A Senate debate questions delaying ship construction by selecting a second Atlantic coast yard. It argues for funding and refitting either Boston or Portsmouth to accelerate naval reconstruction, urging government partnership with private yards rather than sole reliance on private industry.

Senate Keeps Naval Yard Funding and Adds Pacific Dry Dock Site
In Washington on May 25 the Senate with 18 to 29 votes kept $50,000 for Portsmouth Navy Yard improvements and balked at striking out Boston Navy Yard funding. Cameron secured $50,000 for League Island yard reopening and Allen pushed a commission to locate a Pacific dry dock north of the 42nd parallel. Cockrell opposed three new battleships and the House later debated river and harbor funding, reducing Mississippi River work to $1 million before adjourning after tributes to David Wilber.
