Перевод, предлагаемый Мультитраном (лесовоз) - не подходит по контексту.

After 1866, timber ships began to be replaced by iron-clad vessels, and so bigger coastal guns were needed to penetrate this armour-plating.

FROM THE TIMBER TRADE TO THE EMIGRANT TRADE

Few emigrant ships had been built to carry passengers. For shipowners and captains, the emigrant trade, which began in significant force in the early nineteen hundreds, was only an afterthought. It was a means of making profit on the empty, westward home run of the timber ships(7).

The timber trade between Canada and Europe had been long established. At the end of the eighteenth century, both Upper and Lower Canada's timber trade received a major boost from the Napoleonic Wars. Britain needed timber for rebuilding and repairing its Navy ships. The French blockade of the Baltic Sea during the wars had cut off Britain's traditional source of timber. Canada had an abundance of timber and the great, straight white pines of the Ottawa Valley were of particular value for building masts(8).

The Famine offered a new kind of trade. Once the ***timber ships*** had unloaded their cargo in Ireland or Britain, shipmasters quickly converted the cargo compartment into a makeshift steerage for emigrants, the "paying ballast"(9). Loose boards were laid over the bilges as temporary flooring and rows of rough berths about the size of dog kennels were fitted in place and covered with straw for bedding(10).
