Usually called "Hall's Report on Shipbuilding" and bound as an independent 

 publication, it is basically an economic report. It contains material on three- 

 and four-masted coasters and some descriptions of smaller vessels; much inter- 

 esting information of American small craft, but is poorly illustrated as far as 

 these are concerned; lines and some sail plans of clipper ships of note; material 

 on post-Civil-War steamers built before 1880, including some plans; records 

 of some shipyards; and a discussion of the economics of the shipbuilding industry 

 during the period of the down-Easters.
