Re: [TSL] Ship "SARAH"

John,
The best that I could find on cost, from    
http://www.parl.ns.ca/woodenships/why.htm

"Throughout the 1860s and 70s, wooden merchant vessels continued to be 
built in the Maritimes at a relatively low cost (between $25 and $40 per 
ton) as compared to iron steamships. From 1878 onward, however, the 
supply of international shipping began to catch up with the demand, 
freight rates fell, and the decline of wooden shipbuilding in Nova 
Scotia began."

Regards,
Dave
