+ The Brude Lifeboat Captain Ole Brude, the inventor of the Brude life boat, which success- fully made a trip across the Atlantic from Norway to the United States a few years ago, is now in Cleveland endeavoring to interest lake vessel owners in his life boat. This life boat is already installed on BRUDE LIFEBOAT one lake vessel, the car ferry Ashta- pula, of the Pennsylvania-Ontario Transportation Co.'s fleet. The Brude boat is unlike any other life boat (in. that it is entirely cov- ered ower, <a will be seen. in the accompanying photograph. It is practically mnon-capsizable and non- sinkable. Its double bottom is divid- ed into four watertight compartments or ballast tanks, and its tank. capacity under the seats make it impossible to capsize. As its passengers are en- tirely inside the boat, they are pro- tected from cold. The buoyancy of the. boat is such that it cannot be drawn down by suction, and as it has a very stout wooden fender complete- ly encircling it, it can stand severe punishment by being thrown against the ship's side in launching. A Brude boat 18:it. long, 8 ft; wide and. 8 ft. high can give seating accommodation inside the boat for about 44 persons. In other words, one of these boats would be more than ample for an or- dinary lake freighter. The Brude boat is fitted with a sail and can be navigated in all sorts of weather. Atlantic Transport Liner Missouri The Atlantic. transport liner. Mis- souri was recently launched from Harland & Wolff's yard, Glasgow. The Missouri is 383 ft. 9 in. in length over all and 50 ft. 4 in. extreme beam, with a gross tonnage of about 5,000. The new vessel, which has been built to the survey of the board of trade, has a double bottom constructed on the cellular principle, and the water- tight bulkheads extend to the upper deck. There are five steel decks and the scantlings are in accordance with THE MARINE REVIEW the builders' usual practice, so that the structure is a very strong one. The Missouri is intended to carry a large cargo and is provided with the latest and most improved facilities for working ship and cargo. The der- rick tables on each mast are arranged to take six derricks each, for working January, 1914 forward for working cables 2 3/16 in. diameter. The steering gear is of Harland & Wolff's type, cylinders 8 in. by 8 in. by 8 in., quadrant 5 it. 9 in. radius. The steering engine is situated in a steel house aft on upper deck and controlled by a_ telemotor from the navigating bridge. Nos. 1 and 2 hatches forward and 4 and 5 hatches aft. . Thete are' two derrick posts forward, one on the port side and one on starboard side, with two derricks on each for work- ing Nos. 2 and 3 hatches, making 16 derricks in, all, each lifting five tons. There are four 7 in. by' 12. in. double purchase winches arranged between Nos. 1 and. 2 hatches; and four be- tween Nos. 4 and 5 hatches; also two double purchase winches 7 in. x 12 in., arranged one at each derrick post forward. The warping winch is 8 in. by 14 in., double purchase, placed on the shelter deck aft, and the steam windlass is arranged on this deck The vessel has good accommoda- tion for captain, officers and crew, and a complete installation of electric light; also wireless telegraphy and submarine signalling apparatus. The Missouri will be towed to Bel- fast shortly after the launch to re- ceive her machinery, which is being constructed in Harland & Wolff's en- gine works there, where the vessel will be completed ready for sea. During construction the vessel has been under the supervision of Cap- tain Tubb, marine superintendent, and B. P. Fielden, superintendent engi- neer of the Atlantic Transport Line.
