This paper, dealing with particular characteristics of commercial cargo ships of the 1930 - 1950 era, is but the first of a planned several part series of studies aimed at a preliminary evaluation of the potential of a sailing cargo ship. To put the matter in better perspective the Flight Concepts Laboratory of Princeton University has, over the past decade or so, developed a rather unique sail of very high efficiency. It has been used (successfully) as wings for airplanes and as rotor blades for windmills. Its applicability as a sail for a cargo ship is, at this time, not yet determined - hence this study. It is quite probable that the reader will be either nautically or aeronautically orientated in his thinking, therefore, there may be some problem in the semantics of the matter, however, every effort is made to define the expressions of the two related disciplines as they occur in the text.
