being 74 ft. long from deck to truck and 15-1/4 

 in. in diameter at the deck, and the foremast 66 

 ft. and 14-3/4 in., respectively. In addition to 

 the mainsail boom two working booms are fitted on 

 the mainmast: an 18-ft. boom to starboard for the 

 hydrographic winch and a 20-ft. boom to port for 

 the trawling winch. 



Deck fittings . - The deck layout of the ves- 

 sel is shown in figure 4. She is entirely flush- 

 decked fore and aft. There is a 12-i-n. bulwark 

 all the way around, while a 3-ft. rail with re- 

 movable sections in the wake of the working booms 

 is fitted abaft the main rigging and across the 

 stern. The anchors, consisting of a 521-lb. 

 Baldt navy-type stockless anchor, a 400-lb. old- 

 style anchor with shipping stock, and a 600-lb. 

 sand anchor, are carried on deck forward. There 

 is a total of 140 fathoms of 3/4-in. galvanized 

 chain, which stows in the chain locker. The an- 

 chor windlass has electric drive and an anchor 

 davit is provided for getting the ground tackle 

 on' deck. Between the windlass and the foremast 

 sire a hatch and a skylight to the forecastle. 

 The foremast has a pinrail, and at port and star- 

 board are skylights to the galley. Abaft the 

 foremast is the dredging winch, and then a long 

 skylight divided into three sections. In the 

 forward third the batteries are stowed; the sec- 

 ond ventilates the engine-room, and the after 

 third the saloon. 



The lifeboat, a standard metal boat, 18 x 6.5 

 X 2.8 feet, weighing 1300 lbs., is carried to 

 starboard of the skylight; and to port, the work 

 boat, a 14-ft. wooden skiff with an outboard 

 motor. Abaft the skylight are the mainmast and 

 pinrail. On each side of and slightly abaft the 

 mainmast there is an electrically driven gypsy- 

 head to which all the halyards can be led. The 

 deck pump is directly abaft the mainmast; then 

 follows the main companion trunk on which are 

 mounted the pelorus and radio direction-finder. 



On deck to starboard of this trunk is the 

 hydrographic winch. The section of rail oppo- 

 site the winch is removable and a sounding plat- 

 form, a teakwood grating measuring 20 in. x 60 

 in. , is hinged to the gunwale in such a way that 

 it can be stowed flat against the main rail when 

 not in use. Another removable section of rail 

 fits into sockets on the outboard side of the 

 platform while lanyards between it and the main 

 rail enclose the fore and after sides. 



Abaft the companion is the deckhouse, of which 

 the forward part is the pilothouse and the after- 

 part the deck laboratory with an open hatchway 

 leading to the laboratories below. Abaft the 

 deckhouse is the manhole to the lazarette, the 

 standard compass, spare wheel, and stearing-gear 

 box;.
