CANADIAN SHIPBUILDING. "There is considerable activity in the shipbuilding yards throughout ■Canada," q, recent, visitor to the Northern Dominion stated to an Auckland. Herald reporter. "I witnessed the launching at the Wallace shipyards at North Vancouver of the five-masted schooner Marie Bernard. She is the sixth cargo-car-rier to be completed at these yards to the order of the Canadian- West Coast Navigation Company, and an order for another halfdozen for the company is just being completed by a Vancouver Island firm. Two of the Wallace vessels have already delivered their cargoes of [Douglas fir—l,soo,ooo feet each—in Australia. The Wallace yards have also- under construction a steel' vessel of approximately 7000 tons, while at the> recently established yards at New Westminster four large vessels ore being built to the order of the Imperial Munitions Board. At False Creek, Vancouver, rapid progress is 'being ■ made with the construction of four steel vesele for the British Government, and at the two yards at Victoria, Vancouver Island, employing between them 700 hands, work is proceding at high pressure in the construction of., a large number of wooden hulls. In addition to her shipbuilding operations Canada is co-operating with the United States in a scheme for removing from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic all vessels of a carrying capacity of 2500 tons and over. This, in the case of "Canada, will mean releasing 54- vessels for the Atlan-, tic service. Those that are too large to pass through the canals intact will be cut in two, taken through in sections, and put together again."
