March, 1913 THE MARINE REVIEW Both edges of this strake follow the sheer. H strake is an outside strake and forms a belt around the vessel, both edges being parallel with the sheer. Nine and one-half plates are on each side of the vessel, the tenth plate be- ing on both sides at the after end. The tank side and line of fore peak flat comes on this strake and runs from the stem to bulkhead No. 20. 87 lines are rove through stanchions and save any one from falling overboard. The bulwarks are. continued around the vessel aft, making a belt from No. 20 on each side of the vessel. The holes shown in the bulwarks and fore- castle plating are for mooring pur- poses.. The one aft is used for tow- ing. This plan could be made from the lines but the quickest and best way is to make a model and run the The fore peak is the part from the plate lines in on same.

The ma- chine consists of two globes joined by a hollow shaft which carries on its extension a pulley or shaft. In ap- enth plate on this strake is butted on the side, the body of the plate , crossing the center of the vessel at r the after end. This strake stands above the deck 9 in. and allows for a lap for the bulwarks and fore- castle plating. The channel fender By strake is immediately below the string- J§ . er plate and the lower part of it forms the knuckle around the stern. There is one longitudinal frame which runs along at the lower part of the fender strake. At the deck line is shown the scuppers at Nos. 4, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23 and 27, there being 7 in all. L and M shows the forecastle plat- ing and 'tthe strake above, the fore- castle bulwarks. Between Nos. 5 and 20 the bulwark is dispensed with, wire 2 ee} pearance it resembles a large dumb- bell. Any form of motive power can $e be used--steam, gas, gasoline or elec tricity. ; espe The Standard Oil Co. has given contract to the Staten Island Ship Building Co., Port Richmond, N.
