THE MARINE REVIEW October, 1913 'TOP OF PURSEKS QUARTERS about midships on the bridge deck. The last two will be supplied with electric elevators for the handling of sugar cargoes. To the foremast are attached four 8-ton booms and one 50-ton boom, mainmast four 8-ton booms, all for handling cargo, while to the mizzen- mast is attached one 8-ton boom for handling engine room weights. The booms on the fore and main- masts are operated by means of eight 7-in. by 10-in. steam winches, four to each mast, while the boom on _ the mizzenmast is operated by means of an 8-in. by 10-in. steam winch. A powerful steam windlass with ver- tical capstan attached is located for- ward. Steam: is generated in. three single- ended Scotch boilers, each 13 ft. 6 in. in diameter and 12 ft. long, containing about 6,000 sq. ft. heating surface, and six Babcock & Wilcox -water tube boilers, containing 22,800 sq. ft. heating surface. The boilers are to carry working pressure of 230 lbs. per square inch, but are designed and built for 250 Ibs., and operate with oil fuel, mechan- ically atomized, under natural draught. The oil fuel system is of the New- port News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. type, which has been developed by considerable experiment at the ship yard. This system has been fitted to several of their recent ships and has given extremely satisfactory results under both natural and forced draught. An elaborate outfit of machine tools is fitted in the engineer's work shop. The full complement of oil tanks for engine room are of sufficient capacity for carrying lubricating, cylinder, ref- os & = : FIGS OO Oars 5 Pe, ae a ates Qieess] © | eee oe [e209] [ooce oo! & = MD 5 n (e| [ooo] [0009 % ee + a "flesce] l ee -- 4 -Ges = aat If e Too] a re a | | : C ae be I I oo oo a pee Aas | 5050) EN PaCS Nani : SC (pees Ned a al -- di, hp oO qm go _@ a dy Pala eee ee Ss Ae ee tS cd Ie Ay Dade al Ke--sa ? aesly aie rigerating engine oils, etc., for a 60- day run. About midships on the upper deck are located spaces for the accommoda- tion, of steerage passengers. The rooms are large and roomy, and spe- cial attention has been given to their ventilation. Forward of these rooms and com- pletely separate from same are first- class staterooms. These, together with the ones located in the deck houses on the shelter and bridge decks, are panelled in a simple design in white. The white enameled berths, the ma- hogany furniture, the green carpet, all combine with the cretonne window hangings in giving a very cool and restful effect. Passenger Quarters - Wherever possible, private baths are arranged and all rooms are arranged conveniently to bathrooms. In many cases, rooms adjoining are so ar- ranged that they may be thrown into private suites. | Ten special staterooms are provided, each with its own bath and finished in an individual style of decoration. There are two suites panelled in bird's eye maple, the long panels displaying the natural beauties of the wood to great advantage. Six other rooms are panelled in mahogany with mahogany or silk tapestry panels varying in tone and color, and two are finished in white colonial, one with blue and the other with pink silk tapestry panels. The. special rooms are all fitted with heavy brass bedsteads and other spe- cially designed furniture in mahogany. In addition to these, there are eight other rooms, finished more elaborately than the ordinary first-class staterooms and not quite as elaborately as the special rooms. The officers' quarters on the bridge are neatly and tastefully treated and the captain's room forward is in close proximity to the wheel house, which is modern in every particular and fit- ted with every known appliance for ship control. Well forward and extending across the ship on the upper deck is the dining room, arranged to accommo- date 206 persons at one sitting. The style of decoration is of the late Renaissance period. There is a wain- scot of mahogany surrounding the room, surmounted by a pleasing ar- rangement of panelling, enriched here and there by ornament in low relief. The color scheme above is carried out in a series of grays ranging from a rich warm tone to the almost pure white ceiling. Wide spaced stanchions are enclosed in mahogany, richly carved, harmonizing with the carved pilasters all along the walls. The beamed ceiling is supported at these columns by carved consoles and at the forward end is the mahogany side- board of massive, yet refined propor- tion. At the forward and after ends are alcoves, which may very well serve for dinner parties, affording that priv- acy sometimes much desired. The ta- bles are small and arranged to allow all necessary space and to avoid the appearance of being crowded, as is generally the case on passenger ves- sels. An innovation has been introduced in placing a buffet at the entrance to the dining saloon, where one may go =< E=Pe=< T= eo I Soe aS oo oS yee ck ok cb: Th eid A) ; pea eI aoa a. ok s : so (arate | == Oo) : I ae SECTIONAL DRAWING OF DECK PLAN OF STEAME
