" One effect of the absence of the White Star Liner Naronlo has been to turn attention to the many ships that have gone a-misslng In the past. Sta tistics show that while, in spite of all modern Improvements and the many safeguards that are .thrown around the ocean traveler, vessels continue to get lost, the average of marine disas ters Is not as high as It was In days gone by, nor are wrecks of today char acterized by the same appalling loss of life which a a rule distinguished thoue of earlier times. " fj The Naval Hydrographer calculates that In recent years there has been an annual total loss of 2172 vepsels, rep resenting In value about $100,000,000. The annual loss of life Is placed at 12,000. The loss of merchant and other ships from various causes was estimated at Lloyds In 1800 to be about an average ot 365 ships a year. In 1830 It was shown that 677 British vessels alone were wrecked during that year, but the number of ships afloat at that per iod was Insignificant compared- with what it is now. ; Subsequent years, particularly that of 1852 were very disastrous to shipping. The year 1852 was more prolific In ma rine disasters than any which had pre ceded It. In the following twenty-five years it Is estimated that at least 60,000 wrecks occured. The long list of vessels whose loss at sea was attended with frightful fatali ty Is led off with the British cruiser Mary Rose, sixty guns, which upset In a squall In the year 1545, drowning all hands.
