New Matson Ships
p. 21 · Read in the full issue
11HE president of the Matson Naviga tion Company, who has been on a visit to Sydney, said that the new ships which the company had in view for the Pacific trade would be about 25,000 tons, and probably they would carry 25 per cent, more passengers than the “Mariposa” or the “Monterey”.
He said, however, that the plans of his company had not been completed.
His company was willing to co-operate with competitors in the Pacific trade, and especially did he look forward to the time when ships of the Matson line, and British ships, would between them maintain a fortnightly service between Sydney and North America.
