November, 1914 ling of plating in the case of ground- ing and colliding. It is found after docking transverse framed vessels which have grounded the plating between the frames is cor- rugated and the same thing happens when they strike sidewise or stem on. The folds and furrows on the plat: ing would not be helpful to the plat- ing when the vessel was under hog- ging strains which would have a ten- dency to collapse. The longitudinal framing changes the unsupported outside plating from transverse and vertical directions to lengthwise and has proved satisfac- tory in preventing corrugations in the bottom and side plating. Isherwood ships can be repaired cheaper and quicker than the trans- verse framed vessel and the bottoms easier accessible; as seen by Fig. 2. The beam brackets and the bracket plates connecting the bottom of the frames to the tank margin as well as the liners between the outside strakes ot plates, keel,.G, E, G,-1, and. sheer, shown on Fig. 1, are dispensed with on the Isherwood vessels. The liners between the strakes of shell plating and frames have always been troublesome and increased the weight of the vessel as well. To dispense with the liner the out- side shell plates. were joggled on the edges but it decreased the displace- outside THE MARINE REVIEW Admitted to American Register The bureau of navigation reports 83 sailing steam and unrigged vessels of 17,184 gross tons, built in the United States during September.
