Boston Placed to Gain From Harbor Upgrades
Secretary of the Navy John D. Long said no award has been made yet to Fore River Company at Weymouth since it is not incorporated. He predicted the firm will win contracts after incorporation as Boston’s harbor improvements will boost merchant marine and shipping business and position the city for naval shipbuilding. Long attends Commercial Club and Technology dinners before returning to Washington.

Mystic Harbor Welcomes Trio of Schooners at Foxen Wharf
In Boston harbor, a trio of schooners anchored near Mystic Bridge as the R. W. Hopkins discharged a Turk Island coal cargo, Eleanor A. Percy, a newer six master, and Tow Governor Ames, a five master, loaded 8314 tons. The Ames extended beyond the pier while the Percy was towed to Simpson's drydock after striking Thieves’ Ledge on its first inward coal voyage. The A. W. Chesterton assisted the Percy, and 140,000 pounds of fresh fish were landed at T Wharf from several vessels before the Dutch steamer Zeeburg sails out of New York after discharging cargo from the Mediterranean.
