The Motor Ship publishes details of the second' largest oil-engmed ■craft in the world, which has just been completed. . This is a tinker with a carrying capacity of about 14,050 tons of liquid fuel, and is intended for the transport of oil from the United States to Germany. It is satisfactory to note, • however, that far larger internal-comb uation-engined ships are now under construction in England, including four passengers liners varying irom 17,000 io 20,000 tons displacement. Germany will, nevertheless, be responsible for .the world's largest motor cargo-carrying vessels, since two of this type are now on the a'tocks of a Hamburg shipyard, each with a dead-weight capacity of nearly 21,000 tons.
