LINER TO BE BROKEN UP j LONDON, Oct, 27. 1 The career of the Red Star Liner Lapland, in which nearly 5000 passengers left London on cruises during the summer, is shortly to end. The vessel’s last cruise will be next month to the ship- J breakers’ yard. Built in 1909, the Lapland since June i 7> lias steamed 28.000 miles, calling at nearly 50 ports, and has never been late on schedule at any one of them, i The depression in the North Atlantic trade is so acute that the prospect ot the Lapland being used there again in the near future does not warrant her owners spending the money necessary for her overhaul. Japanese shipbreakers- are the purchasers, and it. is said that the price is about. £30,000 —the highest figure ever paid for a. merchant ship for scrapping.
