Aren’t statistics surprising as well
as wonderful?
Fastest Liners Afloat
Ship-builders are challenged by the new
German liners, Bremen and Europe. These
steamers cross the Atlantic even in stormy
weather, in 4 days.
Their 48,000 tons slide over the waves
instead of plowing thru them.
The bulbous bow of the Europa presses
the water down rather than pushes it
aside, a principle borrowed from the battle
cruiser. This, with her cruiser-like stern
and powerful engines, makes her speedier
than the trimmest greyhound of the sea.
Is significant that Postmaster General
Brown has just awarded,an ocean mail
contract to the United States lines de
pendent on building two vessels “that shall
equal if not excel the speed of any ships
now
operating
in the
Trans-Atlantic
service.”

Such steamships cost $60,000,000 to
build, or more than a battleship.
This should make it interesting for Yan
kee ship designers whose “ clippers” of
former times were the world’s speediest
sailing craft.
New and faster boats are of interest to
the automatic trade because they are be
coming an important field for coin ma
chines, especially high class amusement
devices. Even the Lake steamers now have
their quota of amusement devices.
