Lakes Bulk Carriers Subject Of SNAME Symposium In Canada "Hull Stresses in Great Lakes Bulk Carriers" was the subject of a SNAME Symposium at the Cha- teau Laurier in Ottawa, Canada, July 21-23. Thirteen papers in all were presented by authors from both the United States and Can- ada during the three-day sympo- sium, which was sponsored by the Eastern Canadian and Great Lakes Sections of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in conjunction with the Society's Technical and Research Program. Strength standards and load lines for large bulk carriers on the Great Lakes have received con- siderable attention over the past few years. This has included full- scale stress measurements on the Inland Steel Company's Great Lakes ore carrier Edward L. Ryer- son, as well as programs of con- tinuous measurement of waves and weather on the Great Lakes by the Canadian Ministry of Transport, National Research Council of Can- ada, United States National Weather Service, Lake Survey of NOAA and reporting ships. The various technical papers presented summarized these on-going pro- grams, analyzed bending moment experiments on Great Lakes bulk carrier models, discussed current This is a picture of the ship that came in last week.
