Shipping in England Shows Sharp Decline in Vessel Values
English papers via the Acadia report a drastic drop in ship values across Great Britain. Wharf slips at Whitby and Newcastle fell by £3 per ton, American built ships sold in Liverpool for £6 per ton less than cost, and overall shipping value plummeted from £28,600,000 eight months ago to £1,144,000 now.
