TRANS- ATLANTIC LINER, 1889 

 Rigged Model, usnm 271111 



Philadelphia, ex City of Paris , ex Yale 



The trans-Atlantic liner City of Paris was built by 

 James and George Thompson at Clydebank, Glasgow, 

 Scotland, in 1889 for the Inman Line. One of the 

 distinctive liners built for this British firm during the 

 1880's, having lines like a steam yacht and a clipper 

 bow, she was purchased by the International Mer- 

 cantile Marine Company and transferred to the 

 American flag under the name Philadelphia. In 1898, 

 when under charter at $2,000 a day to the U. S. Navy 

 during the Spanish-American War, she was renamed 

 Tale and employed as an auxiliary armed cruiser. 

 After the war she was returned to her owners and 

 renamed Philadelphia. In 1900, after running ashore, 

 she was rebuilt at Belfast, Ireland, and much altered, 

 the number of stacks being then reduced from three 

 to two. She ran between New York and Liverpool 

 for about 18 years before being broken up. 



The model shows a twin-screw, steel passenger 

 steamer having a straight keel with little or no drag, 

 graceful clipper bow with trails, false rails and scrolls, 

 vertical sternpost, fantail counter with much over- 

 hang, propeller shafts housed, and the housings 

 faired into the hull. The vessel has a long, sharp and 

 hollow entrance, a \'ery short body, or dead flat, and 

 a long and very fine run. The sheer is moderate and 

 unbroken. The midsection is foimed with a slightly 

 rising straight floor, a hard bilge, on a short radius 

 and a slight tumble-home in the topside, above the 

 main deck. 



The forecastle and quarterdecks are connected by 

 a continuous boat deck, though the rail line is broken 

 at the ends of the forecastle and quarterdecks.
