World weighs in on ships and science across many pages
A fragment from a late 19th century periodical surveys shipping, science and society. It notes a plan in St Louis for steamers with adjustable keels, discusses Professor Maury’s daughter Miss Maury at Harvard Observatory, and praises the New York cruise ship as the fastest American cruiser with strong armor and fuel capacity. It also covers logging camps in Washington, naval naming practices, a San Francisco fire engined performance, and Sheffield smoke reduction via gas fuel.
