U. S. TRADE FLEET
NEXT TO BRITISH
In Second Place With No
Other Nation
Close
LONDON. Aug. 31—According to
Lloyd’s Register of Shipping for
1920-21 just issued, the seagoing ton
nage of the United States apart from
Great Lakes shipping, has increas
ed since 1914 by over 500 per cent
and now stands at 12,406,000 tons.
Thus the United States comes second
only to the United Kingdom which
has 18,111,000 tons.
Japan, which in 1914. took sixth
place, is now third, with 2,996,000
tons, closely followed by France,
with 2,963,000 tons.
Including sailing ships, but exclud
ing tonnage on the Great Lakes, the
United States now owns 24 per cent
of the world’s tonnage, as against
4.7 per cent six years ago. the Reg
ister states.
The figures shown for the form
erly belligerent countries include a
considerable amount of enemy ton
nage provisionally allocated to those
countries. Germany, which in 1914
occupied, after the United Kingdom
the first position with over 5,000.-
000 tons of shipping, now only owns
419,000 tons.
The steam tonnage owned by the
principal maritime countiies in June
1920, totalled 53,905,000, an increase
of 8,501,000 tons a compared with
June, 1914; but it is computed that
the world’s net loss in shipping
through the war taking into account
the suspension in normal shipbuild
ing activities amount to 3,516,-
000 tons.
There is a reduction in sailing ton
nage since pre-war days of 614,000
tons, a much smaller decrease than in
any previous six year period and
doubtless accounted for, says the
Register, by the shortage of other
tonnage having given new life to the
construction of sailing vessels. The
United States, the only country
which has increased sailing tonnage
since 1914, now owns over 43 per
cent of the world’s sailing tonnage.
