LOCKHEED...the place to tie up for repairs ...especially when you can't afford to be tied up for long

We go all out to get your vessel up, out, and back in business in the least possible time, at the lowest possible cost. Your ship is here today, gone tomorrow—ship- shape and seaworthy. Inside, outside, topside, or bottomside.

That's Lockheed service. 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week if necessary.

We can drydock your vessel or moor it for dockside repairs. And repair every- thing on everything, from tugs to tankers to Naval vessels.

When your ship needs anything from top to bottom, please get a time and cost es- timate from Lockheed's manager of ship repair, Ext. 631. That's his line.

Bulk Cargo Shipments

On Great Lakes Rise 4.21% During 1972

Vice Adm. Paul E. Trimble, president of Lake Carriers Associ- ation, has reported that movement of major bulk commodities on the

Great Lakes last year amounted to 198.151,828 tons. This is 8-million tons, or 4.21 percent, over 1971, and the fourth highest on record for a

Great Lakes season. Shipments of grain scored another high, exceed- ing the previous year by 5.75 per- cent, while stone shipments topped 1971 by 9.85 percent for the second highest figure on record.

A relatively restricted demand for iron ore during the first half of the year put ore shipments during that interval to the lowest in 10 years, a trend carried over from 1971. During the latter part of the year, ore shipments increased con- siderably, but not sufficiently to counter the results of the first half.

Coal movements held at about 1971 levels, and were again the lowest since 1949.

Total grain shipments on the

Lakes last year came to 26,692,466 tons, compared to 25,239,080 tons in 1971.

Ore tonnage amounted to 90,- 877,977 tons, compared to 87,447,- 875 tons the year before.

Bituminous shipments came to 43,196,307 tons in contrast to 43,- 290,445 tons, while anthracite ac- counted for 39,177 tons as opposed to 51,402 tons in 1971.

Limestone accounted for 37,345,- 901 tons, while a year previously the figure was 33,998,558 tons.

This propeller is designed to give your boat more power.

It's Federal Propeller's 4-blade "Power Thrust."

Install it instead of a 3-blade. The result is greater power, smoother operation.

Which means better handling and ma- neuvering. Reduced engine wear. Better fuel economy. And that's not all... "Power

Thrust" was heavy-duty designed with heavy blade edges to resist damage. So costly repairs ... haul out and downtime are vastly reduced.

Available through 96" in Federal's "B" Bronze, or super tough Ni-Bral, also in Stainless Steel through 40" diameter.

Get a "Power Thrust." You'll notice the difference. See your marine dealer or contact Federal Propellers,Grand Rapids,

Michigan 49502.
