id MARINE REVIEW. Work of the Ship Yards. Cadillac is the name of the steel steamer launched by the Chicago Ship Building Company last week for the Cleveland- Cliffs Iron Company. Her dimensions are 230 feet from forward side of stem to the stern post, 37 feet beam and 19 feet deep. Her engines were furnished by the Cleveland Ship Building Company, and the cylinders are 15, 25 and 42 inches by 30 in- ches stroke. She is for the ore trade and is expected to carry 1,600 tons. Capt. Brown will command her. She is being fit- ted out by Chief Engineer Kelley. Davidson's addition to the new fleet at West Bay City this year will consist of his big three steamers, two schooners and a tug. It is expected that the steamers will be launched and completed so that they will leave Saginaw river about the same time. 'Iwo are ready for launching, but are being held for ma- chinery, and the third is being rapidly planked and decked. The light-house tender Columbine was launched from the yard of the Globe Iron Works Company, Saturday. She is a duplicate of the Lilac and was illustrated in the REvIEW Feb. 25. She is for United States service on the coast of Oregon. Miss Hanna christened the craft. E. A. Shores, Jr., is the name of a staunch, well-built lum- ber craft launched from the Sheboygan yard of Rieboldt, Wolter & Co. last week. She is for the Lake Superior lumber trade, is 166 feet keel, 185 feet over all, 3414 feet beam and 12 feet deep and will carry 800,000 feet. She contains several new features, the outcome of which will be watched with interest. The tug Yula which Wheeler & Co. built for towing ma- hogany in Central America must have been very successful, for the builders have closed another contract with the Nicaragua Canal Company for a tug 106 feet long, 23 feet beam and to feet deep. She will be used in canal construction. Trade Notes. Some masters may not know that the tug Duncan City, Cheboygan, Mich., in charge of Capt. Bonchard, is always ready to go to vessels in distress. If there is one field not fully occupied in the lake business it is the Lake Hrie-Lake Superior passenger trade. The steamer Nyack has taken up this trade for several seasons and this sum- mer she has been especially equipped for it. The first class cabin fare Cleveland to Duluth is $26,meals and stateroom berth included. C. H. Tucker, No. 57 River street, Cleveland, is agent. The J. H. McLain Company, Canton, O., manufacturers of brass and iron goods for engine builders and steam fitters, have established an office at No. 10 South Water street, Cleveland, in charge of C. E. McComb. 'The following specialties are handled at the new office: Canton Steam Pump Company's pumps; Akron Heating and Ventilating Company's hot blast apparatus, and the Globe Injector Company's injectors and ejectors. Lake engine builders will find it to their interest to ask for figures when in want of any of these goods. kes Send 75 cents to the MARINE REyIEw Review for a binder that will hold 52 numbers. anor. {aa eel Z *s x Notices to Mariners.
