The Frederick Billings, the largest American ship afloat, arrived in this port yesterday from Havre. The Frederick Billings is a fourmasted, full-rigged ship, netting a tonnage of 2,497 tons.

The Sorlandet is the oldest full-rigged ship still in operation and has been sailing the world’s oceans since her launch in 1927, when she was to be an educational ship for Norway’s young sailors.
