TYPE No. 47. 



This is given as an example of ihe smallest boat which can have a 

 really satisfactory cabin. She is 38 ft. long by 7 ft. beam and has triple 

 expansion machinery 8 in. to give her a speed of 9} miles. If tin- 

 lavatory was done away with a smaller boat would carry a small cabin, 

 but in this case its usefulness is much impaired, as it also is if the seats .,t 

 not made sufficiently long to sleep on. 



TYPE No. 48- 



For purely river work the design shown opposite is better suited than any 

 other. The Launch is fitted with non-condensing engines and a loco type 

 toiler, which are placed below a deck to facilitate passage from one end of 

 the boat to the other. The arrangement is a very general one on the 

 Thames, and we think cannot be much improved for the work. The 

 Launch illustrated is fitted with very powerful engines for umpiring regattas, 

 and if this was not required the machinery space could be reduced. Sin is 

 47 ft. by 6 ft. 6 in. Speed as shown, 24 miles for short runs. 



TYPE No. 49. 



We give this principally to show the general arrangement of a boat with 

 compound engines and a horizontal boiler suitable for extremely rough 

 work. She is shown 35 ft. by 7 ft. with 4^ in. and 9 in. cylinders to give a 

 speed of about nine miles, but is only given as a type which can be made 

 any size or power required. 



TYPE No. 50. 



As an example of an extremely beamy and comfortable Launch not 

 built for great speed we give a boat we recently built for the Western 

 Australian Government. She is 46 ft. by 10 ft., and has triple engines, 

 which give her a speed of loj miles. The most noteworthy point about her 

 is the arrangement of the roof over the engines and the screen forward, 

 which, with the canvas sides, enables the machinery to be closed in 

 completely, or just as much as desired. This could be done in other 

 Launches of fair size. 



TYPE No. 51. 



Stern wheel boats while very useful for some purposes cannot be made 

 to go a very great speed, and where it is desired to increase this, and at the 

 same time keep to a light draft, it is necessary to employ a propeller in a 

 tunnel. The design, page 54, shows one of this type, recently constructed by 

 us, to run on a draft of n inches and have a speed of 13 miles. She is 

 77 ft. long by 12 ft. 6 in. beam, and is fitted with quadruple machinery and 

 a water tube boiler, but this would, of course, depend on where she was 

 wanted for. She was built of steel of exceptionally heavy scantlings for 

 this class of work, and in sections short enough to go by rail. Any of the 

 boats shown with stern wheel, or any type of light draft boats can be built 

 with equally light draft as screw, and we shall be pleased to quote to 

 requirements.
