The steamer to catry railway trains Baltic and is remark- able for the length of voyage she will accomplish. Usually when trains ate carried across arms of 'the sea the transit is ibut short, in this 'case however the voyage will take place from Sassnitz in Germany 'to Trelleborg in Sweden, a distance of no less than 65 nautical miles, across sea which at times is very rough. The vessel is 354 ft. in length by | 'oven 50 ft. beam and will be propelled | 'by twin-screw, triple-expansion en- gines supplied with steam from four large boilers working under How- den's system of forced draft. son, is intended across the The trains are carried on two tracks on the car deck, occupying nearly the whole surface. of the deck. Above that are very luxurious rooms for the passengers including smoking room, lounge, special suites, etc. Under- neath the car deck are a large number of staterooms for passengers who are not occupying the sleeping berths on the train, both first 'class and third class are provided for. The vessel has been designed to be very steady at sea and has un- usually large bildge keels! fitted to minimize the rolling. A large num- ber of ring plates and screws and spring 'buffers are arranged 'to pre- vent the cars from moving when at sea. For safety in entering and leaving port a bow rudder is fitted as well as the stern rudder and both are tendence controlled 'by steam from the captain's bridge. The steamer has oes divided into a very large number of watertight compartments which, with the Stone- Lloyd bulkhead doors with which she is fitted, render her practically un- sinka'ble. She is also to be fitted with a submarine signal installation. The ventilating and heating is en- sured 'by an installation of thermo tanks enabling fresh warm lair to be forced into all the rooms in winter and fresh cool air in summer. It is intended that the vessel shall have a speed of over 16 knots per hour which will enable her to make her journey between Trelleborg and Sassnitz within 4 'hours. The vessel is being built to the order of the Royal Administration of the Swedish State Railways who were represented at the launch by Mr. Klemming, their assistant director general. Mr. W. Hok, naval architect, of Stockholm, under whose superin- the vessel has been (built and who is responsible fon the de- sign, was also present, as well as Capt. Ljungberg, who will take com- mand of the vessel when she is com- pleted. The christening 'ceremony gracefully performed by Mrs. J. Den "was ham Christie, of Tynemouth, and the vessel was named the Drottning Vic- toria.
