Novel derrick rig on Pollux steamer shocks East River observers
The Norwegian tramp Pollux, 237 feet long with about 2000 tons capacity, appeared in the East River with an unusual four masted derrick setup arranged in two pairs amidships fore and aft. The 65 foot steel masts carry independent winches and braces, a rare rig for ships of her size. Her sister ship of similar design trades in Chinese waters, and two larger steamers with multiple derricks are noted in nearby reports.
