THE MARINE REVIEW November, 1914 CAR FERRY FOR ST. LAWRENCE RIVER SERVICE loaded with a train and locomotive weighing about 1,400 tons at the rate ef 1 foot per minute, to a height of about 20 feet, which enables the ferry to be loaded or unloaded at any state of the tide. Exhaustive lifting trials have been carried out with en- tirely satisfactory results. At each end of the tidal deck an adjustable hinged gangway is suspended which allows for any change of trim or heel of ship due to unequal distribution of weights while taking the coaches on or off the vessel. Above the highest position of carriages on the tidal deck, a promenade is arranged with a bridge platform forward from which all the operations of steering and maneuver- ing are directed. The main propell- ing engines are situated abaft the boiler rooms and the engine for the ice propeller is placed in the hold just abaft the fore peak bulkhead. The vessel is fitted with electric light throughout and electric gear is pro- vided for raising and lowering the end gangways and for hauling the railway carriages on and off. Special arrange- ments are made for heating the car- riages during transit. Double wind- lasses are fitted, one on each side with slip drum for mooring. -Accommoda- tion is arranged on flats below the main deck forward on both sides of the ship for officers and crew.
