MILLWALL DOCKS-. Seventy years ago, on March 14, 1868, Millwall Hocks were publicly opened. The docks are situated between the West India Hocks and the Thames, in the Isle of Hogs, and derive their name from the fact that numerous windmills used to line the embankment or river wall, on the north side of the Thames along Limehouse Reach, in the days when the Isle of Hogs was pasture land, says the ‘ P.L.A. Monthly,’ in an article commemorating the official opening. Since the first ship entered the docks in 1868 many changes have taken place. The Port of _ London Authority has from time to time carried out schemes to keep the accomrno-

elation ami dock equipment up to modern standards, and important works have recently been completed, or are still under way. During the latter half of 1937 big now timber storage sheds, covering several acres, were erected by Timber Wharves Ltd. on the south side of the Outer Dock. The East Quay, Millwall Inner Dock, is now in process of widening, but a double-story warehouse is being built alongside. The Mill wall Docks are to-day used by shipping lines trading with the Persian Gulf, West Africa, Sweden, Russia. and Baltic and other Continental ports, gram, woodware. and paper cargoes being predominant. AKAROA LEAVES BALBOA. The Akaroa, which is outward bound to New Zealand, left Balboa last Saturday morning. She is due at Auckland on June 16. TROJAN STAR ADVISES. The Trojan Star, en route from London, has advised that'she is arriving at Auckland at midnight on Monday. She will complete discharge at Wellington, Lyttelton, and New Plymouth. FISHERIES RESEARCH SHIP. The now fisheries research vessel Warrccn, which was launched recently at Williamstown, left on May 9 for n six weeks’ cruise in Bass Strait and Tasmanian waters. The Warrccn is the most elaborately

equipped ship of her type in the world. Her main propelling machinery consists of a 215 horse-power Diesel engine,’ which gives her a speed of more than nine knots. A fully-equipped laboratory has been built on board for the use of the scientists who will accompany the vessel on her cruise. A special electric depth-finding instrument has been installed aboard the vessel to inform fishermen and scientists of the presence beneath the ship of shoals of fish. The method has been used successfully for some time by Norwegian fishermen. It is hoped that the_ investigations will lead to the establishment of a profitable deep sea fisheries industry on a large scale in Australia. Special interest will be taken in the tuna off the Australian coast. The canning of tuna is one of the chief industries of California, which enjoys a practical monopoly of an ever-increasing world market. Many visiters from the United States have expressed surprise that the abundance ot these fish in Australian waters has not been exploited. The Warreen will remain at sea for six weeks before making for Sydney. Then she will proceed to Cronulla, which is to be her base. IN RADIO RANGE.
