The Toledo Ship Building Co. de- signed most of the fittings for these vessels and in several instances de- veloped fittings of an original charac- ter. For instance, it was found that the ordinary hoops could not be used for holding the sails and a rail-shaped sail track with a cast steel hank was designed. All of the boom castings were specially designed. The arrange- ment of the rigging also required care- ful attention as there is an unusually large number of sfanding and running It is of the three-blade type. - 415 These vessels lines in the Lite fleet. have all the sail ropes of a schooner and all the cargo booms ropes of a steamer. Each vessel carries two metal life- boats, 22 feet long, and an 18-foot wooden power dory. Each lifeboat will carry 20 mén. The dories are driven by 7-horsepower Gray 2-cycle engines. The second lifeboat was added by the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, which also made several other changes in the original plans. The most important change was the provision for a flying bridge across the top of the wheel house. This bridge extends to the ship’s_ sides. The storerooms were rearranged and the location of the ice box changed. The latter alteration has resulted in reducing the temperature in the main storeroom so that a temperature of 40 degrees Fahr. is. obtainable.
