As stated- in Canadian Railway and

.Marine World tor October, Sir W. G. _Armstrong Whitworth & Co., Ltd., WWW UB A\lB~ 3.1 that they had had to inform the Dominion Government that the launching of the Prince Ew- ward Island car ferry had been in. definitely postponed, as the machinery had had to be put on one side to en- able them to execute urgent Admira ity contracts for turbine machinery, which had to be completed with all Speed. to the exclusion of everything else. Conditions, however, soon chang- ed. as a London cablegram of Oct 5 _stated that the vessel was launched at Newcastle-upon-Tyne that day, Mrs. G. H. Perley, of Ottawa, wife of the acting High Commissioner for Canada in England, having performed the christening, the name chosen being Prince Edward Island. The builders presented Mrs. Perley with a silver model ol’ the vessel. Earl Grey, ex- Governor-Geueral of Canada, and Hon. G. H Perley spoke.

The new vessel is an extremely

interesting one and differs to some extent from anything of her cless that has yet been produced. She is de- _ signed in accordance witll the experi- ence gained by the firm in building 8. number of icebreaking steamers now in use in the Baltic Sea and on Lake Baikal, on the Trans-Siberian Ry., and approaches to seine extent the Russian icebreakers Ermarck.al- though she is not such n powerful ves sei. The governing principle in de- signing such vessels ls to provide as far ns possible against the nip of two approaching ice fiocs, a principle

wegian explorer, Nansen, drifted a- cross the higher latitudes of the Arc- tic Ocean and this principal has been adopted as tar as possible within the linilts of the present design. The ice conditions which this car ferry will bc called upon to cope with are ‘seven-\. although not the same order ot' magnitude as those which have been successfully overcome on the Baltic S011.

She is designed and built for the

special service of transporting trains acress the Northumberland Straits l`rom ('upe Torniexitine, B., to (Tar- leton Point, P. E. l., at nil seasons. This passage is frozen over for some mouths in the year, sud provision has had to be made for breaking ice which will probobly attain a thickness of | some 3 or 4 ft. This severe duty has 'formed the governing factor in the design, both as regards the form and scantling of the hull mid the power

The principal dimensions ot’ the s.s_

I`1|.» t i-ItI\\'t.i~|I is .i:.t` are: l.c-nzglh over fender 300 ft.; length between prcpendiculnrs 285 i't.; breadln cx- trcme over fenders 53 ft. 10 in.; brcncltli moulded at deck 52 ft.; depth lmoulded 24 ft, The mean draught of water when lnden with gross weight oi' cars and fri-ight of 500 tons, togeth- er with 150 tons of coal and stores. is 18 ft. The general arrangement of the ` vessel is shown by the accompanying plans. lt has an upper or railway deck with a superstructure in which is pro- vided accommodation for passengers and otllcers. The care will he run over n hinged gaugwny at the aftcr end ot'

will be secured in position b_v suitable ‘appliances so as to avoid any chance ot' breaking loose in n rough sea.

A feature of the vessel is the ur

,rungement of the propelling machin- ery. There are thrcc sets of triple ex- pansion engines working nt 180 lbs. ypressure. with Hovrden’s forced draught. Two sets of engines drive twin screws fitted as usual at the stern, and a third screw at the bow. lcebreaking steamers to be effective , must have considerable manoeuvring powers, as they have often a very smull space ln which to work, and for this reason the twin screw ar- rangement is advisable, The bow

the vessel ou the railway deck, and -

ing the water under the ice, thus de priving it of its support, and so reduc- ing its resistence to crushing so that the overhanging bow of the vessel can cut its way through without experienc- ‘lng either the shock or resistance to which the older type of lcebreakers was constantly exposed, and very of- ten tailed to overcome. The how screw will also be very usetul when the vessel is going ustern or being inanoeuvred alongside the landing pier, and for driving the vessel asteru when working in heavy ice.

The after propelling machinery is

of 5,000 i,h.p., the forward set 2,000 i. h.p., and is capable of propelling the vessel at 14 knots an hour in open water, The propelling machinery is of the inverted direct acting triple ex- pansion type, the after engines hav- ing cylinders 23, 37, and 60 ius. diar. with a stroke oi’ 35) ins., and the for- ward engines cylinders 21, 33% and 54 ins. diar. with a stroke of 36 ins, Steam is supplied by six boilers 16 ft. diameter by 11% ft. long, of the usual single ended type, fitted with How- den’s forced draught, and with a heat- ing surface of about 16,500 sq. ft. There are four tunnels placed at the sides oi' the vessels so as to give a. clear train deck. Fore and aft tubu- lar stays and cross lattice stays are fitted for binding the funnels togeth er.

The hull is exceedingly strong and

heavy. The stem and stern consist of heavy steel castings, which concentr- ate on it small space the momentum of the vessel and so give the maxi- mum striking power. The frames are very closely spaced and the hull has been specially designed to give great strength to the railway deck. ou which the trains will run. A belt of flush plating some 12 ft. deep and 1 in. thick extends from stem to stem at the wuterline and generally speaking evcry conslructional detail has been worked out so as to offer the greatest resistance to ire pressure. The prin- ciple of subdivision has been carried very far. so that the vessel may be pierced in several compartments be- fore she will be in danger of sinking, and in addition u double bottom of the usual system is fitted. The hull is ,divided into nine compartments b_v eight watertight bulkheads, and filled with water ballast tanks in the cell- ular double bottom.

The condenscrs, which are separate

from the main framing, are of the uni- llux type, and a pair of feed pumps are fitted in each engine room. The pumpiug arrangements are complete and have been spec- ially designed to suit the various compartments into which the vessel is divided. A large horizon- tal duplex ballast pump is fitted. which can discharge through the for- ward condenser, ami there are two bilge pumps in each engine room. The circulating water from the forward condenser can be discharged through two outlets at the bow, to free thc i ship from frazil or iolly ice, There is a surface feed heater and feed filter in each engine room. The whole of the shutting and reciprocating parts have a factor of safety much nbovc the l.loyd's and Board of Trade rc- quircnients. and tho propeller blades are massive and of grcut strength. so that they may he brought up by‘ thc ice without breaking, when running at. full speed, » ~ ~ -

The car tracks are placed on the

decks# promenade, upper promen- ado :uid boat deck. Tile engineers and crew will be located on the xiluin deck, thc former all and the latter forwnrd. Stores, ctc., will he located on other parts oi' the some deck. The promen- ade deck is immediately above the main deck and cxtcnds round the space occupied by the cars. Over this is the upper promennrle and saloon dock, Tho. t`orwnl'ri house on the dock contains statt-.rooms for thc rap- tziin, chief and second olllcer und the tlrst class saloon, with seats for 38 passengers, ladies' room, and smok- ing room, pantry and stateroom for the stewardess, while the aft deck- house contains similar accommoda- tions i‘or the second class passengers. Above this is the boat. deck, iltted with davlts for eight llfchoats. the -wheclhouse being forward. The pus sengers will alight froln the cars and pass to the promenade deck by means of stairwnys on both sides of the ves- sel. Thcse stnirways lead to the en- trance hall of tho snloon deckhouses, from which large doors give access ‘ to the several appnrtments. In the puntries are lifts going down to the main deck, where the gallery is situat- ed. f

Thc public room, with the officers’

and engineers’ accommodation, are on the upper promenade deck, eu- trance to which is obtained by four teak stairwnys from the promemide deck. The first class public rooms are handsomely fitted and the dining room is a large apartment at the for- ward end of the promenade deck. The floor is of oak parquet artistically ur- ranged, and thc framing ami pannell- ing throughout is ot solid oak hand- somely cnrved. The ceiling is of plas- ter with paiutcd panel mouldlngs. A
