Iron Ship-building has become as truly a branch of national industry as iron-making or cotton-spinning and as in both these we are able to complete with almost all other nations in cheapness of production, and thus bring a large portion of the requirements of those countries to our shores, so it devolves on us to make every effort to keep up our character, as well as to employ the best material and workmanship.
It is trusted that this work will continue to promote all the objects sought for its publication.
