SHIPS REGISTERED IN EIRE Particulars of the vessels registered in Eire up to December 31, 1938, which have been issued by the Marine Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, show that the total is 593, against 585 in the previous year, the net tonnages being 116,145 and 74,132 respectively, and the gross 206,852 and 1,364,359 respectively. Of the total, 137 are steamers, 364 motor-vessels, and 92 sailing vessels. The number and tonnage of fishing vessels of 10 tons net and upwards are 81 and 2703 respectively, a decrease of three vessels and an increase of 300 tons. The net tonnage of fishing vessels under 15 tons is 1459 against 1501 in 1937. Comparatively few of the vessels are of large tonnage. There are seven “Inver” tankers of over 5000 tons each, which it was recently stated have since been transferred to the British flag, and one of which, the Inverliffey, was sunk by an enemy submarine. The largest vessels in the list are the New Sevilla (9902 tons net), Salvestria (8597 tons net), and Sourabaya (7194 tons net), all of which are registered in Dublin, but which are shown to be owned by Leith whaling companies. Apart from these there are practically no vessels over 1000 tons gross, except a number of passenger vessels sailing between Dublin and Liverpool, Holyhead and Kingstown and Cork and Fishguard, the largest being the British and Irish Steam Packet Company’s new motor-ships Leinster and Munster, of 2319 and 2323 tons net respectively.
