The annual summary of the world's shipbuilding for last year, which has been made available by Lloyd's Register, contains a number of interesting features One outstanding feature is the fall in the percentage of. total British merchant tonnage launched compared with foreign shipyards. In 1911 it stood at 68 per cent., but the following year it fell away to 60. and a further decline took place in 1913, when it receded to 58 per cent. One explanation of this marked tendency is that foreign yards were in the trough of a wave of depression while British yards bad recovered prosperity; and, since conditions gradually improved, foreign yards recovered lost ground until conditions are now normal. During 1913 a total of 688 mercantile vessels, of 1,932.153 tons gross, were launched in Great Britain. Warships to the number of 49, with 371,876 tons displacement, were also turned out, making the total output 737 vessels, or 2,203,529 tons. The mercantile tonnage shows an increase of 193J539 tons on that of 1912, and is the highest ever leached, exceeding the previous record in 1906 by 104,000 tons. ' Warships represent an increase of 80,000 tons over 3912. Practically the whole of the tonnage launched is built of steel, and over 99 per cent, is composed of steam. During the year the British tonnage lost, broken up, etc., represented 241,000 tons, while sales to other countries reached the record total of 780.000 tons. Against this, 9104 tons, all steamer, built in 1913 outside Great Britain, and 81,000 tons belonging to foreign firms, was acquired by British companies. The steamer tonnage of Great Britain would thus appar to have increased by about 637,000 tons. Few sailing vessels were built to replace the large number sold to foreigners, and the tonnage for this class decreased by about 55,000. The total amount of tonnage launched in Great Britain for other countries was 419,046, forming over 12* per cent, of the total output, as compared with 24 per cent in 1912, 22 1-3 per cent, in 1911, 19* per cent, in 1910, 245 per cent, in 1909, 40 per cent, in 1908, and 34 per cent, in 1907. Holland was the best customer, with 13 vessels, of 89,992 tons; Norway followed with 64,111 tons: Greece next with 39,997 tons; British colonies 37,118 tons; and Russia 31,217 tons. Outside Great Britain, 1193 vessels, of 1,806,262 tons, were launched during the year, and are divided as follows:—Merchant vessels, 1062. of 1,400,729 tons; warships, 131, of 405,533 tons. The figures for merchant tonnage show the large increase of 237,000 tons over 1912, and constitute a record. Germany holds pride of place with 465,226 tons. United States of America follows with 276,448, and France with 176,095 tons. A feature of the year was the number of mammoth steamers constructed, there being 21 of over 10,000 tons each turned out of British yards alone, 16 of them having a speed of 16 knots or over. The returns show that both in Great Britain and abroad 1913 has been a, year of groat activity, and. judging by the tonnage under construction in January, 1914 promises t- be tqually successful, if not surpassing last year's record.
