September, 1926 MARINE REVIEW 43 ELLis STEEL HULLS ARE STRONG This New York Central Barge was torn loose from her tow and piled up on David’s Island, L. I., in one of the worst gales of recent years. She pounded in over shoals and rocks. She landed askew with three sharp rocks carrying her entire weight. Heavy seas battered her for hours. Yet she was floated off and towed to New York without springing a leak. Not a line in the hull structure was deflect- ed. Not aseam was opened. Not a single rivet was loosened. Such a demonstration of strength and seaworthiness sug- gests the reason for repeat orders from the New York Central. Other outstanding advantages are described in a Bulletin which will be sent to anyone interested in this practical type of construction approved by the American Bureau of Shipping. Write for a copy.
