Our Merchant Marine Supports Record Year for U S Fleet
The Bureau of Navigation reports total documented tonnage for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900 reached a record level with about 417,084 gross tons, plus Hawaiian and Porto Rican vessels adding near 39,000 tons and under 1,000 tons respectively. New ships built totaled 381,863 gross tons with steel and lake fleet expansions marking a historic shift, led by the lake trade and notable vessels such as James J. Hill and California. Prospects indicate total U S documented tonnage may surpass 5,000,000 gross tons for the first time since 1505, as Pacific and Atlantic construction continues and foreign trade tonnage remains high.
