Motor-vessel, the "Suecia", belonging to the Rederiaktiebolaget Nordstjernan
(Johnson Line), Stockholm.
Built in 1912; 2 000 H. P.; 6 550 tons burden.
According to nationality the shipping is distributed as shown in Tables
115—117. On an average, during the years 1876—80, vessels with a
tonnage of altogether 2-27 million tons flew the Swedish flag; in 1912, the
figure had advanced to 12-37 millon tons. During the same period the
tonnage of foreign vessels had grown from 4-16 million tons to 13-14
million. Expressed as a percentage of the sum total, the figure for Swedish
vessels during the first-named period reached 35 %, and, for the year
1912, nearly 50 %, which shows a considerable advance.
