Great Britain Iron Ship Rising From Millwall Forge
A London paper notes the Great Britain, the world’s largest iron cylinder ship under construction at Millwall. The massive vessel will be 975 feet long, 53 feet wide, and 60 feet high, with 10,000 tons of iron, divided into watertight 60 foot compartments. The 33 ton cylinder casting will weigh about 25 tons after finishing. The James Chester, Baltimore to Liverpool, carries flour, pork, and rotary bases, with crew resupply after rescuing mates from a stranded ship. The publication is filled with miscellaneous notes on curious statistics, odd phrases, and a court settlement in Stark County involving Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad damages.
