THE LAUNCH OF THE GREAT BRITAIN. Vist'r or 1115 ROYAL HlGllNESS Parson ALBERT 'ro BRISTOL.

The proceedings on the 19th ult. at Bristol, will form an era of no slight importancein tlieliistory of marine steam naviga- tion. A great experiment is about to be tried, upon the failure 01‘ suocess of which the future extension oftransatlantic navi- gation by steam will probably greatly depend. In three par- ticulars the Great Britain differs from any steamer which has ever crossed the Atlantic: she. is the largest; she is built ofiron ; and lastly, she is propelled by the screw instead of paddles.

, Important as the two ﬁrst qualities are, the latter is the point round which centres the interest and attention ofall who either theoretically or practically study marine archi— tecture, and the construction of the marine engine. The ad- vantage of the screw over the paddles at ﬁrst sight certain- ‘ly appears to be immense, and the experiments conducted hitherto, although upon a small seale, would seem to prove that the expectations excited by the discovery of the screw, as a means of propulsion, will be in all respects realised by its performances.

Everybody who has once seen a steam~boat knows how MSIghtly to the eye are the incumbrances of paddle-boxes, breaking with their awkward proportions a graceful line of deck;and everybody who has seen or been aboard of a steamer, rolling in a heavy sea, may know how compara- tively inefﬁciently the paddles do their work, and how the leeward wheel is apt to be, every other moment, three-parts ininiersediri the water, while its companion to windward is ﬂourishing idly away in the air. The shocks, too, sustained by the paddles, when struck by heavy seas, are apt to strain and damage the machinery, and the opposition they offer to

. the wind is as obvious as the hindrance which they must op- pose to the working of the vessel. \Ve need not here do more than allude to the waste of motive power which the :onstruction and action ofpaddle-wheels necessarily entail. From each and all of'tliese disadvantages the screw is free. It does not disﬁgurc a ship; it acts equally well in calm wa- ter and rough; it is not exposed to accidents ll'On’l the mo- tion oftlie sea, or ll‘Olll causes above water; and, finally, it offers a more advantageous and economical method of ap- plying steam power than can the paddle-wheel.

With respect to the other peculiarities of the Great Bri- tain—her immense length and her metallic construction— we do not wish to speak. The advantages of either are meoted points amongst those who know these subjects best, but the question will be speedily set at rest. The Great Britain’s ﬁrst season will decide the case ofpaddle v. screw, iron 1;. wood, and immense v. moderate length. The Great

I ,Western Steam-ship Company have risked a vast amount in making what cannot be considered otherwise than an ex- periment, and we wish every success to them and to their mammoth steamer.

The general appearance of the Great Britain is quite

7 unique. In rigging, size, and construction, she differs from

every pecies of craft aﬂoat upon the ocean. ller immense length, unbroken sweep ofdeck, and multitude off'oi'e-and-

’ _ Aft rigged masts, will make hereverywbere known and con- spicuous. Nothing can be more beautiful than the model of the Great Britain. ller stem is as sharp as that of' a river boat, andlier bows are moulded like a wedge. Her sides are beautifully rounded; she may be a triﬂe too full amid- Jhips, but her rtin is as clean and ﬁnely-proportioned as the

‘eye could wish to dwell upon. Altogether, her appearance in dock was very striking.

The whole mould seems designed with exquisite skill, and adapted as well for great speed as for encountering heavy seas- Every thing, moreover, appears very sung; the saloon is lighted altogether by skylights in the deck, and the only windows iii the side are mere bulls’ eyes, looking into the sleeping-berths and state-cabins. The absentee of pad- dle-boxes conduces to the compact look of the ship, and the ﬂushness of’ her deck, of course, adds to this appearance. The Great Britain was on Wednesday temporarily rigged. Her standing rigging is to be of wire, but hempen cordage was on Wednesday bent in the same manner in which the wire rigging will be rove. As is the case with all fore and aft rigged vessels, her tackling is very simple, presenting no ‘top hamper, and having a look of bareness rather than com- plication : our readers are aware that the Great Britain car- ries six masts besides her funnel, which by the way is of immense diameter, but very short; only one ofthe masts is a permanent erection, the second ﬁ'om the bowsprit; it is much thicker titan the others, and is meant to carry a square sail and topsails. The other masts are designed to carry mainsails and gaﬂ'topsails exclusively. As they work upon a swivel on the deck, they can be struck in a gale of wind with the greatest ease,und without hampering the deck, thus leaving almost a naked hull for the wind‘to whis- tle over, and a hull which, consideringitsbulk, is calculated to offer very little unnecessary Opposition to the sweep of the tempest.

Large as the Great Britain appears from alongside, one cannot form a just idea of'lier vast dimensions till he gets upon deck. Then the full proportions of the colossal steam- er bursts upon him. With the exception ofa small fore- castle chock forward, the decks are perfectly level. There is no quarter-deck to break the ﬁne sweep from stem to stern. Looking from one end ofthe vessel to the other, the view is very striking: the immense length of deck over which the eye ranges appears quite inconsistent with the limited extent which imagination generally assigns to things oti board ship; viewing the vast mass before iis, and the still water around her, we could feel disposed to ii’nagine that never could the element exert that degree ofpower and impetuosity which would be needful to move and toss to and fro so vast a bulk. Enormous, however, as is the size oftlie Great Britain, well adapted as she generally appears to be for riding triumphantly across even the stormiest and most formidable seas, we could not help feeling that there. was a degree ofﬂimsiness, a card-paper appearance, about the erections above the deck; the bulwark is not breast-high, andconlists of open net-work, which, although it may in reality answer every purpose for which it is intended, vet gives a somewhatinsecure and unf'enced appearance to the ship. The companions, too, seem rather slightly built, and stand (we should say) very little chance of being found where they are at present, after the ﬁrst heavy sea that sweeps the Great Britain fore and aft. These faults, how- ever, iffaulls they are, can very easily be remedied.

The arrangements below are admirable. The principal

saloon is a noble apartment, upwards of 100 feet in length, looking, in fact, like along slice cut out ofa ball-room. Three rows ofpillars, with gilded capitals, support the over- lying_deck, and the appearance of'tlie whole, viewed through the Vistas of white and gold columns, with the side doors co- vered With carving, and the whole brilliantly coloured with white and gold, is both chaste and magniﬁcent. _ Above the saloon is a promenade deck, which looks like a compromise between a deck and a cabin; here the passen- gers may assemble in rough weather, and enjoy all the airi- nest of the upper deck, without its inconvenience. The ar- rangements for the second class of passengers are likewise extremely good; the fore cabin is as roomy and airy, ifiiot Io ﬁnely ﬁtted up, as is the saloon. and it contains paintings ofthe steamer in all positions, and as she will appear in all weathers.

The engines are partially ﬁtted, and are to be constructed upon a most room-saving principle. The cylinders slope towards each other frotn either side ofthe vessel, and the machinery, when completed, ‘will he a beautifully compact piece ofengineering. '

The steamer is divided into water and air-tight compart- ments, so that ifa leak should be sprung in one, it will pro- duce but little effect upon the vessel, as the water will, of course, be conﬁned to a very limited space.

Altoge‘heri “withing that skill, enterprise and capital can do to make the Great Britain worthy of her name has been done. We shall anxiously watch her career.

1‘ h‘mng been Publicly announced that Prince Albert would be presept at the launch of the Great Britain, the event thus acquired an additional interest. The‘ Bristol peo- .ple appeared quite to apprccmte the kindness of the Prime “in presiding over the ﬁrst introduction to her future element of the great steam-ship, and for several days the event and the royal visit had been the theme of universal anticipation

/

in the ancient capital of the west. Preparations had been

actively going on for several days, am] on arriving upon Tuesday evening we found everybody astir, and eager for the great event ofthe next day.

Wednesday broke more cheerfully than the weather which prevailed the night before led us to expect, and at an early hour all Bristol was astir. The streets were tlrronged with people, dressed in their holiday attire, and during the morning numbers ﬂocked in from the country around. Bristol is often, too often, We think,cliaracterised as an ugly town ; but the appearance ofits irregular old streets yester- day Was picturesque in the extreme. Every window of the line selected as the route from the railway to the dock was crowded with eager faces. Flags waved from towers and steeples, and from lines drawn from roof to roof. Trium- phal arches ofevergreens and ﬂowers spanned the streets, their fresh green masses of glancing foliage contrasting well with the antique, lumberitig old houses, their high Flemish gables, irregular outlines, rude carving, and projecting sto- ries, while the towers ofthe churches for which Bristol is so famous, each sending forth its merry peal to mingle with the general hum of enjoyment and excitement, furnished a scene, which, when steeped in warm sunlight, formed a very striking and beautiful spectacle. .

Shortly after ten, the special train, carrying Prince Albert, the Marquis ofExeter, the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Wharn- cliﬂ‘e, Lord Charles Wellesly, Colonel Bouverie, Mr. G. E. Anson, Mr. Russell, the chairman ofthe Great Western Railway company, and Mr. Saunders, the Secretary, &.c. arrived at the terminus.

Prince Albert had previously stopped and received anad— dress from the Mayor and corporation ol'B::tli.

On his arrival at Bristol, he was met by Mr. Gibbs, the Mayor,and the Corporation. Addresses were presented to his Royal Highness by the Corporation, the Clergy, and the Society ofMerchant Venturers,the latter of which presen- ted him with the freedom of'their body in a gold box.

The Prince then, attended by the Mayor, proceeded through the principal streets of Bristol and Clifton to the

vessel, the people everywhere vying with each other in their demonstrations of loyalty and attachment.

Upon arriving at the steam-ship, the Prince was shown over her, and over the works, by Captain Claxton, the ma- naging director, and Mr. Guﬁ'y, the builder of the steamer, and he appeared, and with reason, inucli delighted at what he saw.

The view from the steamer, exclusive of herself, was very ﬁne. All around rose the masts of ships in the various ﬂoats, dressed otit in chequered and ﬂaiinting colours. Boats and barges were crowded, and the various adjacent wharfs and quiiys were lined with anxious spectators: up- on the terraces and overhanging banks rising from the water, and which are covered with alternate clumps of wood, detached houses, and rows of buildings, every spot. which commanded a view oftlie proceedings below was crowded. From the water’s edge upwards rose tier above tier ofsp c— tators, some arranged in gardens, some perched upon sc f- f'oldings, some stationed at windows, and upon house-tops, the whole presenting a beautifully diversiﬁed and broken picture ofirregular rising ground, crowded with people, and waved over by all manner of gay ﬂags. Upon Brandon Hill a vast mass of people were assembled. The whole face of the hill was one dense moving mass ; and when the stin shone out upon it nothing cotild exceed its gay appearance, clustered asit was, from the base to the summit, With an or- derly and well dressed assemblage.

After going over the vessel and the works, the Prince and the company sat down to the dejeu'ner prepared in the handsome pavilion erected for the purpose. Mr. Kingdoti, the Chairman oftlie Great Western Company, presided.

After the refection had been disposed of, and the usual loyal toasts done justice to,

The Chairman proposed the health ofthe illustrious guest, who had come amongr them to christeii their great steam- ship by thc name ofhis adopted country.

The toast was drunk amid loud applause.

Prince Albert returned thanks. lle said, I thank you for your kindness. It has given me great pleasure to be here. I shall always feel interested in your happiness, and 1 now propose “Prosperity to the City and Trade ofBris- ml.”

The toast was drlink with all the honours, as were seve- ral others, after which the company adjourned to the open air, to witness thcgreat ceremony oftlie day.

Launch, in the proper acceptation oftlie term, there was none—the steamer was merely ﬂoated fi‘om the dockin which she was built, and as she passed slowly and majesti- cally out amid the acclainations of the vast multitudes, Prince Albert broke a bottle of wine upon her bows and christened her the “Great Britain,” with the usual ceremonies.

This over, the company rapidly dispersed. Prince Albert returned to town, by a special train, at four o’clock, and the vast steam-ship, the object of so much interest and speculation, was left quietly ﬂoating in the outer doék. We trust that she may meet with that success which
