MARINE REVIEW. : 13 Ship Yard Notes. Montague Iron Works Co., Montague, Mich., are building one fore and aft compound engine 18 and 36 by 30 inches for Hausler & Dunham's new tug, and one 20 and 4o by 30 inches for the Graham & Morton steam- er City of Louisville. Nau Bros., Green Bay, Wis., will build a tug to take the place of the Charnley at Anderson's yard. She will wth one exception be the most powerful tug on Green Bay and will be equipped with a wrecking outfit and heavy machinery for pulling on stranded vessels. The Bath Iron Works are now building two steel and three composite vessels. The most interesting of these vessels are the two steam yachts building for Messrs. R. H. White and Eugene Tompkins of Boston. These vessels are designed by the superintendent of the Bath Iron Works, Mr. Chas. Ridgely Hanscom, who is also the designer of the magnificent steam yacht Eleanor, and for beauty, accommodation, elegance and sea-worthi- ness these yachts will have no superior. Although very different from the Eleanor in model and arrangement, they have the same neat sheer with a graceful bow and stern, and the smart, rakish appearance that so charac- terizes their predecessor. Both yachts are to be fitted with triple expan- sion engines and Almy water tube boilers, and will be completed about next May. The steel pleasure yacht designed for Mr. Fred W. Morgan of Chicago by the Racine Boat Mfg. Co. of Racine, Wis., is the first craft of the de- scription to be built in the west, and too much credit cannot be given the owner or the designers for the originality displayed in this design. Mr. Morgan will certainly have one of the finest yachts afloat to-day, and it will be quite an acquisition to the Chicago fleet. The yacht is to be con- structed entirely of steel, every plate being subjected to a severe test be- fore entering into the construction. The dimensions given by the build- ers are, length over all 140 feet, beam 18 feet, draft 7 feet 6 inches, dis- placement 140 tons. 'There will be five bulkheads running athwartship, dividing the boat into six water-tight compartments. The main engine is a four-cylinder triple expansion engine of the piston valve type develop- ing 850 H. P., and the steam will be supplied from a special tubular boiler designed for high duty, which will give the boat a speed of twenty miles per hour. There will be four other engines for operating pumps, blowers, dynamo and windlass. The yacht will be equipped for salt water use, and will have sufficient coal carrying capacity to safely cross the Atlantic. The crew's quarters are forward, and arranged for eight men, with separate state rooms for captain, engineers and steward. The mess room, galley and smoking room are also forward of amidships. The main saloon in the after part of the vessel is to be a work of art, and, together with the own- er's apartments and guests' state rooms, will be furnished throughout in mahogany. The dining room will be on deck just aft of pilot house, and will be 22 feet long, with sideboard, dumb waiter, etc. The boat when completed will cost about $75,000, and will have its own electric light plant, including a powerful search light. The same company has several other contracts for fast sailing yachts to be turned out for next season's use. Mr. Poekel, the chief designer of the company, is an entertaining gentleman of broad experience anda thorough yachtsman. He isa gradu- ate of the Royal Danish Naval Academy of Copenhagen, and comes direct to the west from the Herreshoff Mfg. Co., with whom he has served as chief designer and superintendent for nine years. Hull of the Unique. The most interesting craft on Detroit river this fall was the fast pas- senger steamer Unique. The accompanying view of her as she was on the HULL OF STEAMER UNIQUE, AT ANDERSON'S MARINE CITY, MICH., YARD. stocks at the yard of Alex Anderson, Marine City, Mich., will attract atten- tion. Sheis probably the finest modelled hull on the lakes, with the possible exception of the steam yacht Say When, and the work on her reflects considerable credit on her builder. I. L. SNOW & CO.
