' ’ SHIPBEEAKERS CLAIM OLD SAILERS According to the Commercial News and Shipping List, a number of sailing vesselb, once well known in Australian waters, are now being broken up. The Norwegian barque Antria, 1998 tons, was formerly the French-owned Cornel-Bart, and visited Newcastle last year. For many years she carried grain from Australia to the United Kingdom or the Continent. The French barque Bayard, 1970 tons, which is being broken up at Genoa, was also a frequent visitor to Newcastle. The ship Barmen, 1670 tons, which was the first German sailing vessel to visit Sydney after the Great War, is now being scrapped at Boness,, Scotland The four-masted barque Dundee, which was built in 1882 and had a wonderful sailing record, recently arrived at Rotterdam from Brest, where she put in over four years ago totally dismasted. This old sailer in 1891 made a record passage from Cardiff to Rio of 31 days. She also made the fastest passage on record from Montrose (Scotland) to Sydney in 77 days. The French ship Parchim, which was built in Germany 33 years ago, made some very fast passages during her career She arrived at. Antwerp from Adelaide on July 19 last year after a passage of 146 days She has been sold to British shipbreakers for a little over £2OOO, BLUFF HARBOUR AFFAIRS.

The harbourmaster reported that 54 overseas vessels with a total tonnage of 245,849 tons visited the port, being an increase ot four vessels more than the year 1924. The value of the exports amounted to £2,596,35) while the value of imports was £1,185,005, showing a very favourable trade balance for this part of New Zealand. The total volume of trade for the port amounted to 148,258 tons Work has steadily proceeded with the con struction of the new wharf, including rock boring, blasting, and dredging so as to give an ultimate depth of 30ft at low water at this wharf Concrete piles have been made, a new pile-driving machine has been purchased and a start has now been made with the driving of these piles. The dredge has been kept busy o;i the usual dredging work and when not otherwise engaged is kept busy at the middle bank gradually improving the swinging basin. Blasting operations have been carried on when possible on the rocks located in the cnannel near Channel Rocks, with the object of reducing these so as to give over 24ft, at low water This is a, alow, tedious, and expensive job. Plans have been approved by the Marine Department for the new slip-way and this work is now in hand. Also plans were approved for the concrete sheet piling and wall foi the new wharf. A second diver has been ap pointed to cope with the extra diving work. The contracts for the supply of timber for the new wharf are practically completed The electric lighting facilities have been increased on the wharf.
