headed “Liverpool docks,” “Liverpool basins,” “Birken- head docks,” “Total water area and quayage of the Liverpool and Birkenhead docks and basins,” “Area of the dock estate,” and “Landing stages.” ORGANIZATION. The port of Liverpool, like that of London, is under the control of a so- called trust, the Mersey docks and harbor board, which represents the port interests. This board was established in 1858 by act of Parliament, and has 28 members, 24 of whom are elected by the dock ratepayers—i.e., persons paying rates and dues on ships and goods only—and the remaining four are appointed by the Mersey conservancy commission, which consists of the first lord of the Admiralty, the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and the president of the Board of Trade. Other details of organization and changes therein are given in Appendix 5. , ºr The city of Liverpool has no direct jurisdiction. The effort is made in making appointments to the board to give the various trading interests in the local shipping community a proportionate representation. Up to eight years ago there was considerable friction among the various factions, due to the efforts of each to obtain a maximum number of positions on the board. Since then, by mutual understanding, a proper proportion has been reached and maintained without friction. Only in cases of dissatisfaction at a decision of the local board is appeal ever made to the Board of Trade, which is an execu- tive department of the Imperial Government and corresponds in part to our Department of Commerce. DRY DOCES AND REEPAIR PLANTS. The port of Liverpool has 19 graving docks 350 feet or more in length, of which four have middle gates, enabling them to be used for two ships each at separate dockings. In addition there is a graving dock 283 feet 9 inches long (see Appendix 7, tables headed “Liverpool graving docks,” “Birkenhead graving docks,” and “Liverpool gridiron'); also, hereto attached (Pl. XII), diagram of tides at Georges Pier, Liverpool, for use in connection with the tide table in determining the depth of water over the dry-dock sill. This Plate No. XII.

The first dry dock inspected was in the Canada dock section. This has a length of 925 feet 6 inches on the floor. It is of masonry construction and is equipped with one 5-ton fixed crane, hydraulically operated, and one gantry crane of 20 tons capacity, traveling on rails having a 25-foot gauge. Both cranes are on the same side of the dock. The gantry jib is of sufficient length to plumb the center of the dry dock. The next dry dock surveyed was in the Brocklebank dock section. This is 709 feet 5 inches long on the floor, and was formerly a wet dock, which, by a few simple changes, was converted into a dry dock. It has no cranes or other handling devices to serve it. The Langton dock section has two graving docks, each divided into two sections by a middle gate, the chambers being 448 feet and 500 feet long, re- spectively. These docks are equipped with one traveling crane of 30 tons capacity, hydraulically operated, and so arranged as to serve all four dry- dock chambers. - The Gladstone graving dock, in the new Gladstone section, now under construction, has been built to care for the largest liners. It is 1,050 feet long and 120 feet wide. It has been so arranged as to be used either as a dry or wet dock. When inspected, it was serving as a wet dock for the Cunard liner Aquitania. The pumping plant for this dry dock is of particular in- terest and is a very handsome installation. It is equipped with five 54-inch pumps, operated by four-cylinder, two-cycle Diesel engines, each equipped with its own direct-connected air compressor. These engines are vertical and have a rating of 1,000 brake horsepower each. The combined pumping ca- pacity of the five pumps is 1,300 tons of water per minute. The entire instal- lation has been placed at a low level in the pump-well house, two of the pumps being 4 feet lower than the other three, in order to take the last drainage of the dry dock. Inside of the pump house there is a water-level stage indicator, operated by means of a float inside a Jarge pipe. This enables the engineer in charge to visualize the height of water in the dry dock while pumping. Other than four cargo cranes hereinafter described, there was no mechanical equip- ment for this dry dock. The gates of this dry dock are of the sliding caisson type, electrically operated. A graving dock inspected in the Queen's dock section is 634 feet long and 80 feet wide. It has no handling apparatus. With one or two exceptions, all dry docks are owned and operated by the Mersey board, the repair jobs to ships using the dock being let out by private contract. Liverpool possesses extensive repair facilities, there being six large concerns and as many Small ones. During the war these have been controlled by the British Admiralty. The repair shops are, in general, at some distance from the dry docks. There are no floating repair shops, and the local system 1301.33—19—3 34 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. does not seem to lend itself to these. Outside of the dock estates, but in prox- imity to it, in the Canada Dock section, the extensive repair plant of the Harlan & Wolff Co., of Belfast was noted. The buildings are of brick and quite sub- stantial. The plant was established about six years ago, and it is only one of several operated in various ports by this company. In passing, several electric- welding outfits on their own trucks were noted. One of them had its own motor propulsion. The others were trailers. They are the property of private repair concerns. A visit was made to the office of the Mersey board, where the assignment of the available dry dock space for the day was witnessed. (See Appendix 8, by-laws as to graving docks; also Appendix 9, graving dock rates.) The pro- ceedings are presided over by the assistant harbor master, the representatives of all the interested ship-repair concerns being present, as is also a representative of the Admiralty. If this latter officer desires a particular dry dock for an Admiralty vessel it is so assigned without dispute, otherwise the assistant harbor master’s decision as to assignment is final. There was keen competi- tion for the use of some of the dry docks, the repair concern desiring a particular dock for the shortest number of tides usually getting it. Although there are, in effect, 22 dry docks in the port of Liverpool, there has been a marked shortage for present purposes. One of the dock board assistants remarked that it was a disgrace to have such a shortage of dry docks. The question was asked as to whether there has been any rule for determining the number of dry docks required for this port, but it appears that no systematic effort has been made to determine this, although virtually all of the dry docks are owned by the Mersey board. º A representative of Graysons (Ltd.) extended an invitation to visit his plant. This company is one of the largest ship-repair concerns in England. Its controlling agent stated that the usual operations required upon ships in dry dock, outside of extraordinary repairs, are pulling out of tail shafts about once a year and painting about twice a year. He stated, further, that four to five days represents his best judgment as to annual dry-docking time per ship. BUNKERING AN5 CARGO CoAL. There are no specifications governing the quality of coal for bunker pur- poses. The Admiralty has a list of preferred mines, similar to that used by our Navy Department, with Welsh coal leading. Owners of merchant ships buy their coal according to their experience, some of the largest liners using a mixture of Welsh and Lancashire. As at London, the approved method of bunkering is from barges alongside while taking cargo. This is done by two means, namely, by separate coal barge using single whips attached to short out- riggers from the ship itself, the motive power being furnished from small, separate barges containing a winch operated by a donkey engine. To the single whip a basket is attached, this basket being filled with coal by men using shovels. A notable case of this was the coaling of the Aquitania, which was spurred off from the quay and had two barges on each side. Four baskets were being used ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 35 to each barge. The Aquitania was taking on 6,000 tons of coal, which was said to require four days’ time. The second method of bunkering is by a mechanical elevator. There was considerably more mechanical coaling in this port than at London. Three self-contained barges and elevators were noted, the barges holding about 1,000 tons of coal each and being equipped with a chain-belt elevator running the entire length of the barge under the contained hopper. This belt discharged into an elevated hopper, which, in turn, dis- charged through a chute into a funnel rigged on the ship's side. A third method of coaling is in limited use at two points—first, at the Bramley Moore dock, where the railway runs along one side and one end of the slip. At the side of the dock, a traveling crane lifted individual coal cars, containing 10 tons each, and discharged them into a chute, which, in turn, discharged into barges or small ships. At the end of the dock was a low-level chute, supplied with coal from a tipple which inclined an individual car endwise to discharge it. This car was shifted from the main line by turntable. There were also cars which contained four separate boxes. These boxes were picked up one at a time and discharged. At the Canada dock two types of shore loading were observed. The first consisted of a traveling, revolving jib crane of 30 tons lifting capacity, which traversed the quay on a 25-foot gauge track. Single cars were pulled onto a platform by means of a capstan, lifted by the crane and tipped into the vessel alongside. The second type con- sisted of an elevator tower. Individual cars were shifted from the main track by turntable, rolled upon the elevator platform, raised and tipped into a chute, discharging directly into the vessel alongside. Each of these two devices has a loading capacity of 350 tons per hour. The bulk of the coal for this port comes in by rail. The floating equipment for coaling is privately owned. It will readily be understood that the elevator and crane methods above described are applicable only to the small British cars. Coaling companies charge the same price for coaling by hand as by machine. One coal merchant in particular showed an aversion to the use of machines, stating that men wear out and other men replace them, whereas machines are a constant source of overhead expense. (See Appendix 7, table headed “Coaling appliances.”) OIL BUINIKERING. There is apparently no oil bunkering at the port of Liverpool. While there are some few oil tanks, notably along the west float at Birkenhead, these are used for the storage of oil received for internal distribution. (See Appen- dix 7, statement headed “Petroleum stores.”) WAREHOUSES, HANDLING, AND RAILWAYS. Warehouses or transit sheds parallel practically all quays, as will be seen from the map (Pl. X). Most of them are two stories high, the second story having hinged landing platforms, so that the hydraulic jib cranes, running on 36 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. the roofs of the building, or the ship's gear may land their loads at the second story, or, with the platforms hinged to vertical position, make the landing on the lower or ground floor. These buildings vary in width from 80 to 120 feet, and are in the main constructed of brick and reinforced concrete with the steel columns fireproofed. (See Appendix 7, tables headed “Dock ware- houses,” “Sheds on dock quays,” “ Dock railway,” and “Lairages.”) After the survey of the port of London the extent of the Liverpool cargo- handling devices was not impressive. Where such handlers existed at all, they were usually traveling, hydraulic jib cranes, running on tracks on the ware- house roofs and having a capacity, in general, of 3,000 pounds. Many of the warehouses have no such handlers. As compared, however, with the provision of such devices in American ports, the number of cranes is large. (See Ap- pendix 7, tables headed “Cranes available for general use.” At the new Gladstone dock four electric traveling gantry jib cranes, the for- ward leg running on a track near the face of the quay wall, the back leg running on a track on the eaves of the warehouses, were observed. These cranes are of considerable height, and the jibs have a length of about 60 feet beyond the edge of the quay. Practically none of the one-story warehouses was equipped with handling devices, although there were numerous locomo- tive jib cranes mounted on ordinary flat tread wheels, capable of running inside and outside the sheds. - At Langton dock there was a 100-ton revolving hydraulic crane for extra heavy work. This is fixed at the edge of the quay and ships have to be brought under it. One floating suction grain, elevator, built since the war began, but not yet used, was observed. At the Brocklebank docks so-called jiggers were observed in operation. These were lowering sugar bags and consisted of a single pulley with brak- ing device. One end of the single rope was attached to a bag, which was lowered until it almost reached the truck below, where it was stopped by the brake, the other end of the rope was then attached to another bag, when the brake was released, the weight of the first bag jerking the second bag to a vertical position and relieving its weight upon the upper platform, so that it was only necessary to push it off. The bag then descended until it almost reached the truck, where it was stopped, from which point the operation was repeated as before. It was observed that a considerable portion of the un- loaded cargo was landed on the second floor of the transit Shed, whence it was trucked across to the opposite side and lowered by jiggers into trucks. Some of the trucks drew trailers after them. They were in most instances operated by steam; and several were observed weighing 7 to 8 tons for the truck and carry- ing a combined load on the truck and trailer of 124 tons. Similar trucks were observed in the streets of London as well as in Liverpool. At the King's dock a small electric jib crane for use inside the transit shed was observed. It was mounted on flat tread wheels and had a lifting capacity of 600 pounds. At another point a portable belt conveyor, electrically oper- ated, and having a high central gallows frame, enabling the belt to be lifted ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 37 to any angle, was observed. This machine was purchased for stacking to high elevations, but was being used for loading drays, for which it seemed well adapted. In the Victoria section of the Birkenhead docks there is an electric travel- ing crane, the trolley of which carries a jib. The crane has three movements— the traverse, the trolley, and the hoisting operation of the jib attached to the trolley. This trolley could be run outside the wall of the transit shed in order to pick up loads from the ship. Another crane observed at Birkenhead was similar except that it had but two movements—the traverse of the trolley jib and the operation of the hoist on the jib. This hoist was arranged to lift to a height of 38 feet above the dock floor, and was being used to unload a steamer. At another point electric jib cranes were attached to the wall of a transit shed on the truck delivery side. The cargo doors for the upper and lower decks of the sheds were staggered, so that the jib crames could be used to handle material to or from either without interference with the other. These jib cranes have a lifting capacity of 1 ton. (See appendixes 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.) - TUGS, BARGES, AND LIGHTERS. With the exception of two tugs, the property of the Mersey board, and kept for fire and emergency use, all tugs and barges are privately owned. In contradistinction to the London practice, privately owned tugs enter the basin here for the purpose of shifting vessels. (See appendix 15.) LABOR AND STEVEDORING. Labor is paid both by the day and by the piece. In bunkering ships the labor is paid by the day where mechanical devices are used and by the basket where baskets and single whips are used. About 9 shillings per diem is the ordinary rate, but at present, with the Government bonus, the pay amounts to 13 shillings 6 pence. The working day is nine hours. SHIP TURN AROUND. The average turn around for ships is said to be 14 days, both at present and in peace times, the greatest present problem being scarcity of labor. In ordinary times the great problem is congestion of goods in the transit sheds. It was stated that ships come in so rapidly and are unloaded so quickly that the sheds become blocked with miscellaneous and unclassified goods, making it difficult to find sufficient space for loading drays. At the present time con- signees are allowed 72 hours to remove their goods; after that penalties accrue. SHIPBUILDING. On the Birkenhead side of the river the shipbuilding plant of Cammell- Laird (Ltd.), was observed. This plant occupies more than a mile of water 38 ENGLISEI PORT FACILITIES. front. No detailed inspection was made, but it was noted that the shipbuild- ing ways are served by guyed pillar jib cranes of considerable reach and height. THE PORT OF MANCHESTER. Manchester was originally an inland city, situated on the Mersey River, some 45 miles from the sea. The Mersey was not navigable for ships, and as the elevation at Manchester is about 75 feet above the sea and the river a winding stream, it was not considered practicable to develop the stream itself for ocean navigation. Manchester is situated in the most densely popu- lated area of Great Britain and was originally dependent upon the port of Liverpool for most of its material from overseas and for the shipment of its products. The cost of the railroad shipments, plus handling charges between Manchester and ship side, was so great that the district suffered heavily in competition with other more favorably located industrial centers. It was therefore finally decided to construct a ship canal, so that ocean-going vessels might come to the heart of the city. The Manchester Ship Canal was there- fore projected and was opened to traffic on January 1, 1894, at a cost of £15,248,437. Unlike London and Liverpool, the port of Manchester was there- fore not a gradual growth; it was possible to lay out the docks in advance and to Secure sufficient property for future expansion. The ship canal is 35% miles in length, with the principal docks at Man- chester. (See Pl. XIII, map showing the entire length of the canal, with the Mersey River and adjacent country; also Pl. XIV, showing to larger scale the port of Manchester and the Manchester docks; also appendix 16, general information taken from a pamphlet published under date of August, 1918, by the Manchester Ship Canal Co., under title “Port of Manchester.”) The neighboring cities of Manchester and Salford have a combined popu- lation of over 1,000,000 people, with a tremendous industrial development, devoted mainly to the manufacture of cotton goods and textiles. This port is the source of supply of at least 177 interior towns, the district in which these towns are situated being nearer to Manchester than to any other open steam- ship port. The entire district contains a population of over 9,000,000 people. Attached hereto, marked “Appendix 17,” is a paper, prepared in August, 1918, for the visit of the Empire Press Proprietors, giving further detailed information. The bottom width of the canal is at least 120 feet for the entire length, with an excavated depth of 28 feet, which is maintained by dredging. Previous to the opening of the ship canal the trade of Manchester was falling off, many industrial and engineering establishments and mills had closed or moved from the district, and there were streets of empty houses and tene- ments. With the opening of the canal, prosperity was soon restored. (See appendix 17.) The increase in population has been very great. While through its canal the port has a tidal lock system, it differs from London and Liverpool in that the nearest locks are some distance downstream from the principal Plate No. XIII.

Manchester is essentially a railway port, although there is a large trucking business to the near-by cities. The port itself is not organized for a large stor- age business, but storage accommodation is being developed on the Trafford Park estates, which adjoin the canal and docks. This, however, is a private venture, not under the control of the port authorities. In projecting the canal, a considerable area of property was purchased alongside and much of the traf- fic is distributed along the length of the canal. The coal shipments from Partington, for instance, have become very important. ORGANIZATION. The dock system is owned and operated by the Manchester Ship Canal Co., and, in contradistinction to the port of London authority and the Mersey dock and harbor board at Liverpool, is a private corporation, operated for profit. This is easily accounted for when it is remembered that the other two bodies took over extensive works already constructed, whereas the Manchester com- pany was obliged to start from nothing, and, in consequence, to obtain funds had to float its bonds. (See appendix 16.) There are 35,000 shareholders, and a large block of the stock is held by the city corporation of Manchester. While the venture has not yet reached a full dividend-paying basis, its prospects in this regard are excellent, and the returns in prosperity to the district have been large. - DRY DOCKS AND REPAIR PLANTS. The port of Manchester has three dry docks, the property of the Manches- ter Dry Docks Co. (Ltd.), which is prepared to do shipbuilding or ship repair work. The dimensions of these dry docks are as follows: & Water On Length. Width. blocks. Ft. Ft. Ft. im. Pock No. 1------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 535 65 20 . . . Pock No. 2.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 425 65 17 6 Pock No. 3.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 450 65 17 6 In addition to these graving docks there is a floating pontoon dry dock, 300 feet long by 63 feet wide, with 16 feet of water on the blocks, capable of lifting vessels of 4,000 tons. The graving docks have no special handling apparatus in connection therewith, but are served by a standard gauge railroad track crane, which is available for use at the dry docks and elsewhere in the repair plant. A floating electric-welding outfit was noted in passing. The canal authorities were questioned with regard to floating repair shops, but there are no such appliances available here. - - 40 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. BUNIKERING AND CARGO COAL. All bunkering in connection with vessels visiting the port is done from tipples alongside the canal below the basins, or from elevators and cranes similarly located and answering the description of those already reported for Liverpool. Discussion developed the fact that while it is conceded that some time may be saved by bunkering from barges while loading cargo, the fact that all coal is delivered by rail, with the additional fact that all ships must pass down the canal, makes the above method the most convenient and, in the opinion of the local authorities, cheaper. At Partington, about 9 miles down the canal from Manchester, there is a coal basin with a quay space of 20 acres and a length of nearly three-quarters of a mile. There are 224 miles of railway sidings, with accommodations on the water front for seven coal tips, six of which are constructed and in use. These tips are fitted with hydraulic machinery and all the latest improvements for loading coal according to the English system. Each tip has a capacity of 300 tons per hour; the basin has direct railway connection with all the coal fields and is the nearest point of shipment for the Lancashire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire coal fields. The small capacity of the English coal cars makes it a comparatively simple matter to pick up the entire car, either with a jib crane or by means of a hydraulic elevator, and to tip the car either directly into the hold of the vessel by means of the jib crane or into a chute attached to the hydraulic elevator and thus into the ship. The hydraulic elevators are of a simple type, the chutes being adjustable, so that ships of any height may be accommodated at any stage of tide. OLL BUINIKERIN G. No oil bunkering is done at Manchester at the present time, but there are large commercial plants, three of which were observed in passing. (See appendix 16, Oil tanks.) The tanks in the groups observed are of compara- tively small size, the tank groups being contained within masonry walls. The oil delivery to pier is for inland use, but since this oil is conveyed to each of the depots through pipes direct from the vessels lying alongside the quay, it is entirely possible to arrange for bunkering also. WAREHOUSES, HANDLING, AND RAILWAYs. Although the entire port of Manchester is a modern development, it is interesting to note from the map (Pl. XIV) that the first constructions were piers and sheds of comparatively narrow width and one-story height, pro- gressing to two stories on a narrow pier, then to three, four, and five stories on wider piers, the latest development being a quay wall construction, with large railway yards immediately in the rear of the four-story transit sheds. Dock No. 9 being the latest development, description is confined almost exclu- sively to it. Here are five transit sheds of reinforced concrete construction, & Plate No. XIV.

They are 110 feet wide and have four floors, each of which can be served by gantry cranes, which run on the edge of the quay. The management pointed out that these buildings are not for general warehousing purposes but are transit sheds. Here, as at London and Liverpool, it was stated that the secret of quick turn around lies in keeping the transit sheds free; penalties are assessed when goods remain longer than 72 hours before removal. Attention is particularly invited to the cross section on l’late XIII, from which it will be seen that there is sufficient space between the edge of the quay and the receiving side of the transit shed for three lines of standard guage rail- way, the electric traveling cranes operating upon the one nearest the water, leav- ing the other two for railway cars. The cranes have towers of unusual height and jibs of unusual length, and thus are able to plumb the hatches of cargo vessels and deliver goods upon any deck of the transit sheds. These cranes are all electrically operated and are equipped with distant control apparatus, so that the operator may stand over the hatch of the ship and by means of a controller suspended around his neck have full view of the loading at all times and full control over it. The landing platforms of the sheds are hinged in order that any floor may be served without interference. These platforms are of greater width than those described for London and Liverpool. At the rear of the sheds there are two standard gauge tracks served by jiggers similar to those described for Liverpool, but more complete in that they have sufficient travel to pick up the load inside the building and lower it outside into the cars. The roof overhang on this side allows loading under cover. The capacities of cranes and jiggers are entirely similar to those reported for Liverpool. (For further description of cranes, etc., see appendix 16.) All handling inside the sheds is done by hand trucks, the material being wheeled from the side nearest the quay to the rear of the shed and there loaded into the railway cars or city trucks. Attention is invited to the grain elevator at the head of dock No. 9 (for further description of it see appendix 16); also to the subways underneath and just to the rear of the face of the quay. The smaller of these, nearest the water front, is for service pipes, etc.; the larger and inner subway contains three belt conveyors. The roof of this subway is pierced at frequent intervals by man- holes. By means of portable chain-bucket elevators, grain cargoes may be discharged at any point alofig the half mile of docks, through the manholes to the belts below, and thus conveyed to the grain elevator at the head of the slip. It is therefore possible to unload mixed cargo with the cranes, of which there are usually four to a ship's berth, while at the same time discharging grain to the elevator belts. The grain elevator itself is designed in accordance with the best American practice and there is, therefore, nothing especial to note with regard to it. Attention is particularly invited to the extensive railway yards in connec- tion with the dock system, especially to the yards between docks Nos. 8 and 9. 42 ENGLISEI PORT FACILITIES. It will be noted from the cross section that while all the sheds at dock No. 9 are comparatively tall, head room, except for the first story, has been cut down to a minimum. It was explained that this was partly because the sheds are not intended for storage; also limitations on floor loads and convenience in piling had their influence in fixing story heights. Although Manchester has already constructed transit sheds of greater height than those in use at other ports, it is interesting to note that it is the intention of the company, as soon as War conditions will permit, to construct, on Trafford Wharf, transit sheds of even greater width and height. These are to be 132 feet 6 inches wide and five stories high, and are to be served both on the water front and at the rear by electric gantry cranes, which can handle goods to or from any floor of the shed. The gantry cranes on dock No. 9 travel on tracks of standard gauge, but by means of screw jacks their stability base while in use is made to be about double that of the wheel base. A grain ship was being unloaded, using a chain-belt bucket conveyor of portable type. This conveyor was suspended from one of the ship's booms. A floating shear legs, hydraulically operated, with lifting capacity of 250 tons, was observed. (For list of cranes and other handling apparatus, See appendix 16.) The number of such appliances used in unload- ing a single ship here is fully as great, if not greater, than that reported for London. TUGS, BARGES, AND LIGHTERS. Two floating barges, each 150 feet long by 40 feet wide, were observed, and it was stated that there are six of these altogether, each having a capacity of 800 tons. They are considered especially valuable in unloading barrels and iumber when sheds are congested and quick turn around of the ship is re- quired. The canal company furnishes tugs for towing on the canal and for berthing. Shipowners have the option, however, of engaging privately owned tugs if they so desire. Because of the facilities for direct loading to railway cars and drays, there are fewer barges in use here than at Liverpool or London. LABOR AND STEVEDORING. As at London and Liverpool, the greatest problem in ship turn around has been labor. At the time of inspection the docks were over 900 men short. They were using the Labor Battalion of the Home Defense Army, but stated that the men were of low quality and relatively inexperienced. Labor in connection with the docks is paid almost exclusively by the day. TRAFFORD PARK ESTATES. As mentioned in connection with the Manchester docks, the Trafford Park estates are conducted as a private corporation, being known as the Port of Manchester Warehouses (Ltd.). It may, however, be considered an adjunct of the Manchester Ship Canal, upon which it borders. The estate lies between the Manchester Ship Canal and the Bridgewater Canal, and has been laid out Plate No. XV.

It has established upon it many manufacturing works, attracted to it by its location on the canal and at the docks. Plate XV shows the locations of the many prominent manufac- turing concerns. WAREHOUSES AND HAN DIAIN G. The warehouses on the Trafford Park estates are almost the exact oppo- site of those described for the ship canal properties, being each of a single story of considerable height; some of them are as much as 45 feet high, with the goods piled almost to the roof. Perhaps the most notable of these are called “safes.” They are fireproof brick buildings, divided into compart- ments by means of brick fire walls, these compartments measuring 36 feet width by 165 feet length. They are served by traveling cranes spanning the width between walls. The trolleys of these cranes run on one rail, and are thus able to transfer to an outside rail running at right angles to the rails of the crane bridge, and thus to transfer material to any car lying under the roof overhang, or by running the entire length of the outside track to transfer the load to vessels lying in the canal. In some of these so-called “safes” there were bales of Egyptian cotton piled 15 deep. These bales are 50 per cent larger than the ordinary Annerican bale, weighing between 750 and 800 pounds each. Chain-belt conveyors, in sections and portable, were noted working in conjunction with a portable elevator stacker. As seen in action, this conveyor extended the entire length of a building and was stacking bags of sugar to a considerable height. This apparatus was of American manufacture. Another American device observed was an automatic elevator, which, when a package was placed upon the platform, lifted it to the top for stacking. Almost all of the other handling apparatus was of the overhead traveling crane variety, electrically operated. In most cases the trolley traveled suspended from a single rail, as heretofore described. LABOR. • Labor on the Trafford Park estates is paid almost entirely on the piece basis. r THE PORT OF GLASGOW. The city of Glasgow has a population of 1,150,000. It is on the River Clyde, about 20 miles from its mouth. In 1873 the average depth between port of Glasgow and the River Cart was 18 feet, with 15 feet at one place; now the least depth is 24 feet below low-water level. Between the River Cart and the River Kelvin the increase has been from 15 to 23 feet, and between the River Relvin and Glasgow Bridge from 14 to 20 feet. (See Pl. XVI, Clyde Naviga- tion Map of the River and Firth of Clyde, from Carmyle to Gourock.) The range of tide is about 12 feet, so that, unlike the ports previously described, it has not been necessary to build docks behind tidal locks, the development, there- . fore, being very nearly similar to those at ports of the United States. The dock 44 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. System is best shown by Plate XVII, Clyde Navigation, plan of River Clyde from Glasgow to Clydebank. The principal general-cargo docks are the King ston dock, Queen's dock, and Prince's dock, in the heart of the city, while Rothe- say dock, farther down the river, is used almost exclusively for handling min- erals. It was explained by the general manager of the Clyde Navigation Trust, which controls the port, that the development is an old one, and there has been no effort to bring part of it up to date. Many of the docks have only 14 to 18 feet of water at low tide, the maximum depth being about 28 feet at low tide. The management realizes the deficiency and has set aside territory along the river for a distance of 2 miles for a modern development, to be undertaken after the war.

ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 45 Liverpool. (Appendix 24, excerpts from Handbook of the Clyde Navigation, gives the various Clyde navigation acts and the constitution of the trust under these acts.) At the present time there are 42 members of the board of trustees, of whom 12 are chosen by the corporation of the city of Glasgow, 2 by the county council of Lanark, 1 by the county council of Dumbarton, 1 by the town council of Dumbarton, 1 by the town council of Renfrew, 1 by the town council of Clydebank, 2 by the chamber of commerce, 2 by the Merchants' House, 2 by the Trades' House, and 18 elected by the ratepayer electors. This board is admit- tedly unwieldy, but the work is accomplished by standing committees, as follows: (1) Management. (2) Law and parliamentary bills. (3) Finance. - (4) Superannuation fund. (5) New works and maintenance of harbor and river. (6) Workshops and mechanical appliances. (7) Harbor and graving docks. (8) Traffic and storage. (9) Ferries. (10) Rates. (11) Stores. DRY DOCKS AND REPAIR PLANTS. The port of Glasgow has eight graving docks more than 350 feet long, of which three are owned and operated by the Clyde Navigation Trust; the others are privately owned and operated in connection with the privately owned repair plants. There are also some smaller dry docks and marine railways. The largest of the trust docks has a central gate, so that two ships can be docked therein separately. In general, it may be said that these dry docks are equipped with very little handling apparatus. At No. 3 dock, the largest of the trust group, there are two steam cranes, one of 25 and the other of 40 tons capacity. (Appendix 20, excerpt from Clyde Navigation Annual Statistics, Year Ended June 30, 1917, shows number of vessels entering the port, and statement as to the utilization of the graving docks for the year ended June 30, 1917. Ap- pendix 25, taken from handbook published by Kelvin, Bottomly & Baird (Ltd.), shows the dimesions of graving docks and slips; the rates for the use of these docks are also shown.) The trust operates its own repair yard for such work as is required upon its barges and tugs; in addition, there are 16 shipbuilding plants, the greater number of which can be counted upon to do repair work. - BUNEERING AND CARGO COAL. Almost no bunkering from barges is done here. Practically the only method is by tipples and cranes, lifting full carloads and dumping them into 46 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. the ship. There are many coal mines in the immediate vicinity; the coal is said to vary in quality, but some of it is excellent. A considerable portion of the water front is given to handling coal and ore, especially at Rothesay dock. In addition, individual companies, to whom space has been allotted for general merchandise, have their own coaling cranes. There is, almost invariably, track- age along the water front which can be used for these cranes at the same time that the ships are being loaded with cargo. There are numerous elevators capable of lifting and discharging whole cars, as hereinbefore described for other ports. An interesting variant at this port consists of an overhead trestle with graded track running back to a yard provided especially for empty cars. The cars are picked up on the elevator, lifted to the height required for discharging into a chute, which, in turn, discharges into the ship, then lowered to the height of the trestle and the car ejected thereon, to return by gravity to the empty yard. There are also many jib cranes, similar to those described for Manchester, of sufficient capacity to handle whole cars. The excerpt from a paper by Sir Thomas Mason (appendix 18), hereinbefore mentioned, describes the coal hoists. OIL BUINIKERING. There is no oil bunkering done on the Clyde. On the trip down the river some fuel-oil tanks were observed in process of building. These were Said to be part of the construction in connection with the fuel-oil line from the east to the west coast, which was at that time being installed by some of the American naval forces. WAREHOUSES, HANDLING, AND RAILWAYS. The warehouses, in general, at Glasgow are not equipped with handling devices; most of them are one story high, and those of two stories, all transit sheds, have no handling equipment on the discharge side. There are some electric and some hydraulic cranes on the receiving side between the edge of the quay and the building; these are of similar type to those reported in use at other English ports. (Appendix 26, excerpt from Handbook of the Clyde Navigation Trust, hereinbefore mentioned, shows the number, power, and character of operation of the cranes and hoists at this port.) From this table it will be noted that, although the Glasgow docks are not considered well equipped with cranes, there are 43 operated by steam, 48 hydraulic, and 31 elec- tric, a total of 122 cranes. In general, there are two lines of standard-gauge railway tracks in front and two behind each transit shed. One grain elevator of 1,250,000 bushels capacity was observed. It was equipped with belt conveyors and chain-belt bucket elevators. While this is a modern installation, which cost, before the war, $630,000, it is not as well equipped as the Manchester elevator hereinbefore described. - Plate No. XVII.

Tugs here are a matter of private enterprise; also, there are very few lighters and barges. The trust owns a few tugs for its own purposes. (At- tached hereto, marked “Appendix 27,” is an excerpt from the tide and speed tables above mentioned, showing tariff of towing charges on the River Clyde; also the Clyde pilot rates.) LABOR AND STEVEDORING. Supplying labor to the docks here is a matter of private enterprise. The bulk of it is paid on the day basis, although there is some part paid on piece- work. Officials here speak well of the labor battalions of the Home Defense Army. - SHIPBUILDING. In the inspection trip down the river 16 shipyards, with a total in the neighborhood of 100 ways, were observed. Some of these yards were being devoted exclusively to merchant ships, while several seemed to be constructing destroyers and submarines. The handling equipment in many cases consisted of wooden masts and wooden shear legs exclusively, while in some instances guyed steel masts, with steel jibs, were in use or under construction. The pre- vailing installation in the more modern yards consisted of steel jibs and high steel masts. In most instances these masts were held in position by guy lines. The most modern equipment of prevailing type was that of high steel towers with horizontal hammer-head jibs, these jibs having varying heights in order to overlap without intereference. Each carries a trolley, electrically operated. Some of the more modern cranes were still building; those of heaviest capacity overhang the fitting-out slips rather than the building ways. THE PORT OF NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. The population of Newcastle proper is about 300,000, and of Tyneside, the full port community, about 1,500,000. The River Tyne originally had only about 6 feet of water over the bar and has been improved to such an extent that it now has 30 feet for the lower and principal reaches at mean low water and 25 feet for the remaining distance, a total length of navigable river of about 19 miles. The largest ships navigate the deeper portion, and ships of 6,000 tons or less go the entire distance. The tidal variation at ordinary springs is 15 feet and at neap tide 11 feet. In consequence, the harbor system does not have to depend upon locks for its dock basins, there being docks distributed along the entire length of the river within the limits given above. However, the principal docks belonging to the Tyne improvement commission and the Northeastern Railway Co. are behind lock systems. There are several dock systems along the Tyne under the control of the different authorities. While the Tyne improvement commission has general authority over the river, there are numerous private docks, the principal ones, outside those directly controlled by the Tyne improvement commission, being 48 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. under the control and ownership of the Northeastern Railway Co. The prin- cipal docks belonging to the Tyne improvement commission consist of the Albert Edward, 22% acres in extent, situated near the entrance of the river; and the Northumberland, 50 acres in extent, higher up the river. Belonging to the Northeastern Railway Co. there is the Tyne dock, with water area of 50 acres (exclusive of timber ponds), and a tidal basin of 10 acres. This is situated near the entrance of the river. Attached hereto are three maps, as follows: Plate N. VIII. Map showing the ičiver Tyne from the sea to Wylam. * Plate XIX. Topographic mal), showing the River Tyne from the sea to Wylam. Plate XX. Map showing the Albert Edward dock, Northumberland diock, Commis- sioners’ Railways, and Coal-Shipping Staiths. The port has a very important coal-exporting business, and is the center of a large shipbuilding industry. - Attached hereto, marked “Appendix 28, is a publication of the Tyne improvement commission, “Code of By-Laws for the Regulation of the Port, and of the Northumberland and Albert Edward Docks, and the River and Dock Staiths, Belonging to the Tyne Improvement Commissioners, and Clauses Extracted from Tyne Improvement Acts and Acts Incorporated therewith ”; also Appendix 29, excerpts from a publication of the Tyne improvement com- mission, being list of rates, tolls, dues, and charges authorized by the acts of the Tyne improvement conmissioners, to be levied in connection with vessels using the port, and inclusive of the use of quays, wharves, etc., amended by several circulars increasing the dues from time to time. Before the war there were upward of 29,400 vessels using the harbor annually for loading and discharging, repairs, or other purposes, representing an average of 80 seagoing vessels daily, exclusive of steam and sailing fishing boats, steam tugs, wherries, and lighters. ORGANIZATION. The Tyne improvement commission has control of the river, but, as before remarked, there are private concerns having dock ownership along it. The commission is operated as a trust, in similar manner to those controlling the ports of London and Liverpool, and, like them, it is a corporation working without profit. There are 32 commissioners, 15 of whom represent the city corporations of the different municipalities embraced in Tyneside; 15 dues payers—that is, representatives of the coal, shipping, and general dues-paying traders, and two representing the Board of Trade. At present these two repre- sentatives come from the immediate neighborhood. As this is rather an un- wieldly body it is divided into committees, as follows: (1) Finance. (2) Dredging and river works. (3) Docks. (4) Harbors and ferry. (5) Parliamentary. Under war conditions there has also been a defense committee. Plate No. XVIII. RIVER TYNE, ENGLAND.

Attached hereto, marked “Appendix 30,” is a table giving a list of dry docks, pontoons, patent slips, gridirons, etc., on the River Tyne. From this it will be seen that there are 16 dry docks each over 350 feet long, in addition to which there are many other pieces of dry-docking apparatus of smaller capacity. With the exception of those owned by the Tyne improvement commission as shown by the table, the dry docks are all privately owned and were at the time of inspection being used to full capacity. The repair shops are also privately owned, usually in connection with the dry docks. Many of the shipbuilding concerns hereinafter mentioned can, of course, be counted upon to do ship- repair work. In addition to the above, a large Admiralty floating dry dock of steel con- struction was being operated in the lower reaches of the river. Its exact dimensions were not obtainable within the time available, but it was stated that the United States battleship New York had been dry-docked in it. The basin dredged for the operation of the dock was said to be 55 feet deep at mean low water, with 35 feet over the blocks of the dock. There were four traveling jib cranes, two on each wing of the dock, and each apparently able to plumb the middle thereof. An offshore-type floating dock, the capacity of which was not obtainable, was observed, with a merchant ship of considerable size therein. A jib travel- ing crane was mounted on the single wing. Marine railways of small capacity were also observed on the trip down the river. BUNKERING AND CARGo CoAL. The normal coal shipments in this port are about 20,000,000 tons per annum, reduced on account of war conditions to about 12,000,000 tons. The system of coaling used here is such that it is practically impossible to separate bunkering from cargo handling, but practically the only ships bunkered from lighters are those with side ports. One such ship was observed. Baskets were filled by hand in the manner heretofore described for other ports, and hoisted by means of single whips, operated by winches. Practically all other coaling is done from what are here called staiths; elevator towers, similar to those hereinbefore described, are mounted on the quays or on piers. There are many such staiths belonging to the Tyne improvement commission, the Northeastern Railway Co., and private colliery companies. The Tyne im- provement commission owns one such staith, with two berths, in Albert Edward dock, this staith being fitted with three coal band conveyors, on which an anti- coal-breakage appliance has been erected. The Tyne improvement commission also owns five staiths at Whitehill Point, three of which are provided with hydraulic hoists, and to which coal band conveyors are also being fitted, to- gether with an anticoal-breakage appliance. 130.133—19—4 50 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. The Northeastern Railway Co. has staiths as follows: Four (seven berths) in Northumberland dock. Four (16 berths) in Tyne dock. One (six berths) at Dunston. Besides which there are many private staiths, as hereinbefore noted, six of them being in Northumberland dock. One of these staiths was examined very closely; it had both lower and higher level equipment. The lower level arrangement consisted of a trestle of moderate height. Twenty-ton coal cars, with swing-door bottoms, are run over a chute, the bottom doors released, and the coal discharged into the chute, which, in turn, discharges into the barge or ship. Where the ship stands at too high a level, a belt conveyor, electrically operated and capable of being elevated, is run out under the mouth of the chute, thus elevating the coal to a sufficient height for discharge into the ship. These belt conveyors have a motion in and out, and also a slewing motion, allowing of some lateral adjustment. The high level portion of the staith takes the 20-ton coal cars upon an elevator platform and raises them to a height of 80 feet or less. The bot- tom doors of the car are then released, discharging the coal into the chute and thence into the ship. It may be remarked here that the banks of the river are, in general, high, materially restricting general development, but lending themselves very well to the system of coal handling just described. OIL BUNEERING. The only oil bunkering done at this port is for the Admiralty. Two tanks for this purpose were observed, one of 1,000,000 gallons and the other of 2,000,000 gallons' capacity, both located quite close to the quay. The bunker- ing is done through pipes to the quay along the river bank. The 2,000,000- gallon tank has a considerable elevation above the quay level. wAREHOUSEs, HANDLING, AND RAILwAYS. Compared with the ports heretofore surveyed, the warehouse and transit shed capacity at Newcastle appears small. This is partly because the prin- cipal export in normal times is coal and the principal import, timber. Large timber basins, said to cover 80 acres (all empty at the time of inspec- tion, due to the war conditions), were observed. The one warehouse and transit shed examined was of several stories height. Cargo is landed on the ground- floor platform, which is at the level of freight-car floors. These cars travel on standard-guage tracks between the warehouse and edge of quay and also inside the warehouse. Cargo is handled by means of hydraulic cranes similar to those described hereinbefore for other ports. Cargo intended for car shipment is wheeled directly into the cars; that intended for storage on the floors above is lifted through trap doors by ordinary chain hoist. There are Some few single-story sheds. t Plate No. XX.

No new devices for cargo handling were ob- served. Perhaps the best equipment is in connection with the Northeastern Railway Co. property at Tyne dock, where there are 38 steam, hydraulic, and electric cranes; also 14 warehouses and sheds for the storage of grain and other cargoes. The available timber storage at this point alone is 215 acres. Both sides of the river are skirted by branches of the Northeastern Rail- way, and the railway facilities for the Tyne improvement commission's docks and the Northeastern Railway Co.'s docks seem adequate. TUGS, BARGES, AND LIGHTERS. These are operated on the Tyne as a matter of private enterprise. In passing down the river a few barges were observed. LAB R AND STEVEDORING. Iabor is employed both by the day and by the piece. The commission pays almost exclusively by the day, while the Northeastern Railway Co. pays almost exclusively by the piece. Labor for coal handling is paid for almost entirely on tonnage basis. Teamers—that is, the men who ride the coal cars to the tipple—now earn about £6 per week. SFHIPBUILDING. The shipbuilding industry on the Tyne is very extensive, probably only Second to that on the Clyde. Going down the river, there was not sufficient time to stop off for close inspection, but the following plants, with handling equipment, were observed: Armstrong, Withworth dº Co., Elswick Works.--Large jib crane, of which the capacity could not be determined. This was only one of this company’s works, and no shipbuilding was in progress there. R. W. Hawthorn, Leslie dé Co.—Shear legs and standard crane. Wood, Skinner dé Co.—Wooden masts only alongside building ways. Armstrong, Withworth dé Co. (another plant).-Hammer-head gantry cranes for four slips, with wooden gin poles and standard gauge yard travel. ing cranes to serve the submarine ways. This company has a jib gantry along the quay wall for fitting-out purposes. - W. Dobson dº Co.—Gin poles only to serve shipways for a considerable number of ships. A third plant of the Armstrong Co. has equipment similar to the second plant. Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson (Ltd.).-Gin poles for shipways and shear legs for fitting out. Also overhead runways equipped with Cantilever cranes, serving three shipways, and closed sheds of great height for two large ways; also for this same plant, farther down the river, cantilever cranes on high runways for five shipways. 52 p ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. R. W. Hawthorn, Leslie dé Co.—Guyed steel masts with horizontal jibs for six ways; also a gantry jib crane and shear legs on quay wall for fitting out; also wood gin poles for four ways and overhead runway with traveling jib crane for joint service of two ways and fitting out. The Northeastern Marine Engineering Co.—High tower crane, with ham- mer-head and trolley jib of large capacity on the quay wall for fitting out; also a traveling jib crane of ordinary type on this same quay wall. The Wallsend Shipway dº Engineering Co.—Large tower crane on the quay wall, apparently of identical construction to that just described for the Northeastern Co. This company also has a large floating crane, with long but not high reach, probably of about 50 tons capacity. The Cleland Shipbuilding Co.—Wood gin poles only for shipways service, The Tyson. Iron Shipbuilding Co.—Wood gin poles only for shipways service. The Palmer Shipbuilding dé Iron Co.—Two cableways, extending the entire length of each of two building slips. e The Northumberland Shipbuilding dº Iron Co.—Guyed masts of both wood and steel, with jibs. Swan, Hunter dº Co.—Large floating jib derrick. J. P. Reynoldson dé Co.—Wood masts and booms for shipways service. Charles Reynoldson dº Co.—Wood masts and booms for shipways service. In addition to the above, a 65-ton revolving pillar crane was noted on the side of the river quay. Other equipment noted consisted mostly of standard gauge, steam traveling cranes along the river quay. There was an occasional hydraulic tower jib crane. THE PORT OF HULL. The city of Hull lies some 21 miles from the mouth of the river Humber and has a population of 275,000. Its chief export business is coal and its chief imports are lumber, grain, and ore. * Plate XXI, attached hereto, shows the general arrangement of the dock system and its relation to the river front. Queen's dock, Prince's dock, Hum- ber dock, Albert dock, Railway dock, William Wright dock, St. Andrew’s dock, and St. Andrew’s dock extension are all old developments, restricted by their relationship to the closely built-up city. The two docks last mentioned are used for the fish trade only and are suitable for the smaller vessels. Vic- toria dock, used almost exclusively for coaling, is also an old development. (For dock systems previously mentioned, see Pl. XXII.) The depth of water in these docks ranges from 14 to 18 feet at mean low water, with somewhat less for the fish docks. The riverside quay is free to the rise and fall of the tide. This quay has single-story, open sheds, and is used for both passengers and cargo. The depth of water alongside is about the same as that inside the neighboring basins as above given. - The Alexandra dock is a more recent development, but is not wholly up to date. (See Pl. XXIII.)

XXI as the “new joint dock,” and separately, in greater detail on Pl. XXIV entitled “King George dock and Salt End jetty, Hull”). The Alexandra dock has depths ranging from 26 to 34 feet, while the King George has 36 to 42 feet. The range of tide in the river proper being about 22 feet, all of these dock systems are behind locks. ORGANIZATION. The Hull dock system is entirely in the hands of the railroads. The Northeastern Railway owns all of the docks with the exception of the Alex- andra and King George. The Alexandra is the property of the Hull & Barns- ley Railway, while the King George is the joint property of the two railway systems. Plates XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV show the general layouts. DRY DOCKS AND REPAIR PLANTS. There are five dry docks at this port, ranging in length from 460 to 550 feet. These are all owned by the railway companies. The William Wright graving dock is 500 feet long, 53 feet wide, and has 15 feet of water over the sill. The dimensions of the other dry docks are as shown on Plates XXIII and XXIV, the two at the Alexandra dock being, of course, owned by the Hull & Barnsley Railway, while the two at the King George dock are jointly owned by the two railways. These are all masonry graving docks of good construction. The only ones equipped with modern handling devices are those at King George dock, where an electric gantry crane, traveling on a 32-foot gauge between the dry docks, has a reach beyond the centers of these docks, with a capacity at full reach of 12 tons and at short reach of 25 tons. Repair work at Hull is a matter of private enterprise. The only repair facilities noted in passing were the shops located at the King George graving dock. This is a private company, which leases its ground from the joint rail- way ownership. BUNIKERING AND CARGO COAL. As this is a large coal-handling port, there are numerous tips, most of which are elevators and jib cranes of types similar to those hereinbefore de- scribed for other ports. All of these handle whole carloads at one time and tip them into the vessel, most of them being of the elevator platform type. A variant noted here consists of two elevators alongside the quay, one in a fixed position and the other on a track paralleling the quay, so that a ship may be brought alongside and the movable crane so adjusted that two hatches of the ship may be worked at one time. The hourly rate of each of these elevators is 250 tons. Another device not heretofore noted was located at the King George dock and consisted of a belt conveyor running in a covered way at a considerable distance overhead, thus spanning the intervening railway tracks. A coal pit 54 ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. for each belt is located several hundred feet back from the edge of the quay, into which cars are end or bottom dumped, end dumping being accomplished by means of a tipple, hydraulically operated. The pit feeds the belt, the pier or quay end of which can be elevated or lowered to suit the height of the vessel to be coaled. The hourly capacity of this belt system is 500 tons. It was stated that a material objection to it lies in the fact that there are hun- dreds of parts to lubricate. These parts become clogged with coal dust and breakage results, so that the maintenance cost is always high. There are practically no barges used at this port for coaling or bunkering ships. OIL BUN RERING. Other than for Admiralty use, there is no provision for oil bunkering at Hull. For this purpose, however, two oil tanks, each of 5,000 tons capacity, have been installed—one at the King George and one at the Alexandra docks. Ten-inch pipes lead from the tanks to the river jetty, where flexible steel hose is connected for delivery to destroyers. . No figures were obtainable on the rate of delivery, which is mainly by gravity, although there is a pump available to accelerate the flow. The tanks are of the ordinary type of steel construction. At the Salt End jetty there are several groups of commercially owned oil tanks. Oil is delivered here by tankers and is taken away entirely by tank cars for inland use. WAREHOUSES, HANDLING, AND RAILWAYS. At the older dock systems there are some few cranes of comparatively small reach, practically all of which are hydraulically operated. These are indicated by circles on Plate XXI. Only a few sheds exist on these quays, none of which is modern. - At the Alexandra dock the handling equipment is comparatively modern, and the marginal railways at the quay side and at the front and rear of the sheds are very good, with large railway yards in the near vicinity at the rear of the buildings. There is ample open space between the edge of the quay and the sheds, with two lines of standard-gauge railway, in addition to which there is a broad-gauge track for gantry cranes, which can unload into the railway cars or to the ground-floor platform of the sheds. These ground-floor platforms are built level with the freight-car floors. While there are not many transit sheds, most of those observed were of very good construction. Han- dling at the rear thereof is done under shed cover by electric jib cranes, secured to the outer shed columns opposite the doorways of the buildings. The upper floors of these buildings, some of which are five stories high, are used for storage. In general, it may be said that there is nothing new to describe about the crane equipment, the location of which is very well shown on Plate XXI. The King George dock, which is not yet entirely complete, and the greater part of which dates from 1914, has the most modern equipment and transit sheds. The greater part of the general handling equipment is around the northwest arm of this dock, as shown by Plate XXIV. It is worthy of note Plate No. XXIII.

There are also three large transit sheds on each side of the basin, each shed being about 375 feet long, with spaces of about 75 feet between the ends of the sheds. Those on the northerly side are only one story high, but are built strongly enough for the addition of two stories. Those on the southerly side are two stories high, with a flat roof on which cargo may be landed and which at the time of inspection contained lumber. The crane equipment, both on the quay and on the rear sides of the roofs, is excellent. It is electrically operated and has a great reach, so that ship's holds may be plumbed, the cargo landed and placed on railway cars running on the very wide roadway in front of the sheds, or on either floor or the roof of the sheds. If on the roof, the roof cranes can pick up the material and land it on cars at the rear. As will be seen from Plate XXIV, the railroad trackage and railroad yards are well laid out and quite adequate. The build- ings are of reinforced concrete. An improvement not yet complete will consist of belt conveyors in sub- ways, under the roadways between the buildings and the edge of the quay. These belt conveyors will extend the entire distance along the north and south side of the northwest arm of the basin, and will discharge into belt-bucket elevators, which in turn discharge into the 40,000-ton granary at the head of the slip. This granary is equipped with belt conveyors capable of discharging bulk cargo into barges lying along No. 2 quay. There are no handling appli- ances inside the transit sheds. TUGS, BARGES, AND LIGHTERS. 5 5 These are a matter of private enterprise, except those owned by the rail- ways for their own uses. A considerable portion of the imports of this harbor, consisting mostly of grain and seed, is discharged over the side from ships to barges and the barges then floated to the various mills on the River Hull, which runs through the city. LABOR AND STEVEDORING. Labor is paid almost exclusively by the day. Piecework is confined to the labor which rides the coal cars down to the tipples and to lumber handling. SHIPBUILDING. The works of Earl & Co., whose shipways are served by guyed steel masts, with steel booms, manhandled, were observed in passing. This concern also has a fitting-out crane mounted on a high steel tower, with hammer-head jib, carrying a trolley, and electrically operated. The capacity of this crane is 100 tons. THE PORTS OF GRIMSBY AND IMMINGHAM. The port of Grimsby is situated at the mouth of the Humber River, so that deep-draft vessels may come alongside, direct from the sea, under their own steam. (See Pl. XXV.) The development is an old one, the Royal dock, 56 ENGLISH PORT FACITITIES. the first one undertaken, having been completed in 1852. In 1872 the Alex- andra and Union docks were added and the old dock deepened, and all com- pleted in 1879. Some general statistics with regard to this port are given in appendix 31, excerpts from handbook entitled “Immingham and Grimsby.” There is a large fish trade here, the two fish docks occupying an area of 29 acres. Plate XXVI shows the general arrangement of the docks. Immingham dock is the modern development and lies 6 miles up the river from Grimsby. (See Pl. XXV.) Here, too, it is claimed that deep-draft steamers may come alongside under their own power. Appendix 31, excerpts from the handbook above noted, on Immingham and Grimsby, gives general statistics with regard to the Immingham dock. This dock was only begun in 1906 and was first opened for business in 1912. It is essentially a railroad development. It is claimed that this is the geographical port for the South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Nottinghamshire coal, and especial attention has been directed to the facilities for shipping this coal. The storage sidings have a capacity of 170,000 tons of coal and the empty sidings about 5,500 empty coal cars. Plate XXVII gives the general layout of the dock and railway systems; there is ample room for growth. In normal times the principal export is coal, of which 2,200,000 tons were exported in the only complete year of operation before the war started. The principal imports under normal conditions are mine props and other timber, ore, and paper pulp. * - Grimsby being an old port, without notable modern development, unless hereinafter especially noted, the remarks will be confined to the docks at Immingham. ORGANIZATION. Both Immingham and Grimsby are owned by the Humber Commercial Railway & Dock Co., a subsidiary of the Great Central Railroad. DRY DOCKS AND REPAIR PLANTS. There are three graving docks at Grimsby, 400 feet, 400 feet, and 450 feet long, respectively, and one at Immingham 740 feet long. (For dimensions see appendix 31). There is one privately owned repair plant at Immingham, operated in conjunction with the graving dock, and it was stated that the same company which operates this plant has a secondary plant in another section of the dock area. This company leases its ground from the railroad company. There are doubtless other repair plants at Grimsby operated under private manage- ment. BUNECERING AND CARGO COAL. For the English system of handling Small railway cars the cargo and bunkering facilities are excellent. The coaling quay is 2,350 feet long, and on it there are seven high elevation, hydraulically operated coal elevators, Plate No. XXV. HMMINGHAM DOCK, ENGLAND.

The opera- tion of these elevators is precisely like that of similar elevators described for previous coal ports. Full cars are taken on the elevator by gravity at the yard level, and after discharge are ejected upon a high level trestle, thus returning to the empty yard by gravity. Appendix 31 gives further details with regard to these coaling arrangements, and Plate XXVII shows the general arrange- ment of tracks leading to and from the hoist, and their relationship to the general yard. There are eight sets of standard gauge lines leading from the full-storage yards to the elevators, so that mixed cargoes of coal may be handled, and four tracks from each elevator for the return of the empties. In addition to the elevators there is a 50-ton crane at the end of the quay which projects into the dock. (See Pl. XXVII.) This may also be used for coaling. OIL BUNIKERING. Other than for the Admiralty, there is no oil bunkering at this port. There is one oil-bunkering tank for Admiralty purposes similar to those described for the port of Hull. WAREHOUSEs, HANDLING, AND RAILWAYS. The mineral quay (see Pl. XXVII) occupies the northerly side of the southwest arm of the main dock. There are no sheds on this quay. It has four sets of tracks, with a central elevated single rail to support the inside leg of each of 10 gantry cranes. It was explained that this elevated rail was provided in order to keep free the cross-over points of the railway system. The cranes have a 75-foot reach and can plumb not only all the railroad tracks, but also can land material on the storage area behind the tracks. The cranes are of 3 and 5 tons capacity, and are hydraulically operated. The en- gineer in charge stated that, in his opinion, hydraulic operation is preferable _to electric, although not quite so rapid. In connection with this subject of cranes, attention is particularly invited to those shown in front of the transit shed on the westerly wall ºf the Royal dock (see Pl. XXVI), and to the fact that these cranes are alt-hately of 5 and 3 tons capacity. There are three transit sheds at the edge of the quay wall, with ample trackage facilities on both sides. There is very little in the way of handling facilities on the inside of these sheds; what there is consists of small portable jib cranes. The roofs are of too light a construction to support overhead equipment. One of these sheds, containing about 2 acres of floor space, is said to have cost £16,000. . One grain elevator, with capacity of 15,000 tons, was observed. It has a chain-bucket elevator on the quay, capable of being lowered into the ship's hold, and thus discharging upon belts which run overhead and in turn dis- charge into pits inside the elevator building, where the grain is again raised by chain-belt buckets and discharged upon high level belts, which discharge 58 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. into the various compartments. This is not considered as good or as fast an installation as those at Manchester and Hull. The 50-ton crane above described in connection with coaling can also be used for general purposes. TUGS, BARGES, AND LIGHTERS. The rates charged for tug service are given in appendix 31. LABOR AND STEVEDORING. Labor is paid on the day basis. THE PORT OF BRISTOL. The city of Bristol has a population of about 400,000 people and is on the River Avon, about 7 miles from its mouth. (See Pl. XXVIII and XXIX.) The port business is transacted at three different sections, namely, the old city docks (see Pl. XXX), in the heart of the built-up district; the Avonmouth dock (see Pl. XXXI), at the junction of the River Avon and River Severn; and the Portishead dock (see Pl. XXXII), about 2 miles across from the Avon- mouth dock on the River Severn. There is a tidal range here of more than 40 feet, the greatest in the King- dom. The docks are therefore on the tidal-lock system. The city docks were provided in the old sailing-ship days, and no ship of over 325 feet in length can navigate the channel and be accommodated therein. In fact, the river has practically no water in it at extreme low tide. The more recent developments have been made at Avonmouth and Portishead, the former of these two having the most modern equipment. As will be seen from appendix 32, excerpt from official handbook published by the port of Bristol, the depth of water on the sill of the Royal Edward dock of the Avonmouth system is 36 feet at high water, ordinary neap tides, whereas that on the sill of the Portishead dock is only 24 feet, and 23 feet at the city docks, while the relative lengths of the locks are 875, 472, and 350 feet, respectively. Portishead has a fairly good railwayńsystem, a few hydraulic cranes, and some transit sheds, of no especial merit & previous reports are taken into consideration. . In view of the above facts, the city docks and the Portishead dock may be dismissed without further discussion. The Avonmouth development is in two sections (see Pl. XXXI)—the Avonmouth dock and the Royal Edward dock. The Avonmouth dock dates from 1877, when it was opened, with a lock 454 feet long by 70 feet wide, and the Royal Edward, from 1908, when it was opened, with a lock 875 feet long and 100 feet wide. (See heading “Turning Points in the Port's Progress,” appendix 32.) The Royal Edward dock, although not so large as some hereto- fore described, is a very satisfactory development. It is proposed to extend this dock in a northeasterly direction after the war, as shown by Plate XXXI. The principal business of the port is in grain, mineral oil, and lumber. Plate No. XXVIII.

The improvements included the construction of deep-water entrances to the Brunswick dock, the deepening of the Brunswick dock and underpinning Of its walls in Order that it might be used as a half-tide dock or vestibule to the reconstructed System, the extension of the South end of the Brunswick dock and a single-story shed On the east quay Of the Brunswick dock, the reconstruction of the passage between the Brunswick and Toxteth docks, the widening and deepening of the passages between the Brunswick and Coburg docks and the Coburg and Queen's docks respectively, and the deepening of the Coburg dock between these two pas- sages, straightening the north quay Of the Coburg dock, the deepening of the Queen’s dock and construction on the west side of a graving dock and two branch docks with double- story sheds, the widening and deepening Of the passage between the Queen's and Wapping docks, and the construction of two branch docks, with double-story sheds, on the west side of the Wapping dock. .. In 1900 the water was run out of the George's dock, and works were commenced which resulted in the clearance of the space between the river on the west and the Church of St. Nicholas, and on a portion of this the dock board have erected their new palatial Offices. - The Offices of the Royal Liver Friendly Society, one of the tallest buildings in England, occupy part of the site, while the remainder is to accommodate the new offices of the Cunard Co. and a Corporation bathing establishment. THE BIRKENIHEAD DOCKS. The transfer of the Birkenhead dock estate to the Mersey docks and harbor board in 1857 has been of incalculable advantage to Birkenhead, partly because of the necessity of disarming the opposition to the board and partly because of the knowledge of the board of the great possibilities of the Cheshire estate. The extensions of the Morpeth dock, the low-water basin, and Alfred dock, and graving dock in the rear were undertaken. The Great Float was completed and the water admitted in November, 1860. The low-water basin was a source of extraordinary trouble and labor. The foundations were of the most treacherous character and the work had to be constructed on a forest of piles. In September, 1863, the basin was completed, being opened on the occasion of the visit of Admiral Dacres, commanding the Channel Fleet. In January, 1864, an attempt was made to work the gigantic system of sluices designed by Rendel to keep the basin clear of silt and to maintain it at a depth of 10 feet below the level of the lowest tides, but the result was unsatisfactory. The sudden change of level in the Great Float, and the enor- mous rush of water from the entrance seriously endangered the safety of vessels. The board then decided to COnvert the basin into a wet dock, which as altered now forms the Wallasey dock. The Great Northern entrances and the Alfred dock having been com- pleted were formally opened by H. R. H. the duke of Edinburgh, on June 21, 1866, ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 87 The Alfred dock has been lengthened and deepened and maintains the connection be- tween the Great Float and adjoining docks and the river. A further new dock, called the Victoria dock, has been Constructed on the site of the Victoria Wharf. The entrance to this dock is from the East Float. The dock is provided with single-story sheds, 100 feet wide, on its quays, and is well provided with railway facilities. The cost of the work has been upward of £350,000. - The Birkenhead quays are equipped with sheds of modern type, and there are also provided in the system three graving docks. The docks at Birkenhead are served by an extensive system of railway lines con- nected With practically all the quays, and several of the principal railway companies have large goods depots adjoining the docks. The board some years ago acquired a consider- able area of foreshore abutting on the river Mersey, a short distance to the south of the entrances to the Birkenhead docks, and a considerable portion of the foreshore has been leased by the board to Messrs. Canumell, Laird & Co. (Ltd.), who have constructed thereon an extensive shipbuilding yard, two large graving docks, and a wet dock in connection with the building of vessels of the largest size. THE DOCKS. From the Hornby dock at the north end of Liverpool to the Herculaneum dock at the south, the river is fronted for a length of about 6% miles by a system of docks and basins having a water area of 427 acres, and a linear quayage of over 26 miles of every imagin- able type and variety from the gigantic accommodation necessary for the ever increasing size of Atlantic liners to the lesser requirements of the small coaster, in addition to that which will be provided when the new Gladstone docks are completed. On the opposite side of the river the Birkenhead docks, having a water area of 172 acres and 10 miles of quays, forming a part of the whole Mersey system, present the same features of progressive modernism. In order to appreciate the vastness of the dock estate an account is now given of each dock, commencing with the Hornby at the North end. *. Hornby dock. Entrance or passage. te - Position. Width.

PART 3.−PILOTAGE, BUOYING AND LIGHTING, DREDGING, THE LANDIND STAGE, WAREHOUSE. PILOTAGE. The Mersey docks and harbor board are the pilotage authority for the Liverpool pilotage district (which extends from the Middle Mouse Island, off the north coast of Anglesea, to the River Mersey), and have the whole and sole regulation and management of pilots and pilot boats and of the pilotage annuity fund. The Liverpool pilotage service was originally worked by 12 sailing pilot boats, but in 1896 the board, with the object of modernizing the service, introduced two steam pilot boats on the stations, which proved so successful that two years later two additional steam pilot boats were ordered and the entire fleet of sailing cutters disposed of. The service is now worked by four steam pilot boats, with a steam launch for river work. 180135–19—7 - 98 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. BUOYING AND LIGHTING. The extensive system of lighting and buoying in the Liverpool Bay, the Sea Channels leading to the port, and in the River Mersey, is under the control of the board. There are five lighthouses, six telegraph stations, four lightships, and 108 buoys in the Liverpool district. In the main channel leading to the River Mersey, most, and in other channels some, of the buoys show flashing red lights On the port hand entering, and flashing white or green lights on the starboard hand entering, such lights being visible from 3 to 4 miles and greatly assisting navigation at nighttime. The whole of the main channel leading to I.iver- pool is surveyed monthly by the marine surveyor and water bailiff. DREDGING. Some 13 miles from the landing stage is that long-standing handicap to the shipping of Liverpool, the Mersey bar, a bank of sand and silt which obstructed or barred the entrance of vessels at low water. The lowering of this bar formed One of the main objects of im- provement of the approaches to the river, as upon the depth obtained over the bar depended the class of vessels able to enter the river and the period of time during which the entrance could be navigated. To increase the depth of water dredging was commenced as an experiment in 1890, two of the board's ordinary hopper barges of 500 tons capacity each, and until then used for Carrying dock dredgings to sea, having been fitted with centrifugal sand pumps. These vessels were capable of filling their own hoppers with sand at the bar in about half an hour. The result of their work was favorable, and in 1893 a new vessel named the Bramcker, after the then chairman of the board, with a capacity of 3,000 tons, was set to work. So marked was the success of this dredger that another vessel, the G. B. Crow, named after the then chairman of the marine committee, was Ordered and commenced work in 1895. f A new sand pump dredger, the Coromation, was built in 1903 at a cost of about £75,000. This is a twin screw self-propelling dredger with a hopper capacity of 70,000 cubic feet, capable of filling itself with 3,500 tons of sand in 50 minutes from a maximum depth of 65 feet and of propelling itself in its normal steaming trim with a full load and with coal bunkers and water tanks full at a rate of 10 knots per hour. At the beginning of the year 1909 a still larger dredger, named the Leviatham, was completed at a cost of £150,000 and put to Work at the bar and in the Sea channels. This is a twin-screw self-propelling vessel with a hopper capacity of 180,000 cubic feet, capable of filling itself with 10,000 tons of sand in 50 minutes from a maximum depth of 70 feet. The draft of the vessel when fully loaded is about 23 feet. Up to the end of the year 1912 the following quantities of sand had been removed from the bar and the Queens and Crosby Channels, viz: - Tons. Bar 51,052, 640 Queens Channel 70,676, 670 Crosby Channel > & 74, 734, 090 196, 463,400 Before dredging was commenced the depth of water on the bar at dead low water of Spring tides was Only 11 feet, While now there is under the same conditions about 32 feet. The space Over which dredging has been carried on at the bar measures about 6,000 by 1,500 feet wide, the latter being the average width of the buoyed channel through the bar. The quality of the material dredged varies from fine sand mixed with mud, on the Outer slope of the bar, to a coarse sand on the inner slope. Any vessel can now come over the bar practically at any state of the tide and proceed direct via the Queens and Crosby Channels into the Mersey, and, if she be a passenger liner, go alongside the landing stage and disembark her passengers. ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 99 Toward the close of the year 1906 the board, in order to prevent the erosion of the concave bend on the South side of Taylors bank in the Crosby Channel, and the corre- sponding northward extension of the Askew Spit, decided to “revet’’ that side of the said bank with Stone. The work (which was commenced early in 1909 and completed in Novem- her, 1910) Consists in the deposit along the southern face of Taylors bank, below low- water level and well outside the channel, of a layer of small lumps of hard stone in such a manner as to revet Or clothe its slope and so protect the underlying sand from erosion. By these means the channel has been made straighter and more easily navigable by large Vessels. The total length of the revetment is about 2% miles. THE LANDING STAGE. In the Mersey, where the rise of the tide is so considerable, the total range between high and low Water being as much as 33 feet on extreme spring tides and about 11 feet on neap tides, Some device by which vessels could discharge and receive passengers and goods at varying levels of the tide early became necessary. In 1847 the landing stage off St. George's pier was accordingly constructed by the dock trustees, at an expense of £35,157. The stage was 500 feet long, 80 feet wide, and was Supported On iron pontoons. This stage was soon found to be too small for the requirements of the port, and in 1857 a new landing stage opposite the Prince's pier was completed and Opened at a cost of £130,000. It was 1,002 feet in length and 81 feet wide, connected with the land by three bridges rising and falling with the tide. The whole of the stage was reconstructed under the powers of an act of Parliament of 1871. The two separate portions (the George's and Prince's stages) were united by a new construction, and the entire float- ing platform extended 2,063 feet in length by 80 feet in average width. It was com- pleted and awaiting inauguration by the Duke of Edinburgh, when, on July 28, 1874, it was destroyed by fire, the loss being £150,000. In 1876 a new stage was completed and opened for traffic. Extensions have been made at various times until now the total length is 2,478 feet, or nearly half a mile. The stage is a floating structure carrier on iron pontoons, about 200 in number, the normal dimensions being about 80 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. The stage is held in position by a number of bridges connected with the shore and stage by swivel joints and by mooring chains, the shore ends of which are in the river wall. The level of the deck of the stage is about 6 to 8 feet above the water, and, for the ferry passengers, gangways are arranged in fixed positions. For the trans-Atlantic and other vessels movable gangways are used and high level bridges adapted to the towering decks of ocean leviathans have been provided. The main bridges are about 110 feet long, and their incline to the shore is practicable for foot passengers at all states of the tide, but at low water the ordinary bridges would not be practicable for goods traffic, and to meet this case a floating bridge of special con- Struction, 550 feet in length, is provided near the center of the stage. On different parts of the stage buildings and offices have been erected for shelter Sheds, post, telegraph and telephone offices, refreshment rooms, customs examining rooms, shipping Offices, etc. The large trans-Atlantic liners come alongside the stage on their arrival at and departure from the port at all states of the tide, and embark and disembark their pas- Sengers with the luggage, mails, etc. The Riverside Railway station, constructed by the board, was opened in 1895 for the special benefit of travelers who desired to proceed imme- diately to or arrive direct from London. The station occupies a position between the landing stage and the west side of the Prince's dock, and has a total length of 790 feet. Mechanical conveyors are provided for the transfer of luggage from Steamers to rail- Way carriages or other vehicles, and vice versa. The floor of one of the bridges (No. 6) has been converted into two moving platforms worked by electricty and capable of traveling in reverse directions, so that trucks loaded: . gº. 100 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. : : : with baggage may be wheeled onto one platform and go down to the stage and the empty trucks be returned by the other platform, the bridge, when the platforms are Stationary, being left available for passengers, etc., in the Ordinary Way. ... 2 The Prince's jetty, a fixed pile structure extending from the north end of the landing stage to the south side of the Prince's half-tide entrances, is specially arranged for the landing of cattle and goods from coastwise vessels at all States of the tide. Two movable cranes, capable of lifting up to 5 tons, are provided. Adjoining is a wharf with pens for Cattle. WAREHOUSES. The warehouses of the board present features at once Striking and unique. Sailing up the River Mersey, the most important building to be seen on the dock estate is the recently erected tobacco warehouse at the Stanley dock, which is probably the largest warehouse in the world, being 125 feet high, with a total floor area of about 36 acres. The building consists of a vault, quay, and 12 fireproof upper floors, the latter specially constructed for the storage of tobacco, of which they are capable of storing about 60,000 casks in single tier, i. e., without any piling. The quay floor of the warehouse is, of course, used for the landing of cargoes from Vessels in the Stanley dock, and the basement is used for the storage of general goods. Some idea of the magnitude of this warehouse may be gathered from the fact that 27,000,000 bricks and about 6,000 tons of iron were used in its construction. The Warehouse is fitted with hydraulic lifts, hoists, etc., and is lighted by electricity. There are also two smaller blocks of warehouses at the Stanley dock, with a total capacity of about 38,000 casks of tobacco. At the present time there are over 110,000 casks of tobacco stored at the board's ware- houses at Liverpool, which is more than at all the other ports in the United Kingdom put together. Special warehouse accommodation has also been provided by the board for the storage of grain both at Liverpool and Birkenhead. The warehouses at the East Waterloo dock, on the Liverpool side of the river, have a capacity for about 30,000 tons of grain, in addi- tion to a large quay for the landing, etc., of g000s. The grain warehouses at Birkenhead are situated on the north side of the East Float, and have a storage capacity for about 30,000 tons of grain. Each of these Warehouses is fitted with hydraulic machinery lifts, bands, elevators, etc., for the proper and expeditious handling of grain, which can be stored either On floors Or in Silos. The wool warehouse, which is specially set apart for the storage of that article, is situated a little to the eastward of the new tobacco warehouse, and has an actual storage capacity for 118,000 bales of wool, but as it is the practice for the wool to be placed. “on show” at the said Warehouse for public auction, the actual working capacity is reduced to about 54,000 bales. The top floor is provided with a weaving shed roof specially constructed to give a good north light for the convenience of wool buyers. An addition has recently been made to this warehouse, whereby its capacity is increased by about 50 per Cent. Warehouses for the storage of general goods are erected over the quays of the Albert and Wapping docks. Special mention may be made of the Several large cold-storage depots in the port, including one situated in the Albert Dock warehouses, about the center of the dock estate. There are Other depots in proximity to the docks at the north end of the dock estate. The cattle trade at Liverpool is dealt with at the Mersey Cattle warf on the Cheshire side of the River Mersey, and the cattle are landed at two stages (Woodside and Wallasey) from the steamers engaged in the trade. - The animals and the carcasses of animals slaughtered at the Mersey cattle wharf are distributed all Over the United Kingdom. : ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. 101 Tank accommodation for the storage of petroleum in bulk has been provided by the board at the South end of their estate at Liverpool, and similar accommodation has been con- structed at Birkenhead by the large oil companies. The tanks are in direct communication with the railways. PART 4.—GARSTON Docks AND ESTATE. - The Garston docks, with their adjacent warehouses and storage grounds, coal reception lines, and general marshalling sidings, all the property of the London & North Western Railway Co., are situated on the Upper Mersey, about 4 miles south of the Liverpool docks and On the same side of the river. The growing importance of Garston ſis a general and coal-shipping center is largely attributable to its geographical position, since it is in proximity to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the Midlands. It is also Within an exceptionally short haul from the South Lancashire and North Staffordshire coal fields. DOCK ACCOMMODATION. Stalbridge dock. Depth of water g Il Slii.

Extensive coaling facilities have been provided, there being four movable hydraulic tips, each of 30 tons capacity, fitted with antibreakage appliances and end doors On shoots mechanically controlled by operator. These tips are of the latest and most up-to-date type, and capable of tipping coal into vessels at any height up to 45 feet from quay level. The four tips are capable of operating simultaneously into the same vessel. The lock in connection with this dock enables Craft also to enter or leave the other docks approximately two or three hours before or after high water, communication pas- sages existing between the Old, North, and Stalbridge docks. The very far-reaching impor- tance of such a convenience will be appreciated by shippers and Shipowners alike. North dock. Depth of water Width of On Sill. Water | Berthing entrance.— 3I’03. Space.

In order to facilitate the general operations in connection with the important business in minerals, the Company have provided special premises, ade- quately fitted with appliances for the purpose of sampling. “Floored ” berths of a special character have been provided, and accommodation now exists for upward of 100,000 tons of minerals. - There are about 48 acres of storage ground specially leveled for timber and provided with sidings at convenient distances froſh each other, so as to admit of cagoes being Sorted, piled, or Selected, as may be necessary. Special accommodation has been provided for heavy logs, and traveling cranes are available for stacking, etc., which are capable Of piling logs to a height of 30 feet. Coal shipments are conducted day and night, a complete electrical installation being in Operation Sufficient to light the dock entrances, coal hoists, quays, sidings, and storage area, as well as the extensive shunting and marshaling yard on the estate. This system of lighting is also extended to portable lamps for use in the holds of vessels, wherever the nature of the cargo will permit. • Garston being a railway port, goods are transferred direct from the ship to railway wagon, or Vice versa, thus reducing handling, etc., and obviating costly cartage, advantages representing a great Saving to merchants. The additional area provided by the new Stalbridge dock is a great factor in insuring dispatch, the fine range of coal tips, which are of the most modern type, supplying un- surpassed facilities for the expeditious shipment of coal. The coal fields and manufac. turing districts Of Lancashire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire, and the Midlands are in proximity to Garston, and the geographical position of the port should prove of immense advantage to merchants and Steamship owners alike whose business connections are with those centers of activity. * - - In addition to the many facilities provided by the company in their effort to make the port complete in all equipment, it should be mentioned that tenancies have been granted on their estate, whereby engineers, ship store dealers, repairing ShopS, etc., are brought Conveniently near, to the benefit of steamship owners who wish to take advantage of the loading or discharging days in order to effect slight repairs, alterations, etc., without Causing delay to vessels. The London & North Western Railway Co., as owners, control the entire WOrking of the docks, which are, of course, directly connected with their main line system and through the latter with the systems of all the railway Companies in the country. There are Some 70 miles of sidings at the port, of which 8 miles are actually on or alongside the quays, and therefore available for direct Working of cargoes from ship side to trucks, or Vice Versa. The railway company have two passenger stations on the estate, viz, at Dock Road and Church Road, and these are about five minutes' walk from the dockS. gº PART 5.—THE COMMERCE OF THE PORT. In the previous chapters the rise and progress of the dock estate has been traced. It . . . : now remains to consider the trade of the port which has necessitated the building of these | ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. 103 docks with their warehouses and up-to-date appliances for loading and unloading the huge ships which bring wealth to the city. - - In the year 1757 the number of vessels entering the port was 1,371, and the total rates and dues paid on vessels and goods £2,336 15s. In 1912 the number of vessels had risen to 23,483, with tonnage of 17,327,415; the total rates paid on vessels reached £805,726 18s., and the rates and dues paid on goods £753,227 17s. It should be noticed that the tonnage last mentioned merely represents the tonnage of vessels paying rates inward or Outward, as the case may be. To arrive at the total tonnage entering and leaving the port, the ton- nage of 17,327,415 tons must be doubled—34,654,830 tons. As regards her export trade Liverpool stands without a rival in the Kingdom, as the following comparison of the values of exports for the year 1911 at the ports named below Will show : Liverpool ----------------------------------------------- £185, 539, 801 London ------------------------------------------------- 143, 160, 009 Glasgow ––––––––––––––– - - sº sº wº ___ 31, 531, 638 Southampton–––––––––––––––– ----- 31, 410, 879 Hull --------------------------- ___ 30, 618, 209 Cardiff----------------------- - - 12, 667, 833 Swansea ------------------------------------------------ 8, 035, 988 Bristol-------------------------------------------------- 4,017, 312 In the matter of import trade Liverpool stands second to London alone and much exceeds each of the other ports mentioned. The Mersey docks and harbor board, moving with the Spirit of the times, has estab- lished a department to follow up inquiries from traders and up-country firms with a view of affording them information regarding the facilities and charges relating to traffic arrangements at this port. The board have, in addition, opened offices in Birmingham (60 Exchange Buildings) and Leeds (26 Royal Exchange Chambers), where all information may be obtained, and they will also arrange for their representative to call upon traders at their request in regard to these matters. CORN. The corn trade is associated with the earliest annals of the port. Corn was included in the list of articles upon which the corporation claimed the right of levying town dues, and in consequence of foreigners (as nonfreemen were called) not being allowed to trade in the town, much information is obtainable of the trade in early days. The life of a corn merchant in the reign of Elizabeth was not a happy one. “Forestalling ” and “regrating ” were severely dealt with, thus preventing entirely any speculation. In 1562 we read “no freeman shall buy On the market day in Open market Over 6 wyndles of any One grain, and no farmer or traunter shall buy any corn until the town be served.” Traunters were carriers or peddlers against whom an order was made that they should not buy above 2 Wyndles. In 1591 Giles Brooke, mayor in the following year, was fined for exporting grain to Ireland. These fines were rigidly inforced, the more so because the bailiffs were entitled to a share of all fines. The exclusive right of grinding corn belonged to the families of Moore and Crosse of Crosse Hall, who received 1 bushel in every 20 ground. - In the directory of 1766 only eight names are to be found identified with corn; the number of bakers was eight and of flour men 15. $ In 1805 Liverpool was made a warehousing port, and consequently was rendered free for all nations to import, deposit, and reexport merchandise without paying toll or tax unless intended for home consumption. The effect of this act was soon felt, and it is not Surprising, therefore, to read of a proposal to establish a corn exchange in place of the old market, where ducks, geese, and pigs roamed at random. t - 104 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. In the municipal records, under date of April 2, 1806, is found the following: “Re- ceived the report of the select finance committee on the subject of the intended corn exchange proposed to be established in this town, and stated that the proceedings of an open commercial corn exchange in the town of Liverpool will meet with their entire appro- bation and cooperation under proper and suitable rules and regulations.” This exchange was opened in Brunswick Street in 1808. The accommodation, how- ever, soon proved quite inadequate, and an enlarged and improved exchange Was Opened in 1850 and the Corn Trade Association formed to regulate the customs of trade. It is interesting to compare the imports of 1770 with those of the present day. In that year the imports of grain into Liverpool were: Wheat (and flour) from the Isle of Man, 12 bags; foreign oats, 6,050 quarters: Irish oats, 239 quarters; barley from the Isle of Man, 24 quarters; oatmeal, 30 bags. In 1912 nearly 2,000,000 tons were landed in Liver- pool. & Special accommodation has been provided by the dock board for the storage of grain both at Liverpool and Birkenhead. The warehouses at the East Waterloo (lock on the Liverpool side of the river have a capacity for about 30,000 tons of grain and occupy 11,550 square yards. The warehouses at Birkenhead are situated on the north side of the East Float, and are capable of storing about 30,000 tons. - Of late years the port of Liverpool has developed enormously as a milling center and is now in all probability the second largest in the world. TOBACCO. The Virginia tobacco trade was one of the earliest and most diligently cultivated of the rising branches of commerce in the town. The correspondence of Sir Thomas Johnson, of the Norris family of Speke, and of others in the early part of the eighteenth century is full of tobacco, the fluctuations Of the trade, and of the various devices resorted to in Order to make things pleasant with the revenue officers and to escape payment of duty. In the reign of Charles II the trade had become very important, and by the end of the seventeenth Century the Liverpool imports of tobacco were the largest in the Kingdom. In 1795 a large building was erected by the Corporation on the east side of the King's dock as a bonded depot and store. In a few years more storage room was required, and . in 1811 the corporation undertook the erection of a much larger warehouse on the west side of the King's dock. Owing to dock improvements at the King's dock, which necessi- tated the removal of these premises, a new tobacco warehouse was constructed at the Stanley dock. This warehouse is probably the largest in the world, having a total floor area of about 36 acres, equal to 174,240 square yards. It is built in one block, the total length being 723 feet, the width 165 feet, and the height from the level of the road and excluding the vault, 125 feet. tº As a tobacco center Liverpool has no rival in the county. In 1825 the stock in the Liverpool warehouses amounted to 9,011 hogsheads, while at the present time no fewer than 110,000 hogsheads are stored here, and during the year 1912 nearly 38,000 tons were landed. COTTON. The first indication of the cotton trade in Liverpool is found in an advertisement of November 3, 1758: “To be sold by auction at Forbes and Cambell's saleroom, near the exchange, this day at 1 o'clock, 25 bags of Jamaica Cotton in five lots.” In 1766 we have the first mention of cotton brokers, Sir George Drinkwater, of Thomas Street, and Mr. Charles Lowndes, of Water Street. At this time the exchange was within the building now known as the town hall, and in that position it remained for almost half a century, from the beginning of the cotton trade to the removal to Chapel Street. With the introduction of new Spinning machinery the imports of raw cotton increased and Liverpool took the lead in the trade. After the destruction by fire of the interior of the exchange in 1795, the ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 105 reconstructed building was named the town hall, and a new exchange was erected in Chapel Street in 1808. For some time after the close of the American Revolutionary War very small quantities of cotton were imported into Liverpool from the United States, the great bulk coming from the West Indies. The growth of the trade was now very rapid. In 1770 we find about 6,000 bags arriving, in 1800 this had increased to 92,000 bales, while in 1811 a total of 250,000 bales was reached. In 1808 the system of purchase by sample was introduced instead of the old method of inspection of bulk. The year 1841 saw the formation of the Cotton Brokers’ Association. The laying down Of the Atlantic cable and the establishment of the sale of futures resulted in considerable changes in the method, one result being the formation of the Cotton Clearing House. - In 1852 two barrels of cotton arrived from Cape Coast Castle, being the first grown on the west coast of Africa. Strenuous efforts are now being made to increase the imports from British possessions, the general feeling being that it is much to the advantage of inanufacturers to obtain as much of the raw material as possible from the colonies in order to break down the destructive speculation, the dire results of which are often experienced in East Lancashire. Hritish-grown cotton is now landed at Liverpool from east and con- tral Africa, Natal, West and East India, the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands, and {}ueensland, while the foreign grown comes from the United States, Brazil, Turkey, Peru, San Domingo, Chima, and Egypt. The imports from all sources landed in Liverpool in the year 1909 amounted to 778,335 tons. In 1896 a new cotton exchange was Opened, and 10 years later the present palatial building in Oldhall Street was opened by the then Prince and Princess of Wales. SUGAR. Lu Sir Edward MOOre's account. Of Dale Street in 1667 we find the first mention of the opening of the trade with the West Indies, which has since been a source of great wealth to Liverpool. Speaking of a plot of land in Dale Street, he says: “Sugar House Close. This croft fronts the street for some 27 yards and I call it the Sugar House Close, because One Mr. Smith, a great sugar baker at London, a man, as report says, worth forty thousand pounds, came from London to treat with me. According to agreement he is to build all the front 27 yards a stately house of good hewn stone, four-storey high, and then to go through the same building with a large entry, and then on the back side to erect a house for boiling and drying Sugar, Otherwise called a sugar-baker's house. If this be once done, it will be a trade of at least £40,000 a year from the Barbados, which formerly the town never knew.” This Mr. Smith was in partnership with John Danvers. Daniel Danvers, a brother of John, appears to have Come to Liverpool about 1670 to manage the sugar refinery here. He quickly rose to be a very prominent citizen and the proprietor of a large and suc- cessful business. y The sugar trade thus commenced has continued to the present time, the streets off Dale Street being still the center of the industry. The imports of sugar during the year 1909 amounted to nearly 350,000 tons. CATTLE TRADE. The cattle trade is dealt with at the Mersey cattle wharf, where accommodation is provided for about 6,600 head of cattle and 22,000 sheep, with extensive chill rooms with a capacity of 3,380 carcasses and slaughterhouse room for 3,400 head of cattle and 3,000 sheep per day. ; All the recent improvements in connection with this extensive trade have been intro- tluced, and it is generally acknowledged that the wharf is the most complete and best appointed in the Kingdom. - During the year 1912, 163,550 oxen, 349,542 sheep, and 69,016 pigs were dealt with. I06 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. PETROLEUM. At the base of the cliffs, On the east and South sides of the Herculaneum Dock, cham- bers have been excavated in the solid rock for the special purpose of affording a safe and convenient means of Storing petroleum in barrels. These magazines are each 50 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 19 feet high, and are separated by a wall of solid rock 5 feet thick. The magazines are capable of containing 60,000 barrels of petroleum. For storage in bulk, tanks have been erected, 2 of the capacity of 3,000 tons, 1 of 2,500, and 2 of 2,000 tons, the total capacity therefore being 12,500 tons, or about 80,000 barrels. Pipes are laid from the west quay of Herculaneum Branch Dock to the tanks, which are filled by means of the ships' pumps. The filling of barrels by gravitation is carried out on the terraces below the tanks, and the filled barrels are removed by road and railway, laid at the level of the dock quays. The tanks are surrounded by moats capable of containing the whole contents of the tanks in case of accident. In addition to the foregoing, tanks for the storage of petroleum, particularly petro- leum Spirit, have been erected by private enterprise on land leased from the board at the West Float, Birkenhead. PROVISION TRADE. For many years Liverpool has been in the front rank in the provision trade. Being the gateway of the Atlantic, it is only natural that the large number of ships trading with Canada and the United States of America should return laden with food products. The corn trade has already been dealt with. There remain, however, the enormous bacon imports, Cheese, Canned goods, butter, eggs, etc. - Aſ ISO'FLI, AN EOUS TRADES. In addition to the trades enumerated above, many other articles are imported very largely. Among the most important are wool (the growth of which trade has necessitated the building by the dock board of a special warehouse in Great Howard Street, with inspection room for the Yorkshire buyers); palm oil and kernels; rubber, both from Brazil and the West Coast of Africa; timber, ivory, fruits (green and dried), hides, tallow, etc. SHIPBUILDING AND SHIP-REPAIRING YARDS. Liverpool in the days of wooden sailing ships was a shipbuilding center Of Some importance, but since the advent of iron and steel ships, that trade has developed more rapidly in places like the Clyde and the Tyne, which are nearer the coal and iron supplies. It looks, however, as though a revival of the shipbuilding industry is taking place on the River Mersey, for the old established firm of Laird Bros., Birkenhead, having amal- gamated with the steel-plate makers, Canumel & Co., of Sheffield, the amalgamated com- pany has spent an immense sum of money in providing on the shore of the Mersey, at Tran- mere, one of the most up-to-date and best-equipped shipbuilding establishments in the COuntry. These premises extend to 76 acres, and consist of launching slipways; two wet docks for repairing purposes, one 15 acres in extent and the other 23 acres; two graving docks, respec- tively 900 feet long and 95 feet wide, and 750 feet long and 85 feet wide; engine-erecting, machine, and numerous other shops and appliances, including a large electric Crane capable of lifting 150 tons. There are also many firms who undertake repairs to ships within the port. Of these mention may be made of Harland & Wolff (Ltd.), who have recently embarked upon a huge scheme of workshops at Bootle; David Rollo & Sons, Sandhills; Clover, Clayton & Co. (Ltd.), at Birkenhead ; and H. & C. Grayson (Ltd.), in the West Float, Birkenhead, and at Garston. APPENDIX 6. THE ACCOUNTS OF THE MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOR BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDING º 1st JULY, 1917.

BY-LAws As To GRAVING Docks MADE BY THE MERSEY Docks AND HARBOR BoARD, ON THE 20TH MAY, 1880, UNDER “THE MERSEY DOCK ACTS CONSOLIDATION ACT, 1858,” AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRADE ON JUNE 14, 1880. GRAVING DOCK BY-LAWS. Interpretation of “graving dock.” º 1. The expression “graving dock ’’ in any of the following by-laws shall include any graving dock, graving block, inclined plane, patent slip, gridiron, or other apparatus for the time being belonging to or provided by the board for the repair of vessels, unless there be something in the subject or context repugnant to such construction. 'Terms of admittance to graving docks—payment of rates. 2. No vessel shall be admitted into any graving dock until she shall have been regu- lated in accordance with the by-law No. 3. No vessel shall be regulated until she shall have been entered at the dock office on the entry list and the undermentioned sum paid at the office of the treasurer of the board as an entrance fee, viz: If such payment be made before the vessel shall have arrived in the Mersey, the sum of £5, or if such payment be made after the vessel shall have arrived in the Mersey, the sum of £2. One entrance fee shall COver any reregulation which may be permitted under by-law No. 3. The rates for the use by any vessel of any graving dock shall be due and payable at the treasurer's Office forthWith upon delivery Of the account Of Such rates to the master, Owner, managing OWner, Ol' consignee Of Such vessel, or to the person who shall have signed the regulating bOOk for the OWner Of Such vessel, pursuant to the by-law No. 3, and if such rates shall be paid at the treasurer's Office within 10 days after the delivery Of Such account, the entrance fee paid in respect of such vessel shall be returned; but if such rates shall not be paid in manner and within the period above mentioned, the entrance fee paid in respect of such Vessel Shall be forfeited to the board. No vessel shall be admitted into any graving dock SO long as any graving dock rates in respect Of any vessel belonging to the Same Owner, Or having the same master, consignee, Or managing Owner, Shall be in arrear. The entry Of any vessel on which £5 shall have been paid shall be available for eight weeks next follow- ing the date of such entry and no longer, and if the vessel does not within that period, by virtue of such entry, go into a graving dock named by the harbor master for that purpose, the entrance fee shall be forfeited to the board unless the vessel be lost before the expira- tion of the eight weeks, in which case the deposit shall be returned. The entry of any vessel on which £2 shall have been paid shall be available for eight weeks next following the date of such entry unless such vessel shall in the meantime leave the port, in which Case the entry shall no longer be available and the entrance fee shall be forfeited to the . board. The above regulations shall apply to any vessel requiring the use of a gridiron, save that the entrance fee shall be £1, and that the entry shall be available for eight weeks next following the date of such entry in all cases, whether made before or after the vessel shall have arrived in the Mersey. 134 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 135 Regulation of vessels; time of occupation of graving docks. 3. No vessel shall be entitled to be admitted into any graving dock without having the time and manner of her entry into and of her remaining in such graving dock previously prescribed and regulated at the harbor master's office in books to be kept there for that purpose. No regulation shall be considered complete until the owner of the vessel or his representative Shall have signed the regulating book. Save as hereinafter mentioned in this by-law, no vessel shall remain in any graving dock longer than the time for which such vessel shall have been regulated. If before the expiration of the time for which a vessel was originally regulated in any graving dock, not being a Short-time graving dock, the harbor master shall be satisfied on a written application to be made to him for that purpose that circumstances not known when the vessel was regulated, or beyond the control of the parties engaged in the work, will prevent the completion within the period for which the vessel was regulated, of work which can only be done in a dry dock, a new regulation may, if the harbor master shall think proper, be made for such further time, not exceeding a neap, as he may think requisite for the completion of such work; but no vessel shall be allowed to be reregulated more than once except with the sanction of the committee of the board for the management of the docks and quays. Every owner, master, managing owner, or consignee of any vessel which shall remain in any graving dock after the expiration of the time for which such vessel shall have been originally regulated, or reregulated as above mentioned, and the person by whom the regulating book was signed in respect of such vessel shall be deemed to have com- mitted a Separate Offense against this by-law in respect of every tide during which such vessel shall so remain in any graving dock, and the infliction of any penalty or penalties in respect of any such offense or offenses shall not relieve the parties from their liability to pay the graving dock rates payable to the board in respect of the use of the graving dock beyond the period for which the vessel was regulated or reregulated. Admission of vessels for short periods to “short-time graving docks.” 4. Such graving docks as the board shall from time to time set apart for that purpose shall be considered as “short-time graving docks,” and in regulating the admission of vessels into any of such docks the harbor master shall be at liberty to give priority of regulating to Such vessels as shall require the use of such dock for the lowest number of tides not exceeding 10 tides without regard to the order in which such vessels stand on the entry list. But no vessel to which priority shall have been given under this provision shall be entitled under any circumstances to remain in the graving dock beyond the time for Which she was regulated. At expiration of regulated period gates may be opened. 5. If any vessel shall not leave a graving dock at the expiration of the period for which She was regulated or reregulated, the harbor master, whether such vessel may or may not be then water-tight or capable of being floated, may open the gates of such graving dock to let out any vessel therein, or to admit any other vessel thereto; and any loss Or damage Sustained by any vessel by reason of the water being so let into any such graving dock Shall be exclusively borne by the owners of such vessel.” Provision for vessels not entering graying docks in turn. 6. On failure to place a vessel in the graving dock, for which she has been regulated On the day appointed for that purpose in the regulating book, such vessel shall be struck off the entry list. The owner, master, managing owner, or consignee of such vessel shall On demand pay to the board the amount, if any, which the board may have lost in respect of graving dock rates by reason of such failure, and, except under the circumstances herein- after mentioned, her entrance fee shall be forfeited to the board; but if the harbor master * Under the two hundred and seventy-ninth section of “The Mersey dock acts consolidation act, 1858,” the board are empowered to remove from . graving docks vessels not removed by the owners in due course, and to recover from the owners all expenses incurred in so doing, including the cost of ballast and making the vessel water-tight if necessary. 136 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. shall be satisfied that such failure arose by stress of weather, or other circumstances which shall in his judgment be a sufficient reason for the same, then on payment of the amount, if any, which the board may have lost as aforesaid, the vessel may be reinstated in her original position on the entry list without payment of a fresh entrance fee. W essels not to be broken up in graving docks. 7. No vessel shall be broken up or commenced to be broken up while in any graving dock without the consent of the board. signified in writing, under the hand of their secre- tary for the time being. The harbor master may forthwith remove from the graving dock any vessel which shall be commenced to be broken up without such consent, and all the costs consequent upon sugh removal shall be paid by the master, owner, or consignee of such vessel or by the perS6n who signs the regulating book for such vessel. liarbor master to be at liberty to give priority to damaged vessels. S. The harbor master may, in his discretion, allow any vessel which shall have put back in a damaged condition, or which shall under any other circumstances be in such a condition as may in his judgment render her immediate admission to a graving dock actually necessary, to enter a graving dock in priority to all other vessels standing on the regulating list. Wessels not to be scuttled in graving docks. 9. No vessel shall be Scuttled in any graving dock without the special permission in writing of the harbor master. Blocks to be laid and lines stretched; and for iron Wessels caps to be placed on blocks. 10. The OWner Or master Of any vessel intended to enter any graving dock Shall cause the blocks to be laid and the lines stretched for her reception at least three hours before high water of the tide for which Such vessel may have been regulated to enter such graving dock; and in case of iron vessels he shall also cover the dock blocks with hard wood caps of a sufficient thickness to prevent the dock blocks being cut or injured by the vessel’s keel. Whenever caps are required to be placed on the dock blocks notice thereof shall be given to the harbor master at the time of regulating in order that a proportionate allowance may be made as to the depth of water. Any vessel in respect of which any breach of this by-law Shall occur shall be struck off the entry list, and the entrance fee shall be forfeited to the board. * Blocks, shores, and stages to be provided by the board. 11. Blocks and horizontal shores and stages will be provided by the board as follows, Viz : Blocks.--—One set for the length given at the time of regulating. Horizontal shores.—Two for every 15 feet of the length given at the time of regulating.

No person shall use or take away any such block, shore, pole, or plank or other article helonging to the board without permission from the inspector of graving dock stages, and every person using or taking away any such block, shore, pole, or plank, or other article with such permission shall return and replace the same when required by such inspector. Tackle and appendages of graving docks not to be injured. 12. No person shall destroy, cut, or otherwise damage or allow to go adrift any of the blocks, shores, machines, stoves, water Cisterns, stages, or pipes, pitch pots, cranes, tackle, or other appendages belonging to any graving dock, nor throw down timber Or other, heavy thing upon the steps and stonework, or pass the same into or out of the dock, otherwise than by the shoots prepared for that purpose. Swealing of vessels in graving docks. 13. The master, owner, or consignee of any vessel requiring to be swealed while in any graving dock may, with the permission of the harbor master, cause such vessel to be ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 137 swealed, on condition that such owner, master, or consignee shall, at his own expense, pro- cure the attendance of a waterman with the water laid on and with a hose of sufficient length to reach every part of the vessel ; and that such waterman shall remain constantly near such vessel during Such Swealing. Gridirons. - 14. Before any vessel regulated for a gridiron shall be placed thereon her master, owner, or consignee shall give notice to the master of the gridiron three hours, at least. previous to high water of his intention to place such vessel upon the gridiron that tide; and any vessel failing to go on the gridiron according to such notice shall be struck off the entry list and forfeit the entrance fee : and if any vessel regulated for a gridiron shall not go on the same within two tides from the time of so regulating $. shall be placed at the bottom of the entry list, unless in either of such cases the harbor master shall be satisfied that such vessel was prevented from going On solely by stress of weather, want of water, or other Sufficient CauSe. g Wessels not to remain on gridirons more than five tides. 15. No vessel Shall, except by the Special permission of the harbor master, be allowed to remain upon any gridiron for a longer period than five tides, the tide going on to be counted one tide and the tide Coming Off One tide.

Masters of vessels to be answerable for the acts of their crew or persons employed about Such Vessels, but may recover from such persons penalties incurred by their default. (S. S. 323 and 324.) Cutting mooring ropes, etc. Persons Cutting or defacing any mooring rope or chain or injuring any buoy, buoy rope, or cable belonging to any lost anchor, will incur a penalty of £10 and be required to pay the amount of damage. (S. 341.) MEMORANDUM. The annexed form of letter to shipmasters being carefully placed on board each ship entering the port, the board have thought it an opportunity for also drawing the attention of the same parties to a few of the more prominent of the by-laws for the regulation of VeSSelS in the dOckS: No gunpowder is allowed to be brought into the docks, nor to be shipped there under any circumstances. No dogs are allowed to be kept on board Ships in docks. The use of lights on board vessels in the docks is the subject of strict regulation, and no naked lights are permitted, except under very special stipulations. No ballast, rubbish, or other matter is allowed to be thrown into the docks or any Of the sea channels to the river. - The presence of a ship keeper is required on board vessels in the docks to attend to mooring, etc. The above regulations, though enforced by heavy penalties, are frequently infringed by reason, as is alleged, of masters of vessels being ignorant Of their existence, and it is to obviate that objection that the above brief note of their purport is given. But a full abstract of all the by-laws and rules for dock management is to be had gratis at the office of the master of every dock, and all shipmasters are earnestly recommended to avail themselves of that facility for making themselves fully acquainted therewith, and of so protecting themselves from the annoyance necessarily Consequent upon levying the penalties. The board have also to intimate that the use of paraffin, petroleum, naphtha, kerosene, and other mineral oils or spirits is strictly prohibited, accidents having occurred on board of Ships frequenting the port from such oils, etc., having been used. 176 ENGLISH PORT FAQILITIES. MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOR BOARD, GENERAL MANAGER AND SECRETARY'S OFFICE, Liverpool 191—— * SIR: It has come under Our notice that a heavy tax is levied upon ships that come to this port in the form of fees to the servants of the board. The dock authorities have always strictly forbidden anyone in their employ taking such fees under pain of Clismissal, but they are informed that the Custom still prevails. The board have just dismissed an old, Steady, and Otherwise trustworthy Servant for receiving a fee from a master Of a Vessel, and they would earnestly entreat all ShipOwners and masters of vessels visiting this port to assist them in putting a stop to a system which, besides entailing a perfectly useless expense on themselves, has the effect of demoralizing a large body Of their fellow men. The dock masters and dock gatemen are instructed to give in all cases the utmost amount of facility which the docks will afford with the least possible trouble, inconven- ience, or expense to the Ships Visiting them ; and if at any time a master or Owner has reason to believe that this is not done, he is earnestly requested to report it to the harbor master Or to One Of the assistant harbor masterS. The board trusts that this explanation will insure the cooperation of shipmasters and Owners in putting an end to a System the perSeverance in which, after its consequences have been brought fully before them, not only entails disgrace and ruin on the receiver but would be dishonorable to the giver.

RULES AND REGULATIONs APPLYING TO MERCHANDISE AND MINERALs DISCHARGED or SHIPPED AT THE MANCHESTER DOCKS. CUSTODY OF AND REGULATIONS WITH REGARD TO GOODS. WHILE LYING ON THE DOCK QUAYS OR IN - THE TRANSIT SHEDS. 1. All goods laid down on or passing over the quays of the company or deposited in the Quay Sheds are at the owner's sole risk in every respect; the Company has no custody of Such goods and will not be responsible for leakage, loss of weight or measure, or for damage by fire, theft, strikes, combinations of workmen, weather, deterioration from natural causes. acts of God, the King's enemies, or otherwise howsoever. 2. Goods are not in the custody of the company until taken possession of by them as Warehousemen, wharfingers, or railway carriers, but when the company has sent the owner 1301.33—19—13 194 - ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. of goods notice that the goods are taken into stock by it, the company accepts the usual responsibility for their custody as warehousemen or wharfingers. 3. The Company’s police patrol the Manchester docks, and its police Superintendent Will, upon receipt of a requisition to do so, place a special watch upon goods lying in the transit sheds or on the quays, for which service a charge of 1s. 4d. per hour per man is made, with a minimum charge of 5s. for each man employed. The service of watching goods will, however, only be undertaken on the express understanding that the company will not be responsible for, and that no liability shall be attached to it in respect of, the Safe Custody of Such goods. PAYMENT OF THE CANAL COMPANY’S TOLLS, RATES, AND CHARGES ON IMPORTS. The canal company’s tolls and Wharfage rates, quay porterage rates, and other charges, if any, on animals, merchandise, and minerals imported or brought coastwise are payable to the company by the importer or Owner thereof. The person or firm in whose name the ship's delivery order is made out is held by the company to be the importer Or Owner. All charges due upon animals, merchandise, and minerals must be paid before their removal from the company’s premises. In cases where the Owners Or agents Of the importing Or Coasting vessel undertakes, for convenience of the importer or Owner, to pay the company’s tolls and wharfage rates, they must also pay any quay porterage rates Or Other charges that may be incurred. In order to prevent congestion at the Manchester (locks, which would be injurious to all concerned, all imported goods must be removed from the transit sheds and quays as soon as possible, and in any case within 72 hours after being landed in the transit sheds or on the quays from the vessels. If the goods are not removed from the transit sheds and quays within 72 hours after being landed, the owner will be charged a penalty rent, or, at the company's Option, the goods will be removed by the company to Warehouse or to store in the open, as may be necessary. As the company's Warehouse and Open storage accommodation at the docks for goods is limited, it may be necessary for the company to remove goods which have not been taken away by the owner within the above-mentioned period, and which the company is not in a position to warehouse or store in the dock area, to premises outside the dock area; and if this be done by the company it will be done at the cost and risk in all respects of the Owner of Such goods. The company is not bound to notify the owner when goods are due for removal from the transit sheds and quays, and failure on its part to do so will not debar it from taking the goods to warehouse or store if not removed by the owner, nor relieve the owner from liability for warehousing or storage charges and rent when thus incurred. QUAY PORTERAGE RATES. Section 146 of the canal company’s 1885 act provides that the company shall have the exclusive right to supply all the labor required for loading and discharging vessels and the handling of the merchandise within the canal or docks, and that the company may charge for such services an amount equal to the actual cost of labor and a proportionate cost of the wages of foremen and of office expenses and material and in addition a sum of 10 per cent on such amounts, and also a premium to cover liabilities for accidents and losses, which until further notice will be at the rate of 5 per cent, but, in order that fixed tonnage rates may be available, a schedule has been prepared. No quay porterage charge is incurred when goods are discharged from or to ship directly to or from railway wagon, road vehicle (see clause below re road vehicles), or barge alongside, and weighing, counting, sorting, checking, stowing, or unstowing in road vehicle, railway wagon, or barge, or other services are not required, except in the case Of dangerous goods discharged to ship canal wagons and hauled to a place of safety on the dock estate, in which case porterage is always chargeable. ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 195 The company does not guarantee to discharge goods directly ex-ship to railway wagon, barge, or road vehicle, but will endeavor to do so with a view to avoiding quay porterage. Goods are only discharged directly to road vehicles from ship or received from road vehicles into ship direct When the company considers the work of the ship will not thereby be delayed, and Subject to the persons in charge of the vehicles slinging or unslinging and stowing or unstowing the goods in their vehicles at their own risk, and on condition that if the company assists in doing such work liability from any accident arising there- from to workmen, horses, lorries, or other vehicles, or damage to the goods shall not under any circumstances attach to the company. - If in landing goods from or delivering to road vehicles or barges to or from the dock quays, transit sheds, or warehouses the company allows its servants voluntarily to assist in the slinging or unslinging and stowing or unstowing of goods in the road vehicles or barges in order to facilitate the work, liability for any accident arising therefrom to workmen, horses, lorries, or other vehicles, or barges, or damage to the goods shall not under any circumstances attach to the company. The company undertakes no responsibility in respect of the tallying or checking of goods discharged from or loaded into ships, or when cargo is loaded to ship canal railway wagons for haulage over the dock estate or to the Trafford Park estate. The company is not responsible for and no liability shall attach to it in consequence of delay in loading off or otherwise diealing with goods from or to the quay, transit sheds, Or VeSSelS. The quay porterage rate upon goods not of unusual length or bulk, or of exceptional bulk in proportion to weight, covers the undermentioned Services: - For articles not eaceeding 30 hundredweight per lift.—Receiving from ship, weighing on landing or delivery, at company’s option, such goods as are usually weighed “ (12% per cent rebate if weighing not performed), ordinary marking, Sorting to manifest marks, stowing on the quay, furnishing gross weight (on application), counting and delivery to but not stowage of the goods in road vehicle, railway wagon, or barge alongside, within 72 hours from the time of landing. All goods in bulk, including goods scheduled as in bulk Column of quay porteråge rates, are usually weighed over Cart or railway weighbridge On delivery (1 penny per ton rebate allowed from Scheduled rate if weighing not performed). (For rates, see schedule.) Detailed weights can be obtained on application at the rate of 1S. per hundredweight; minimum charge, 3d. per weight note. For delivery to barges (but not stowage therein), when not berthed alongside where the goods lie, an additional charge of 1s. 1d. per ton is made. Unpacked or insecurely protected machinery and iron castings are only handled at the ordinary quay porterage rates at owner's risk; if at canal company’s risk, 50 per cent extra will be charged. Unless the company he otherwise instructed, they will be handled and charged for at owner's risk. *> Extra charges will be made for opening and taring (when required by H. M. customs or consignees of goods), coopering or mending, sampling, collecting loose. classifying damage, lotting for sale, and labeling (when required by consignee of goods). OVERTIME. {}vertime is charged for as follows: On ordinary working days from 6 p. m. to 8 a. m., and on Saturdays from 12 noon to 10 p.m., 10d.

When men are requisitioned to work during their meal hours, the overtime rate will be charged for Such hours and any longer period the men may continue to WOrk without a break. Requisitions for overtime must be lodged before 3 p. m., Mondays to Fridays, and on Saturdays before 10 a. m. DANGEROUS GOODS. Explosives Of the Various kinds described in the “Special classification of explosives and Other dangerous goods by merchandise trains” embodied in the general railway classi- fication of goods for the time being in force (with the single exception of safety small-arm cartridges) are not allowed to pass over the canal, nor are any of the inflammable liquids or solid compounds giving off inflammable vapor at less than 73° F. set forth in the same special classification. TRANSSHIPMENT GooDs. TranSShipment goods are hauled in railway wagons (Or barged at canal company’s option) on the COnditions Stated in the Canal Company’s printed haulage requisition form from alongside ship to Other vessel in any port of the docks. WAREHOUSING CHARGES. The company has provided limited warehouse and Open storage accommodations at the docks and will receive goods for store when it is in a position to do so, rates for which can be obtained on application at the dock office or dock traffic office, Trafford Road, Salford. The company, whilst acting as warehouseman or wharfinger. will not be responsible for the consequences of leakage, loss of weight or measure, or from deterioration from natural causes, or for the consequences of fire, strikes, combinations of workmen, the acts of God, or the King's enemies. Warrants, if required. are issued by the Company in respect of goods stored upon its premises. * APPENDIX 17. VISIT OF EMPIRE PRESS PROPRIETORS TO THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1918. The construction of the deep waterway from the sea 35 miles long has given Manchester world-wide reputation. It has also made Manchester one of the first ports of the King- dom. The Work is unique in character and deserves all the praise bestowed upon it by distinguished visitors from all parts of the globe. No port has provided better lock accom- modation and appliances. Few ports have such complete and modern equipment. No port has a better reputation among shipowners and traders for dispatch and efficiency work in every department. The magnificent accommodation offering at the Manchester docks for all descriptions of traffic and the most modern methods adopted for the rapid discharge and 10ading of Steamers and the distribution of cargoes of every description can only be thoroughly realized by a personal inspection of the docks. Figures as to the tonnage Of present imports and exports can not be cited, but it may be stated that in the year 1913 over 5,500,000 tons of traffic passed over the canal in ocean-going steamers. The accommodation has since been extended, including a new grain elevator with a capacity for 40,000 tons Of grain, additional dock and Shed accommodation, railway sidings, Cranes, and other facilities. Manchester is undoubtedly a port of the utmost value to the country, and in the national Crisis through which we are now passing its advantages can not be overestimated. The attached statement gives general information in respect to the fol- lowing subjects as they apply to the port of Manchester: Development of the port; economy in cost Of transit Of imports and exports as between factory and ship ; new works On the Canal side and Sites Offering for additional works; tonnage of imports and exports; dis- tributing area ; reference to principal trades, including cotton, grain, timber, oil, fruit, wood pulp, sugar, tea ; steamship Services; navigation of the Canal by large steamers: dock equipment: frozen and chilled meat and perishable goods: animals' landing place; coal tips. THE PORT OF MAN CHESTER. The opening of the port of Manchester on January 1, 1894, was an event of striking importance to the trade in and around Manchester because it marked the (lawn of emancipation from the excessive freight charges that had threatened to stifle local com- mercial and industrial undertakings. So great has been the change brought about by direct communication Overseas that it is somewhat difficult now to realize the conditions Of transportation when Manchester was but a point in the interior. It is not necessary to dwell at length upon the state of trade prior to the inception of the waterway, but SOme notion of the conditions then existent may be gathered from the fact that (luring the period immediately preceding the completion of the canal the reduction in the assess- ments of one township in the district alone was declared to have been at the rate of £900 a year. Hardly less important evidence of the state of depression was given before the House of Lords by a promoter of the ship canal bill of 1884. He stated that various in- dustrial concerns, engineering establishments, and mills in the Ancoats district alone that had closed or ceased working during the previous 10 years had employed about 12.650 hands, who had been forced to migrate, leaving streets of empty houses and tenements. Moreover, that in 1881 the number of unoccupied houses in Manchester and Salford was greater than the entire number of inhabited houses in the borough of Stockport. With the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal for traffic, prosperity was speedily re- Stored. By the introduction of an element of competition the port of Manchester almost immediately revolutionized transit charges, forcing competitive routes to reduce their rates to meet the economy it offered. As a striking illustration of the value of the port to the trade of the district, the case of the staple industry of Lancashire may be cited. Those who are able to speak authorita- 197 198 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. tively on the subject avow that the saving to the trade in removing raw cotton from the ships and forwarding Imanufactured articles to the ships is equivalent to a gain of at least half a million sterling (pounds) a year. On the cost of shipments of cotton yarns to continental towns a reduction of 10s. a ton was effected in prewar times in comparison with the rate charges prior to the COnstruction of the waterway. Some of the Liverpool dock rates have also been considerably lowered in competition with the ship canal. During the progress of the first ship canal bill in Parliament the dock dues on cotton at Liverpool were reduced from 3/6 to 3/– a ton. So soon as the port of Manchester began to import cotton direct the rate was further reduced to 2/– per ton. Then, as Soon as Manchester began to import grain, the dock dues on heavy grain (wheat and maize) were reduced from 1/4 to 1/– per ton at Liverpool and 6d. per ton at Birken- head. Of course, the rates and charges at all British ports have been increased during the past three and one-half years Owing to increased expenditure, but Manchester still shows to advantage as compared with competitive ports. * Sites for works,—The benefit which arises out of the available land for the erection of works alongside Or in ClOSe proximity to the Waterway is deserving Of Special attention. By this means the cost of forwarding goods between the ship and the interior is reduced, while the barrier of distance dividing producer and consumer is considerably lessened. Adjoining the Manchester docks on the south side is the Trafford Park estate of 1,183 acres, having a frontage of about 3 miles On the ship Canal and 3% miles on the Bridge- water Canal. Upon this estate over 100 firms have already secured premises for com- mercial and manufacturing purposes of a varied character. Some of these undertakings are on a gigantic scade. There is also excellent storage accommodation available on this estate for upward of 400,000 tons of traffic. e There are important new developments pending which will swell the traffic and revenue of the port of Manchester in the future. In the meantime it may be mentioned that in addition to the industrial concerns established on the Trafford Park estate sites have been taken up on land adjoining the Manchester Ship Canal between Manchester and Eastham, and industrial works of all descriptions are now in active operation. At the Manchester docks, in close proximity to the grain elevators, large flour mills have been established, including the Cooperative Wholesale Society’s flour mill, which is one of the largest in the country. This mill is on the waterside and possesses its own elevators, alongside which vessels can berth and discharge the grain into the silos. - Other works on the Canal side with deep-water and rail connection comprise oil cake mills, tar-distillation works, soap works, margarine factory, lard factory, patent fuel depots, chemical works, Salt union brine Works, etc. Imports and easports.-The following table, which gives the total tonnage in traffic in various years from the opening of the ship canal to the end of 1913, will serve to show that the value of the port as a focus for the export trade of the district and as a COn- suming and distributing center for the largest industrial center in the world is becoming increasingly evident : - Tons of traffic. 1894 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * --- 925, 659 1899 2,778, 108 1904 3,917, 578 1909–-------------------------- -- —— 4, 563, 401 1913-...-- sº-sº sº sº- ____ 5, 780, 161 The Board of Trade returns of the imports and exports of merchandise to the principal ports of the United Kingdom show that in the value of merchandise handled Manchester takes the fourth place among the ports of the country. I)istributing area.—Manchester is situated in the most densely populated area in the United Kingdom, and as a port is the source of supply for at least 177 interior towns. The district in which these towns are situated, and nearer to Manchester than any other Open steamship port, is 10,000 square miles in extent, and contains a population of over 9,000,000 ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. 199 people, while the area to and from which the canal traffic can be carted contains a popula- tion of over 2,000,000. This enormous population with the numerous industries contained in the territory demands large quantities of raw materials for manufacture, foodstuffs, and other commodities which can be more easily and economically obtained through the port of Manchester because of its close proximity. Manchester, therefore, by reason of its geographical position and the excellent facilities for handling inland traffic by road, rail, or inland canals, has become a distributing center of first importance. Similarly, Manchester is the natural Collecting center for this wide district, and draws large quan- tities of export traffic not only from Manchester and the immediate neighborhood but also throughout Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the Midlands. The principal imports into Manchester are cotton, grain, timber, tea, sugar, oil, pro- visions, fruit, Ores, nitrates, etc. 4 Cottom.—Steamers are regularly berthed at the principal North American ports, includ- ing Gulf ports, and considerable shipments of cotton are made direct to Manchester for distribution to the Lancashire mills. Many instances could be quoted as to the saving to be derived by direct importation of Cotton to Manchester, but, roughly, it may be said that the saving averages 4/- to 5/- per ton, as compared with shipments made to the neighbor- ing port of ILiverpool and forwarded to the same destinations. Grain.—Ample accommodation is provided for storing grain at the Manchester docks. There are two elevators, each with a storage capacity of 40,000 tons, or 1,500,000 bushels. The appliances for the reception and delivery of grain are of the most complete character. Arrangements have been made in connection with the latest elevator (No. 2) by means of which Steamers arriving with miscellaneous cargoes and large consignments of grain from North American ports can be berthed alongside the transit sheds, and while discharging general Cargo into the transit sheds grain can be delivered overside by means of portable elevators Onto bands running in a subway along the quayside to the elevator, thus insuring quick dispatch to the vessels and general economy in the handling of grain. Timber.—-Concurrently with the growth of the importation of grain to Manchester has been the growth of timber imports. The large space abutting on No. 9 dock available for Storing timber, as Well as Other Storage accommodation On the banks of the canal, has doubtless helped to give Manchester its prominent position as a timber port. Oil.—Manchester occupies the second place in the United Kingdom as a port for the importation of oil of all descriptions, both in bulk and in barrels. The oil installations are situated on the banks of the ship canal below Mode Wheel Locks, and here tank Steamers discharge Oil in bulk. The oil-tankage installations comprise 59 tanks owned by the principal oil companies, having a total capacity of 138,296 tons, equivalent to 37,594,106 gallons. Oil is conveyed to the respective depots through pipes direct from vessels to tanks, from whence the oil is reloaded to tank railway wagons, tank vessels for coastwise delivery, tank barges for conveyance over inland canals, and in road vehicles for local distribution. Provisions.—Huge quantities of provisions of all descriptions arrive at Manchester from Canadian and North American ports, Australia, River Plate, etc. Sugar.—Considerable quantities of both raw and refined sugar are imported direct to Manchester. The sugar is usually placed into store and distributed throughout the coun- try both by rail and inland waterways, as may be required. Tea.—There is bonded accommodation at the Manchester docks and in the vicinity for upward of 150,000 packages of tea, and large shipments are regularly arriving from the Far East. Frozen and chilled meat and perishable goods.--Extensive accommodation is available, including a refrigerated sorting chamber at the Manchester docks with a capacity, including extensions now in progress, of 300,000 cubic feet. In addition, the Union Cold Storage Co. have eold stores at the docks with accommodation for 175,000 carcasses of mutton, and in the city they own another cold-air stores, with a capacity of 80,000 carcasses. The Manchester corporation cold-air stores can accommodate 120,000 carcasses of mutton, 200. ENGLISEI PORT FACILITIES. Animals landing place.—This is 12 acres in extent. The plant is of the most modern type and provides accommodation for 1,850 cattle and 1,500 sheep. Fruit.—Although Manchester has for a considerable number of years been the second fruit market in the United Kingdom, prior to the opening of the ship canal there was no green-fruit market in Manchester, merchants being forced to obtain Supplies from Liver- pool. A subsequent effort to establish a green-fruit market was highly successful. Numer- ous steamers are now regularly employed in bringing fruit from the Mediterranean. In addition, large supplies of apples and pears arrive in normal. times from the North American Continent by the regular lines of steamers. American and Canadian Shippers realize the advantages of shipping apples to Manchester consequent upon the Very Satis- factory prices obtained there as compared with Other markets. Wood pulp.–The growth of the WOOd-pulp industry is an astonishing one, each suc- cessive year having shown some further enlargement of the trade, concurrently with which the imports to Manchester have grown. Steamship services.—Regular lines of steamers sailing from the Manchester docks give exporters frequent opportunities of Shipping direct to the principal foreign and Coastwise ports. Stearner services are in operation between Manchester and the following ports: North American, Mexican Gulf, Brazils, Australian, New Zealand, Bombay, Persian Gulf, Alexandria, Syrian coast, Spanish, continental, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, coast- wise, etc. Other services operating in normal times are suspended. Navigation of the canal.—As indicating the type of vessel navigating the Manchester Ship Canal, it may be mentioned that the Federal-Houlder-Shire Lines' steamers Northum- berland, Sluropshire, and Wiltshire regularly load at Manchester for Australian and New Zealand ports. These steamers are 547 feet over all, with a beam of 63 feet and a gross carrying capacity of 12,500 tons. Steamers of a similar capacity are employed in other trades. - The ship canal being practically a dock 35 miles long from the entrance at East- ham to the Manchester docks, the capacity for increasing the berthing accommodation on the two sides of the canal is very great. The height of the fixed bridges from normal water level is 74 feet 6 inches, and the “anal is excavated to a depth of 28 feet. At the entrance to the canal at Eastham there are electrically driven sheer legs capable of lifting 15 tons to a height of 105 feet above water level. If necessary, these sheer legs could lift the topmasts off and replace same if the steamer is fitted with movable topmasts. Equipment of the Manchester docks.-The equipment includes 53 hydraulic, 64 steam, and 130 electric cralles with a radius of from 16 to 40 feet, capable of lifting from 1 to 7 tons to a lueight from rail level of from 13 to 80 feet; a 30-ton steam crane, 52 locomo- tives, 3,000 railway Wagons, six floating pontoons of a dead-weight capacity of 800 tons each, and all modern appliances for giving vessels quick dispatch. - There is also a pontoon sheers capable of dealing with weights up to 250 tons with a lift Of 21 feet. * There is a range of 12 single-floor, one two-floor, six three-floor, five four-floor. and 14 five-floor transit sheds, fitted with the most modern appliances, including a cold chamber for the Sorting of frozen meat and Other perishable produce; also 13 warehouses, seven stories each, fitted with 27 friction hoists worked by gas engine; and in Trafford Park the ship canal company have four single-floor warehouses, each 300 by 100 feet, and one Single-floor Warehouse 150 by 140 feet. The docks, quays, sheds, and warehouses are lighted by electricity, and there are 30 hydraulic and 34 electric capstans on the quays. Honded accommodation is also provided. The Manchester docks railways are 85 miles in extent and completely intersect the tlock estate. The total length of railways already completed at the docks and at many points alongside the ship canal is upward of 140 miles. The following railways connect with the docks: London & North Western, Lancashire & Yorkshire, Great Northern, Midland. Great Central, and Cheshire Iines committee. By means of these railways there is direct communication with the entire railway system of the country. APPENDIX 18.

The increase of the port has proceeded with remarkable steadiness. (See table under caption “Progress of trade and revenue from 1858 to 1917,” on page 255. The water area of the harbor and docks, which in 1873 amounted to 76 acres, has now reached 535 acres, an increase of 459 acres. . With regard to finance during the period under review (1873 to 1914), the debt oſ the trust has grown from £2,350,256 in 1873 to £7,196,575 in 1914, an increase of £4,846,319. The borrowing powers have been extended from £3,700,000 in 1873 to £9,700,000 in 1914, an increase of £6,000,000, and the capital expenditure has expanded from £2,875,267 in 1873 to £9,789,191 in 1914, an increase of £6,913,924. This sum of £6,913,924 is the amount which has been expended on new works and improvements during the period under review, and toward this figure more than £2,500,000 has been provided out of the savings of reWenlle. COAL BIOISTS. One of the hoistS has a lift of 50 feet above the cope, and the other three have a lift of 60 feet. Each is capable of dealing with 800 tons of coal per hour, if 20-ton coal wagons are used. The general procedure corresponds with that in the case of hydraulic hoists. The wagon approaches the hoists by gravity on the low level, and after having been weighed is run over a turntable onto the hoist cradle, which is raised to the height required to suit the hatchway of the ship. After the cradle is tipped it is lowered to the level of a bridge about 16 feet above quay level. The wagon is then ejected from the cradle and passes Over the bridge by gravity, to be again weighed to determine the tare, after which it continues by gravity to join the level of the railway sidings. Each turn- table is 18 feet in diameter, and when in operation it is tilted so as to cause the wagon standing on it to run into the hoist cradle. 201 APPENDIX 19. AUGUST 23, 1918.

The extensive docks at Grimsby are owned by the Great Central Railway Co., whose enterprise has made it the seventh port of the United Kingdom for all classes of merchan- dise and mineral and the premier fishing port of the world, and the value of its imports and exports in 1912 amounted to over £35,000,000. The first attempt to improve the natural harbor was in 1801. In 1846 the Royal dock was commenced, and completed in 1852. In 1872 the Alexandra and Union docks were added and the old dock deepened, and all were completed in 1879. For the coal trade four coal drops and three hydraulic coal hoists have been erected. On the quays and in the sheds are 55 fixed and portable hydraulic, electric, steam, and hand cranes, and hoists having a lifting capacity varying from 5 hundredweight to 60 tons, thus providing facilities for rapidly loading and discharging goods unsurpassed by any Other port. The company's wharves are 19,700 feet in length. The transit shed on the east side of the Royal dock is 1,500 feet long by 48 to 67 feet wide, and that on the west side (one of the largest in the Kingdom) 900 feet by 178 feet, giving a total covered area alongside the Quays of 583,000 Square feet. There are also many bonded stores, storage warehouses, and granary, Sufficient to meet all requirements. The docks are provided with a special high-pressure hydraulic system. Part of this power is obtained from the handsome hydraulic tower, 306 feet high, the landmark of the Humber. The tower can be ascended by a lift, and on a clear day a magnificent view is Obtained. The first steamship was dispatched from Grimsby docks with a cargo to Hamburg in 1852. In 1865 the Great Central Railway Co. bought the existing companies' steamers and started to trade with Hamburg. Parliamentary powers to run steamers to Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Flushing, Lubeck, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Revel, Cronstadt, Petrograd, Konisberg, Ghent, Amster- dam, Bremerhaven, Stettin, Danzig, Riga, Gefle, Malmo, Gothenburg, Frederikstad, Chris- tiana, Drammen, Holmstrand, Arendal, Christiansand, Stavanger, Bergen, Drontheim, Esbjerg, and Frederikshavn have since been obtained. In 1866 and 1867 trade was opened up with Rotterdam and Antwerp, respectively. Prior to the war a royal mail daily service was maintained to and from Hamburg, and three sailings weekly in each direction with both Rotterdam and Antwerp. The magnificence of the steamers is well known, especially so in the Hamburg trade, which was Served by a fleet of new vessels. In 1889, Messrs T. Wilson, Sons & Co. (Ltd.), began to run a weekly line of passenger and cargo steamers between Grimsby and Copenhagen and MalmO, but now they have regular frequent sailings to Christiana, Christiansand, Gothenburg, Malmo, Halmstad, Helsingborg, Landskrona, Drammen, Skein, Riga, and Danzig. In 1890 the United Steamship Co. of Copenhagen commenced running a weekly service from Grimsby to Esbjerg, which is now increased to twice weekly. 347 348 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. for its Norwegian cruises. Messrs. Worms & Co. run a service from Grimsby to Dieppe three times a week in each direction.

The Immingham dock is the deepest on the Humber, is right alongside the Humber's deep-water main channel, and is nearer the sea than any other competitive Humber port. The Immingham dock enables the world’s largest ships to steam full speed from Open sea to dock entrance, and to enter dock any hour, night or day, at any state of the tide. The Immingham dock possesses unsurpassed facilities for the export of coal. The Immingham dock has a pier in the Humber where the largest steamers can bunker without entering the dock. The Immingham dock, by its geographical position, insures full general cargo out and home. Its feeding area has a population of 16,000,000. The Immingham dock has elaborate arrangements for dealing with iron ore, wood pulp, grain, Wool, Sugar, pit props, etc. The Immingham dock has a magnificent graving dock and ship, engine, and boiler re- pairing accommodation ; workshops and foundry adjoining. ENGLISHI PORT FACILITIES. 351 GBIMSBY-IMMINGHAM (PAST AND PRESENT). The first Sod of the Immingham dock was cut by Lady Faringdon, wife of LOrd Faringdon, chairman of the Great Central Railway Co., on 12th of July, 1906, and on the 22d of July, 1912, the dock was officially opened by Their Majesties the King and Queen. The Specialty of the dock is the facilities for shipping coal, it being the geographical port for the South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Nottinghamshire coal. - The length of the dock property is 2% miles, with a river frontage of 13 miles; the dock itself has a Water area of 45 acres, with a depth varying from 30 to 35 feet, and, in addition, a timber pond of 6 acres. The Very latest facilities have been provided for the shipment of coal. Seven hoists Of the most approved pattern have been constructed on the southern quay, two of which are arranged to Work into any two holds of a vessel simultaneously if required. On the Western pier another hoist has been fixed for" the shipment of bunker and cargo coal, This appliance has been much appreciated by merchants, whose vessels can go alongside, load up, and leave again Without having to enter the dock at all, thus giving a maximum Quickness of dispatch and a minimum of delay. Each hoist is capable of Shipping at the rate of 700 tons per hour. The storage sidings are the largest in Europe, and provide for over 170,000 tons of coal and the empties sidings for about 5,500 empty COal Wagons. Each coal hoist is provided with eight running roads, to hold 3,000 tons of coal, worked on the gravity principle, So that a steamer may come alongside any hoist and take on her cargo of mixed coal, no locomotive being necessary, and independent of any other working On the dock WhatsOever. Rapid Coaling Of numerous Vessels has been a feature since the opening Of the dock. The steamship Riding loaded a full cargo of 1,722 tons of coal in 2 hours 55 minutes, or 590 tons per hour. * The steamship Zuid-Holland loaded a cargo of 2,800 tons in seven and one-half hours. During 1913 over 2,250,000 tons of coal were shipped. A huge grain elevator (capacity, 15,000 tons) with the latest improvements, a mineral quay, timber pond, goods, transit Sheds, WOOl Warehouses, plentiful supply of cranes (capacity, 30 hundredweight to 50 tons), and bonded and other stores have been erected to Successfully carry On these trades. There is a timber quay for dealing with deals, battens, boards, mining timber, pit props, etc., with sorting ground and timber yards adjacent. The steamship Porjus discharged a cargo of 4,427 tons iron ore in 43 working hours. A special wool warehouse has been erected with a capacity for 40,000 bales of wool. The steamship Arimo discharged 5,257 bales in eight hours—a Humber record. i *.. t • ** IMMINGHAM DOCK FIGURES. Area of dock property - 1, 000 acres. Length of dock property 2% miles.

The port is served directly by the Great Western and Midland Railway CoS., and through them is connected with the entire railway System of Great Britain. Prompt trans- port is in all directions; therefore, insured; and the necessity of cartage being obviated, the handling is reduced to a minimum, with a consequent reduction of cost and less risk Of damage, delay, Or deterioration. WATERWAYS. In addition to the railways, the inland waterways provide effective transport for goods to and from the Midlands, and the Canal carrying companies convey either large or small parcels between the canal wharves and works in the manufacturing districts by motor vans. There is also convenient river and canal navigation to Bath, Devizes, Read- ing, and beyond. CATTLE TRADE. Accommodation has been provided both at the city docks and Avonmouth docks for dealing with live stock. Lairage, slaughterhouses, chill rooms, and all other necessary appliances are of the most modern and extensive character. TOBACCO WAREHOUSES. Two capacious tobacco warehouses have been constructed at the city docks. These have since completion been occupied to their fullest capacity. The rapid growth of this traffic has rendered further. accommodation necessary, and arrangements have now been made for constructing two additional Warehouses. COLD STORES. "The corporation cold stores are situated at Avonmouth, and the chambers include provision for upward of 100,000 carcasses of meat. These buildings are on the quay side, and the produce is delivered direct from steamer's refrigerators into the sorting chambers of the cold stores, and thence to insulated railway vans, with practically no exposure. 358 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. The refrigerating machinery was constructed by the Linde British Refrigerating Co., and is an ammonia-compression plant. The whole of the stores have been approved by Lloyd's. - BUNIKERING ARRANGEMENTS. Steamers are bunkered within the port, the proximity of the South Wales and other coal fields enabling coal to be obtained at low cost. Fleets of colliers are continually en- gaged, and bunkering takes place without delay to steamers. - Docks committee (1913) of the corporation of the city of Bristol.—The Right Honorable the Lord Mayor (Alderman C.

THE PORT of CARD1FF. [Excerpts from official handbook published by the Cardiff Railway Co. entitled “Cardiff as a Shipping Port.” ) Cardiff, the largest and most important city in Wales, is the first port in the world for the Shipment of coal. The population of Cardiff is about 250,000 and is rapidly increas- ing. The commercial history of the town dates from the opening of the first dock in 1839 by the Marquis of Bute, at a cost of £380,000. Work was commenced in 1830, and although many difficulties had to be overcome, its enterprising promotor, confident thai. the new undertaking Would be the foundation of a great import and export trade, over- came many trials, and on October 9, 1839, the Bute west dock was formally opened for traffic. The completion of this work provided the port with a dock 18 acres in extent, and with the linking up by railways Of the (locks with the Coal field iS was SOOn Seen that this accommodation would be altogether inadequate to deal with the growing needs of the port. From that time on the history of the port forms an ever-recurring chapter of development and expansion. - When it is realized that over 13,000,000 tons of traffic are dealt with every year at the Bute docks, it will be seen that immense docks and dock appliances Of the most perfect type are necessary for dealing with its rapid handling, and in the following pages Some particulars are offered for the readers' consideration of the facilities which have been provided for dealing with this immense tonnage. THE BUTE west DoCK AND BASIN (19% ACREs). The Bute west dock, the oldest wet dock in Cardiff, is entered from the open channel through a basin 13 acres in extent. The dock is equipped with 12 Coal lloists. There are four hydraulic cranes for the discharging of timber, ballast, etc. The dock is 4,000 feet long, 200 feet wide, with a quayage of 8,800 feet in length. Part of the water for this dock is supplied by means of powerful pumps on the banks of the River Taff. These are capable of throwing 12,000,000 gallons of water in three hours, and when it is realized that it requires over 30,000,000 gallons to cover the whole dock area to a depth of 1 foot, it will be appreciated that care has to be taken to avoid waste. The reason for this expensive method of aiding the water Supply is that the Bristol Chan- nel water holds an exceptionally large deposit of mud in Suspension, Which results in heavy deposits. Some idea of the amount of these deposits will be obtained when it is stated that the average “spoil" recovered by dredging is nearly 30,000 tons a week. BUTE EAST DoCK AND BASIN (46% ACRES). The rapid increase which was taking place in the trade of the port soon rendered the accommodation afforded by the west dock insufficient to meet the necessities of the port, and in 1855 and 1859 the promoters were empowered to construct a new dock. This dock, which is situated east of the west dock, is considerably larger than the latter, and in its reconstructed form has a deep-water area of 44 acres, with a basin of 24 acres, and a sea 363 364 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. lock from the entrance channel 220 feet long and 55 feet wide, with a depth of water Ola the sill of the sea lock at spring tides of 31 feet 9 inches, compared with 28 feet 9 inches for the west dock. It is 4,300 feet long and varying in width from 300 to 500 feet. This dock was completed and opened up for traffic in 1859. There are 17 staiths here for the shipment of coal, and 19 hydraulic cranes with lifts varying from 2 to 20 tons. There are also three large Warehouses for accommodating the general import trade, While leading from the dock are three graving docks—400 feet, 408 feet, and 420 feet long. In order to feed this dock the Rhymney Railway was made, the building of which involved a vast amount Of labor, extending, as it does, right into the heart ºf the Welsh Coal field, thus providing a quick and ready access from the Collieries to the locks. ROATH BASIN (45 ACRES). Before another decade has elapsed the yearly export of coal from Cardiff liad risen to upward of 2,000,000 tons, as compared with 43,651 in 1840, and the trustees of the Marquis of Bute decided once more to respond to the demand for greater accommodation. Parlia- mentary powers were obtained, and in 1874 a further 12 acres of water space were added to the existing docks by the completion of the Roath Basin. The basin is equipped with mine coal staiths and One hydraulic crane. Provision was also made for two dry docks, particulars of which will be found elsewhere in this handbook. Although constructed 44 years ago, its characteristics are quite modern. It is 1,000 feet long by 550 feet wide, and a quayage space of 2,700 feet. Access is gained to it by a lock 350 feet long and 80 feet wide, and it is connected with the Bute east dock by a junction lock, the effective width of which is about 60 feet. The depth of water on the Outer sill of the lock ordinary spring tides is 35 feet 9 inches, and 25 feet 9 inches ordinary neap tides. Twelve months after the Opening of this basin the number of vessels which entered the Bute docks was 6,910, with a net register of 1,870,718, while the total imports, which included iron, timber, pit wood, grain and flour, and general merchandise exceeded 600,000 tons. The total ex- ports, made up of coal, coke, patent fuel, iron, etc., amounted to 2,938,670, the total trade of the port, therefore, being just over 3,500,000 tons, of which coal accounted for no less than 2,583,665 tons. ROATH DOCK. Only 13 years after the Roath Basin had been opened it was found necessary to in- crease the accommodation, and in 1887 the Roath dock was provided. The Roath dock is really a continuation of the Roath Basin and is connected to the latter by a lock. To meet the growing size and draft of vessels, the locks giving access to the docks and the depth of water provided within the dock itself had shown a steady increase. Thus the inner lock is 600 feet long and 80 feet wide and the depth of water in the dock ranges from 32 to 37 feet. This dock is of spacious dimensions, with a deep-water area of 33 acres and giving 7,520 feet of quayage. The equipment of the Roath dock was also supe- rior to that installed in the older docks. In order to obtain the maximum amount of quay space, the dock walls are entirely constructed of masonry, thus enabling the company to install a larger number of shipping appliances than would otherwise be possible. A very large part of the import traffic is dealt with at this dock, and there are 37 hydraulic cranes enabling the work to be expeditiously dealt with. On the South side of the dock are 11 Lewis-Hunter coaling cranes, which have a reputation second to none for tipping coal, and three staiths. The method of working the cranes is very simple; the coal instead of being shot down a chute is tipped into a box capable of taking the contents of a 12-ton wagon, which is lifted and lowered into the hold of the vessel. The box opens out at the bottom and the coal slides away Over an iron cone. By this method breakage is reduced to a minimum, and the work can proceed without interruption at the rate of 300 tons per hour. Adjoining the Roath dock are the cattle lairs with accommodation for 500 head of fat 'cattle, and also pens for 1,000 sheep and pigs. Cattle are discharged onto the quay side ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 365 and driven straight to the cattle lairs, to which slaughter rooms and chill rooms are attached. Toward the north end of the dock are the “cold stores,” which are built upon a jetty, and vessels discharge on either side without being interfered with in any way by other traffic. Part of the building at the end of the jetty is exclusively reserved for the storage of perishable cargoes. The stores are fitted with all the necessary appliances for giving dispatch to the discharging and storing of cargoes. Hydraulic lifts are provided to receive the deliveries from the cranes and distribute them to the various floors of the stores. The storage capacity is 125,000 cubic feet. The charge for storage is reduced to the lowest possible minimum, full particulars of which can be had on application to the COmpany. The Bute docks are the only docks in South Wales which have permission from the Board of Trade to land foreign cattle. QUEEN ALEXANDRA DOCK (5.2 ACRES). The trade of the port had increased to such an extent that it became necessary to provide further extensions, to meet which the Queen Alexandra dock was constructed. In planning this dock every forethought and provision were made to allow for the enor- mous changes in marine traffic that had taken place during the preceding 10 years. This dock was opened by the late King Edward on July 13, 1907, the day being kept as a general holiday throughout the town. The opening ceremony was witnessed by close on to 100,000 spectators, and it was universally recognized that another great stride had been made which would place Cardiff in the front ranks of the great seaports of the world. The dock, which is nearly half a mile long, has a water area of 52 acres and is con- nected by an intercommunication passage with the Roath dock, thus making practically one walled dock, of 85 acres. This, it is interesting to note, is the largest walled dock in the world. The dock has a breadth of 800 to 1,000 feet and a uniform depth of 50 feet from the top of the Coping. It is the nearest dock to the Open channel, and is entered direct from the Sea. The Sea lock is 850 feet in length, and 90 feet in breadth, with a depth of water over the sill of 42 feet, ordinary spring tides, and 32 feet, ordinary meap tides. It has an excellent approach, is well sheltered, and in close proximity to the Penarth Roads, which is the safest anchorage in the Bristol Channel. The whole of the north side of this dock is reserved for the import trade, and is equipped with the most up-to-date plant for the rapid and efficient handling of this traffic. There are 10 hydraulic and 6 electric cranes, with a lift ranging from 13 to 2 tons, all movable. Five large transport sheds are erected, giving a floor space of 40,000 square yards, and ample provision has been made for stacking deals, pit wood, etc., adjacent to the quayS. The cold stores at the Queen Alexandra dock, with a frontage on the quay side of 300 feet, have a capacity of 300,000 cubic feet. The largest vessel can be berthed alongside and meat discharged direct into the stores. The meat is loaded direct from the stores into refrigerating vans, and there is competitive railway communication to all parts of the United Kingdom.s These cold stores are of the latest design and are equipped with all modern appliances for rapid discharge and handling. The south side of the dock is equipped with the most improved coal-shipping appliances, including eight Lewis-Hunter cranes, as well as six movable hoists, ranging up to 65 feet in height from the quay level and so arranged that three or even four can ship into different hatchways at One time. It is provided with extensive siding accommodation, and there is ample space for banking purposes. - 366 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. COAL SHIPPING AT CARDIFF DOCKS. Having already mentioned that Cardiff is the first port in the world for the shipment of coal, it naturally follows that appliances of the most modern type are essential for its rapid handling. There are in all 66 coal staiths and patent coaling cranes in use on the Cardiff docks, comprising 35 fixed and 12 movable hoists and 19 Lewis-Hunter patent coaling cranes. Attention is drawn to the Lewis-Hunter coaling cranes, of which this company have the sole and exclusive use in the Bristol Channel, and these have proved to be by far the most satisfactory appliances for shipping Welsh coal with dispatch and the least possible breakage. Colliery-screened coal shipped by these cranes is considered equal to double-screened coal as shipped by Ordinary staiths, thereby insuring to the purchaser an increased value of at least 1 shilling per ton over that of coal put on board by the ordinary appliances as generally used. The Saving of breakage and the uniform distribution of the cargo throughout of any small advantage that might be made in coal shipped by the Lewis-Humter process has proved of enormous advantage to shippers as com- pared with the condition of coal shipped by the ordinary Staiths, and which is especially important in preventing the risk of Spontaneous ignition from Small coal in cargoes going long voyages. Another advantage is that three or more cranes can be worked simul- taneously with comparative ease as Compared with the Ordinary staiths. It frequently happens also that one crane can serve two hatchways by tipping into each hold alternately, thereby avoiding any cessation of the work of trimming, and thus effecting a considerable Saving of time when a vessel is nearing completion of her cargo. Shippers attach so much importance to these cranes that they frequently elect to wait for a crane berth rather than have their Coal shipped by the usual Staiths. Many trunk and turret steamers load full cargos of coal by these Cranes Without any manual aid in trimming. As much as 6,715 tons of Coal have been shipped into one vessel in 11 working hours, and the follow- ing are a few examples of dispatch given by these cranes : r Steamship Samoa, loaded 9,234 tons in 28 working hours, or an average of 347 tons per hour. - Steamship Iran, loaded 9,213 tons in 26% working hours, or an average of 347 tons per hour. * Steamship Islam, loaded 7,506 tons in 20 working hours, or an average of 366 tons per hour. Steamship Scarsdale, loaded 3,624 tons in nine working hours, or an average of 392 tons per hour. . Steamship Lady Lentis, loaded 4,773 tons in 10 working hours, or an average of 477 tons per hour. * Steamship A Skehall, loaded 6,715 tons in 11 working hours, or an average of 610 tons per hour. Perhaps it is hardly necessary to add that the highest vessel afloat can be loaded and bunkered without any trouble. There is no extra charge for retaring. CARDIFF COAI. Cardiff is the natural geographical port of shipment for the South Wales coal fields, and the fact that she is to-day the first port in the world for the export of coal is very largely due to the favorable spot she occupies. The docks are in direct rail communica- tion with the pits, and coal is often in process of being shipped within a few hours of its winning in the mines. Cardiff coal is known the world over, and is undoubtedly far and away the best for locomotive, marine, and general manufacturing purposes. During the present war the South Wales coal field has proved of inestimable value to the allied navies, and a very large proportion of whose warships are bunkered with what is com- monly known as Cardiff coal. No less than 10,000,000 tons of this obviously valuable coal were exported from the Bute docks in 1913, and these figures continue to grow each year. ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 367 GENERAL EXPORTS. Cardiff is the natural port of shipment for the South Wales coal field, and in dealing With general exports, coal takes first place. At the same time, Cardiff has of recent years come to be more generally recognized as the port of export for the Midlands. Taking Cardiff as the center of a 60-mile radius would show a population of over 3,000,000, and the following comparative table of the general export trade at the periods specified will show at Once that Cardiff is in the front rank of the chief export towns of the United Kingdom, While in normal times no less than 50 lines of general-cargo steamers run regularly from the Bute docks to all parts of the world : 1908------------------------------------------------------ 9, 893, 918 1910------------------------------------------------------ 10, 327, 765 1912 -------------------------, * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *-* ~ * * * * * * * * * * *** *-s sº- *** *-* * 10, 405, 579 1914--------------------------------------------------- --- 11, 173, 0.25 The railway rates for the carriage of coal from the pits' mouth to the docks are less than to those of most other ports. Tipping is continued night and day without interruption, there being no extra charge for night work. GENERAL IMPORTS. There is all extensive trade in iron ore, steel bars, blooms, billets, pit wood, timber, grain, etc., at the four docks, and it is hoped to still further develop this trade in the near future. The import trade into Cardiff has a stimulus from the fact that steamers bringing cargo to Cardiff can be certain of an outward cargo, thus saving the cost of seeking a cargo elsewhere and thereby having to pay double dock dues. The tonnage trading to Cardiff in 1913 was 6,167,933 and the number of vessels 8,980. At least 50 per cent of the tonnage coming into the Bute docks consists of vessels having a carrying capacity of 3,000 tons and upward, while vessels of 12,000 frequently visit the docks. During recent years there has been a substantial increase in grain, flour, and gen- eral merchandise, such as fruit, provisions, and frozen meat. Cardiff is also the first port for the importation of potatoes. The chilled-beef trade from Argentina and Australia is also of considerable importance. WAREHOUSE ACCOMIMODATION. Extensive warehouse accommodation is absolutely necessary to any port which aims at a large general import and export trade, and in this respect every effort has been made to provide accommodation commensurate with the needs of the port. In all there are 20 warehouses on the docks, and where it has been found necessary overhead traveling gantries have been installed to facilitate the landling Of g00ſls. ROLLING STOCK. The company owns 32 locomotive engines, which are principally used for working the traffic on the docks and the section of railway extending to Treforest. TEIE NEW RAILWAY. The additional mileage of the Cardiff Railway which has been put into Service is yet another example of the forward policy which has been followed by the directors. The history of the Cardiff Railway Co. commenced in 1897, when the growth and development of the coal field caused a demand for greater facilities to reach the Seaboard. In that year Parliament granted powers to construct an alternative line of railway between. Cardiff and Pontypridd. A bill was brought before Parliament in 1898 for that purpose and passed the House of Commons, but was rejected by the House of Lords. The late Marquis of Bute, however, determined to proceed with the construction of the railway, and in 1898 powers were obtained, which were somewhat modified in 1899 and 368 ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 1903, for independent access to the docks at Cardiff. The construction of the line was carried out in two contracts, the first being from the Heath to Tongwynlais. The engineer- ing difficulties to be surmounted were many. The Merthyr Road is crossed five times, the Glamorganshire Canal three times, and the River Taff once, every bridge being on the skew. The River Taff itself had to be diverted near Nantgarw, and in the first contract. alone there were four cuttings, from which some 622,340 cubic yards of material were re- moved. The letting of contract No. 2 was somewhat delayed, principally owing to the death of the third Marquis of Bute. It proved a much greater undertaking than contract No. 1. Some 917,000 cubic yards of filling were required and 11 cuttings. In one of these near Nantgarw, after blasting Solid rock, when a foundation for the bridge was required, a cave was found with soft material underneath, necessitating the driving of piles and filling of concrete to obtain foundations. Ten retaining walls, some of great length and height, 12 under bridges, 15 over bridges, a large number of culverts, a tunnel 108% yards long, a viaduct over the River Taff, and a feeder to the Treforest Tinplate Works, covered in by a three-center brick arch of 33 feet span, and a length of 472 feet 10 inches, had to be COnStructed. It will thus be seen that by their Own line the company are in direct touch with the great coal field, and the reader Will gain some little idea from the foregoing facts of the efforts the company has made to bring the docks in closer touch with the collieries. QUAY, STORAGE, AND SIDING ACCOMMODATION. There is ample land around and Contiguous to the docks, having railway and road access thereto, available and well suited for the erection of new works of all kinds. Raw material for such works brought immediately alongside can be exported without incurring heavy railway charges, which bear oftentimes with crushing force on inland industries. The docks are surrounded by a network of Sidings and large quantities of coal can be stored on the sidings ready for immediate shipment. Tin plates and goods affected by the weather are stored in spacious warehouses on the quays alongside steamer berths and can be shipped as required. TIMEER. The importation, sawing, and distribution of Wood, principally hewn and sawn, and pit props, and mining timber from the White Sea, the Baltic, Norway and Sweden, Fin- land, the Danube, and Canada, is one of the chief industries carried on in the port, and spacious areas are specially Set apart for its accommodation. The importation of pit wood and pit props into Cardiff for the last five years were as follows: Tons. 1918----------------------- -- - 409, 507 1914-------------- - - 336, 661 1915–––––––––––– - 413, 399 1916 449, 650 1917 t 300,936 GRAIN. More grain is imported into Cardiff than any other port in South Wales, and there are large mills and granaries situated around the docks. The facilities for the discharge, warehousing, and transportation of all kinds of grain are in keeping with the requirements. The local conditions make Cardiff a most economical port for the handling of grain as well as other merchandise. The proximity and efficiency of the system of waterways allow of cargoes being discharged straight from ship into water carriers, and manufacturers own craft, which in most cases proceed direct to consumers’ premises without further manipulation. # ENGILISH PORT FACILITIES. - 869 TIMRER FLOATS. There are extensive timber floats and storage grounds situated at the Bute docks. PILOTAGE. & Pilotage at Cardiff docks is not compulsory in normal times, the approach to the docks being easy and Safe. RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION. The Bute docks are linked up with all the grand trunk railways of the Kingdom, being served by the Great Western, London & North Western, Midland.

The Cardiff Railway Co. undertake at reasonable rates the discharging, landing, for- warding, and warehousing of all kinds of goods as well as shipping and other services. Powerful hydraulic and steam Cranes are provided for dealing with heavy inachinery, capable of lifting up to 70 tons weight to a height of 74 feet from quay level, giving great facilities in loading and discharging heavy machinery from and on to vessels. Particulars and rates can be obtained on application to the Cardiff Railway Co., Cardiff. - DRY-DOCKING. Possibly no port this side of the Tyne is equipped with better facilities for underiaking this particular work than Cardiff. There are 12 graving and floating docks, capable of accommodating the largest vessel afloat, and one public gridiron. 350 feet in length. Wessels come from distant parts to Cardiff to effect repairs, and the numerous firms who deal with this particular work are well equipped with the necessary gear for under- taking jobs of any magnitude. Charges for use of public graving dock and all information can be had on application to the dock master, Cardiff Railway Co., Cardiff. CARDIFF AS A DISTRIBUTING CENTER. The unrivaled geographical position of Cardiff, with its superior dock accommodation and facilities and rail and water connections, offers exceptional advantages for the dis- tribution of merchandise to all parts of the Kingdom. With the dispatch insured by mod- 130133–19—24 370 ENGIISH PORT FACILITIES. ern methods of handling, delivery at inland centers can be generally guaranteed within a very short time after a vessel's arrival at her berth, and cargo for export can be delivered and shipped at the docks with equal promptitude. - Another valuable means of communication is furnished by the coastwise craft plying between the “Bristol Channel ports, most of which are reached within three to four hours. Large quantities of grain, provisions, and general merchandise are distributed in this way. There are also regular lines of steamers trading to Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, the principal Irish ports, London, Hull, and Cornwall. Also frequent and regular steamship communication with the European ports, the colonies, and foreign countries all over the world. Manufacturers importing from or exporting to these ports are thus enabled to effect the greatest economy in transport charges. Cardiff is the natural port for Birmingham and the Midland district, and the London & North Western, Midland, and Great Western Railway Cos. have direct communication right on to the dock side.

IMPORT TRADE. Every facility is given for the carrying on and fostering of an import trade. Large warehouses (bonded and free), granaries, elevators, and transit sheds, as well as extensive wharves and yards, are available for the storage of provisions, grain, timber, esparto, iron ore, and general merchandise, and warrants are issued on all goods in the Cardiff Railway Co.'s custody. There are hundreds of acres of land in the vicinity of the docks, with railway communication to and from the Bute docks and all parts of the United Kingdom, suitable for works and factories of every description. This land can be had on long leases, and, as the Bute docks are within 12 miles' reach of some of the collieries and possess competitive and complete railway communication, the position in unsurpassed at any other port. The sea freights to Cardiff are less than other ports, as vessels can pro- cure an outward cargo, thereby saving the expenses and delay in changing ports. Imports at the Bute docks in the year 1913.

The dock dues or rates on both vessels and goods are from 20 to 30 per Cent less at the Bute docks than at most of the leading docks in the United Kingdom. For example, ENGLISH PORT FACILITIES. 387 take the case of a vessel bound for “any port beyond Europe,” the rates at the chief ports range from 1s. to 1s. 4d. per ton, whilst at the Bute docks the rate is only 9d. per ton register. * The rates or dues on goods are equally favorable to Cardiff, in fact, more so, as no town dues are charged on goods, which makes a difference in many instances of at least 50 per cent in favor of Cardiff. GRAVING DoCKs. The Bute docks are well provided with appliances for the repair of vessels. There are 12 graving and floating docks already in use, ranging up to 800 feet in length and 70 feet in width. Wessels Of any size can be repaired with good dispatch, as there are several large engineering Works on the premises capable of performing any repairs that may be required. A site is provided for two large graving docks, 850 feet in length, in the Queen Alexandra dock. Q - MACHINERY AND APPLIANCES. The Bute docks are Supplied with the most modern machinery, the greater portion of which is worked by hydraulic pressure. Among the appliances may be mentioned the following: There are 66 fixed and movable coal staiths and coaling cranes, some capable of ship- ping more than 300 tons per hour. Lettiş-Hunter patent coaling cranes.—It is claimed for these appliances that they are the most satisfactory of all appliances for shipping coal with the least possible break- age. In fact, it is said that the coal shipped by these cranes turns out. when shipped as colliery screened only, equal to double-screened coal, thereby effecting a saving of from 6d. to 9d. per ton. Three or more cranes can be worked simultaneously, and 6,715 tons have been shipped in 11 hours' working into one vessel. Recently trunk and turret steamers have loaded full cargoes of coal by the Lewis-Hunter cranes without any manual aid in trimming. Cranes, a large number of which are movable and worked by hydraulic and electric power, lifting up to 70 tons. w NOTE.-The Bute docks are the only docks situated in the city of Cardiff. Vessels using the Bute docks thereby save their owners and captains from loss of time in making journeys between their vessels and the merchants’ and brokers' offices, banks, Customhouse, shipping office, post office, etc., all of which offices are adjacent to the Bute docks.
