l('E DAMAGE

The 1954-55 shipping season he- gan with the arrival at Sourls of the motor vessel "Carlisle Bay". This vessel had a cargo of 11,500 bags of cement and was under charter to North Star Cement Limited of Corner Brook. New- tnundland, by whom we had been requested to act as their agents. After discharging 3.000 bags at Souris the vessel proceeded to Charlottetown, arriving on April with.ll.500 bags. Unfortunately a large portion of this had been dgmgged by .,. as a result of .a leak incurred by ice damage to the vessel on her way from Corner Brook. The hardened cem- ent made stevedoring very diffi- cult and. from our point of view. this was most undesirable as we were naturally interested in keep- ing the handling charges as low as possible. In spite of this draw- back the cargo was discharged in fairly good time and we pro- cceded to load 342 tons of gen- erai cargo with which the vessel sailed on April 15th for Corner Brook.

The "carllsie Bay" made one other call at Charlottetown ar- riving here on May 2nd but without any inward cargo and expecting a full load for Corner Brook. However. owing to strictions of the Potato Market- ing Board then in effect, it was impossible to secure a full cargo and the vessel sailed on May 3rd with only 117 tons.

what has come to be consider- ed as the regular shipping sea- son got under way with the ar- rival of the "Blue Prince" and

"" sailed on November 25th with 50

r-ollowlng a visit by Honolu- able Eugene Cullen to Seven Islands it was decided that the market potentiality of that area was such that a serious effort should be made to provide a steamship service whereby our dealers could take advantage of it on an economical basis. With this end in view the motor vea- sel "Charles A. MacLean" was chartered and after taking on part of her cargo (ans tons) at Charlottetown she sailed on Oc- tober 13th.for Summerslde where the balance (115 tons) was load- ed and she sailed from Summer- side on October 14th with a total of 323 tons.

Unfortunately this vessel suf- fered a mechanical breakdown on arrival at,Seven Islands and plans which had been made for future trips had to be revised and efforts were made to secure another boat.

The result was that the motor vessel "Eskimo" was secured but owing to the fact that by this time the shipping into Seven Is- lands was almost over for the season and the buyers there had made other arrangements for the greatest part of their winter re- quirements it was iecided to load the "Eskimo" for St. John's. as our shippe B were in need of a boat to satisfy their commit- ments and it was known that the "Blue Prince" would not be av- ailable for another two weeks. Consequently the "Eskimo" sail- ed on November 16th with N) tons of general cargo.

On her return to Charlottetown it was intended to load for Cor- ner Brook but the potato market was in such an unsettled condi- tion that it was deemed advisable to release the vessel and let her return to her home port of Mont- real. Before this was done. how- ever. it was brought to our at- tention that one of the larger receivers at Seven Islands was in need of further supplies and we were , ched with a request to send the "Eskimo" to that port. it was very late in the sea- son for a call at Seven Islands but the owners acquiesced and co-operated in every way with the result that the "Eskimo"

made by the Brownies-

holiday. but we expect to have her

hcr sailing on May 12th with 340 tons of cargo for St. John's. New- ioundland. it is to be noted that this date was two weeks later than the previous year and we were advised that the dclaY W83 uuL35I0I'IBd by the fact that the vessel was not delivered from her annual overhaul until a much later date than had been expect- ed by the owners.

COLD STORAGE

During the period under review a new freezer was built on the smith side facing Esher Street measuring 60' x24' with a capac- ity of 15.800 cubic feet and was brought into operation in time to handle strawberries. Although not entirely completed it gave excel- lent service and was immediate- ly working to capacity.

ll TRIPS

Subsequently the "Blue Prince" made 13 trips during the year. the last of which was on Decem- ber lath and she lifted A total of approximately 3.100 tons of car o Including a full load of cat e every trip. This was an average of 239 tons per trip and com- pares with an average of 221 inns during 1953 and 174 tons during 1952. This reflects a con- tiiiiicd increase in the volume of business which our dealers are enjoying in Newfoundland and, more particularly, the greater advantage which is being taken of the facilities offered by this steamship service which is the only direct link we have with the upanding markets in St. John's.

in addition to the above trips of the "Blue Prince" we. at the request of - the owners and to the satisfaction of our shippers. We" Iuccessful in obtaining a carlo for the motor vessel "Blue Peter" which had undergone a refit dim ing the previous winter at Picton.

This freezer is designed to freeze 12,000 lbs. (standard tons capacity) per 24 hours and is operated by the machine y exist- ing ln the plant before the erec- tion of the new building. The rooms (2) on the ground floor usually used for the tempering and packaging of cheese have been converted and cooled and tiiaue suitable for the storage of cheese, etc. Considerable use has been made of these rooms since the conversion.

During the year a total of 3.- 221.131 lbs. of commodities were received at the plant. The am- ount is less by 603.03 lbs. than in the previous year and is part ly due to the fact that our butter rooms were already filled with butter carried over from the previous year. Also. Imelts which in 1953 amounted to 101.000 lbs.. this year only amounted to 18.717 lba.. being a difference of 82.283 lbs. The heaviest month of the year was JIILV when 725.144 lbn.. mostly strawberries. cheese. but ter and poultry was received in

LOSS T0 NAVIGATION

tit has been estimated that mil- lions of hours are lost yearly by ships and boats lying idle waiting to secure a safe. passage by the Ripple Rock. While complete re- cords have not been kept. it is known that at least 114 lives have been lost; 14 large ships have been lost or seriously damaged. and at least 100 smaller vessels and boats have been sunk there since 1875.
