THE "FRAM" 371 



Besides the usual auxiliary engines, the main engine drives a 

 large centrifugal bilge-pump, an ordinary machine bilge-pump, and 

 a fan for use in the tropics. 



When the Fram left Christiania in the spring of 1910, after 

 taking her cargo on board, she drew 17 feet forward and 19 feet 

 5 inches aft. This corresponds to a displacement (measured outside 

 the ice-skin) of about 1,100 tons. The ice-skin was then 12| inches 

 above the waterline amidships.
