SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. DECEMBER 23. 1904. TO BUILD SHIPS HERE PLANT FOR THAT PI R POSE TO BH STARTED IN NEAR FI TI RE. PAULSEN CO. TO OPERATE IT. WILL BVILD ANY KIND OF VESSEL TO BE CONSTRICTED OF WOOD. Site for tlie New Plant Neenred on Hutchinson's Riant! Opposite Cen tral of Georgia Termlnnls—This Port Offer* Many Advantages Over Those of State* Further North—Cheaper Material and Longer Season for Outdoor Work Chief Ones. W’ithin a short lime, according to the present expectations of those interested in the plan. Savannah will have a first class ship-building plant at which craft of all kinds from schooners, barks and other vessels of 500 tons and over down to lighters, in fact every kind of vbssel than can be profitably built of wood will be turned out on de mand. The new enterprise will be con ducted by the Paulsen Company, which will not only build and repair vessels, but buy and charter them as well. Plans for the new business have been under way for some time, and are now so nearly completed that ac tual work at the plant will be started, it is said, within the very near future. The site tor" the plant has been secured on Hutchinson’s Island, about opposite the Central of Georgia terminals. Suvun null’s Advantage*. A member of the company, speaking of the enterprise yesterday, said that there is every reason why a port situ ated so advantageously as is Savannah should have a plant of this sort, and should be able to build this class of vessels in competition with any similar plant, no matter where located. Asa matter of fact most of the vessels now engaged in the' coastwise trade are built in the North Atlantic and New England states, but over these Savan nah would have many advantages. In the first place the yellow pine of which the majority of the vessels are built is shipped chiefly from this sec tion and could be secured by a local plant cheaper than it can be had in the North because of the cheaper trans portation charges if for no other rea son. The same holds good of the live oak lumber needed. Longer Season for Work. Again because all of the work done on vessels while out in the open this climate offers decided advantages over those of the more northerly states, in that workmen can be out doors at least nine months of the year, while further up the coast the' period is lim ited to six months or a little over. It is stated, too, that there seed be no scarcity of skilled labor, for this can be obtained whenever steady work can be offered. The Paulsen Company is now having a schooner of 550 tons built at Mystic, Conn. The vessel has not yet been named. EMILY F. NORTH AM SOLD TO MONCTON FIRM. To Be Repaired Here and Continue in ConatnUr Lumber Trade. The Emily F. Northam, which was sold at public outcry about a month ago and secured by Capt. Jacob Paul sen and subsequently changed hands to the Paulsen Company, has again been sold. Is to be repaired and re fitted here and when completed will probably engage In the coastwise lum ber-carrying trade as formerly. Negotiations for the purchase of the schooner have been going on for some time between various Northern con cerns and the Savannah owners, and yesterday morning the offer of the Sumner Company, of Moncton, N. B, was accepted. The purchase price Is said to be $2,000. The biiyers have noti fied the Savannah firm making the sale that Capt. Read will take charge of the vessel Jan. 1 and will repair and refit her here. The Northam was formerly owned by Thomas Winsmore of Philadelphia and was In the lumber-carrying trade on the coast. While making a trip from Georgetown to New York with a cargo she was badly damaged by rough weather and becoming untenable was abandoned by her crew, who first set fire to the vessel to prevent it becom ing a menace to navigation. The burning schooner was discov ered by the tug W. F. McCauley off Frying Pan Shoals, was taken in tow after the flames had been extinguished, and brought to this port. By an agree ment between the underwriters, own ers and the Propeller Towboat Com pany as salvors the cargo was sold privately, and later the vessel itself at public outcry. The vessel is of 340 tons burden, is built of oak and, for her tonnage, has an unusually large carrying capacity, being capable of taking a cargo of 340,000 feet of lumber. The needed re pairs will consist of little besides se curing anew mizzenmast and some work on the waist, together with the getting of the necessary sails. It is likely that her new owners will change her name, but this has not been an nounced as yet. MARINE INTELLIGENCE The Penacook, a government ves sel from Port Royal, reached this port yesterday morning and after remain ing here the greater part of the day sailed on its return trip In the late afternoon., Capt. Burroughs of the Nacoochee, which arrived yesterday, spoke the schooner Collins W. Walton off Fry ing Pan Shoals. The Walton asked to be reported. Savannah Almanac, TBth Meri dian, City Tin**.
