A Milestone
In Merchant
Shipping
WINSTON-SALEM—
Each time they cross the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
eigit “ambassadors” are at
work around the clock
helping to maintain good
will among nations with
their capability of carrying
up to 50,000 tons of cargo in
nearly 1,100 containers at a
cruising speed of up to 33
knots (40 m.p.h.).
These ambassadors of
world trade are the fleet of
SL-7 class od containerships
of Sea-Land Service, Inc.,
the latest milestone in
merchant shipping.
To salute the significant
contribution the SL-7 is
making to world trade, a
chart has been prepared
showing the supership and
other vessels that have
played an important role in
changing the course of
shipping throughout history.
Entitled “Merchant Ships
Through the Ages,”, the 24
inches by 18 inches chart is
suitable for framing and
may be obtained free by
writing the Corporate
Public Relations
Department, R. J. Reynolds
Industries, Inc., Winston-
Salem., N. C. 27102.
In addition to a full-color
picture of the SL-7 Sea-Land
Finance, the poster also
shows 23 other vessels in
silhouette, along with a biref
description on each ship.
The chronology of these
ships begins with the
Egyptian Boat, the oldest
known sailing craft,
continues through the Great
Western, the first
combination steam and sail
craft to cross the Atlantic
with her engine running for
the full voyage, and ends
with the world’s first
commercial nuclear ship,
the Savannah.
The fleet of eight SL-7’s
became an operating reality
in 1973 and quickly proved it
had no peer in the
commercial shipping
industry - from the
standpoints of both
efficiency and speed.
The SL-7’s are 946 sett
long, weigh 41,555 tons and
can carry more cargo at
faster speeds than any other
merchant vessel in history.
These ships can be
unloaded, loaded again and
on their way to another port
in less than a day.
These giants have made a
significant contribution to
international trade. They
have opened up new
markets abroad for
American commodities of
limited shelf life such as
fresh produce from the
Southwest and West Coast
regions of the U. S., thus
competing favorably with
air freight, but at
substantially lower costs.
Also, in a single year these
superships broke every
existing transoceanic speed
record, crossing the Pacific
in just under six days and
the Atlantic in less than
four.
