Mr. GILES. We were figuring on 20,000, 22,000-tonnage in that area. Captain Goodman, would you comment on that? Captain GOODMAN. Yes. Mr. Downing, perhaps this will answer it. The ships that over the past few years, all ships in excess of 15,600 tons, that had been engaged in grain movement at one time or another and you do, I know, understand that many of the supertankers are not available for grain-they have moved back and forth from oil to grain-at one time or another over the past few years ships that had been engaged in grain movement, came to, if memory serves me correctly, about 1,700,000 tons. This was the potential available for all of these movements. If you set a dividing line of a 31-foot draft you would effectively eliminate 1,200,000 tons of this tonnage. If you go up to a 32-foot draft you automatically restore about 700,000 tons. I am just giving you indications of the various categories of the ships. As far as the real large supertankers that draw in excess, we will say of 40 feet, there are actually very few of those. The Manhattan is a good illustration. That draws 50 feet, and there are some of the others. They are very few, but you have a great number of ships, let's say, in the 28- to 33-foot draft. This is where the large majority of your available tonnage comes, in that category. Let's say 28 to 33 feet.
