The old ship arrived here on Tuesday night from 1A estport, and yesterday a start was made with the work of dismantling her. All the machinery and gear will be removed from the vessel, which is to be taken round to the patent slip wharf to-morrow for her final St Tho >i Corinna is a substantially-built iron steamer, and is now just.on J’®-*] - . 8 ® £ age She was built in 1882 by J), and W.

NORTH SEA TRAIN FERRY A SWEDISH SCHEME There seems (says the “Shipping World”) to T be C a “bility ® £ a £ f al “JnJXf established between Britain and Sweden, XDyTSXthe Hio Swedish Lloyd Steamship Comto the difficulty of combining passenger and freight traiffc by ordinary steamships on such a route: since the former is not sufficient by itseft to be remunerative, and tlie latter, if it attained any volume, would lead to a considerable tune being Rnont in the terminal ports in loading and unloldbig As au alternative a train ferry is favoured and consideration is Being given to a scheme for a train ferry service between Gothenburg and Immingham, which has been prepared by Mr. 11. G. Hammar, managing director of the Gota^® r kon Gothenburg. Two or three ships with a "need Of 16.5 knots, and a displacement of 'HOD tons, are contemplated. would be 445 ft. long overall and i bea “j the depth to the train deck being 301 t., and thev would be driven by turbines with an 'output of 7200 horsepower. Accommodation would be provided lor -00 first class and 100 third class passengers together with 64 railway wagons of toi s pnmcitv giving a maximum effectne weight of from 850 to 900 tons. Whether this scheme would pay is another matter, but apparently the Swedish Government is prepared to back it. . HIMATANGI RESUMES. . Messrs.
