Cargo liners with speeds up to 18 knots, loaded, and 12-knot motor tramps with refrigerator space and accommoda-' tion for the carriage of vegetable oils, were envisaged within the next few years by Mr. A. C. Hardy in a paper read here before the Institute of Marine Engineers. It was interesting to speculate, said Mr. Hardy, what the ship of the future would be like. Their mean speed would probably he higher. The electrical ship was bound to bathe ship of the future, not necessarily with electric propulsion, but particularly for all auxiliary equipment, he said. British shipbuilders had “missed the boat” as far as the Diesel engine was concerned, but there was no reason why they should miss the electric ship in the same way. Mr. Hardy claimed that on the turbo-electric side. Great Britain bad done more than any other country to develop it, though the electrically-pro-pelled ship had originated in the United States.
