Millard & Bro., naval ar- chitects of New York. The hull and main deck is of steel and there are three joiner decks above. There is also a lower deck of steel for- ward and aft of the boiler and machinery spaces. This vessel differs from other steamers of her class now in operation on the waters of the Hudson river and the vicinity of New York in that the enclosed spaces on the third deck are higher by 18 inches than the corresponding outer deck. An unobstructed view is thus given passengers inside, over the heads of those seated outside. The carpeted saloon, eight private parlors and the writing room are located on the third deck instead of, as customary, on the second.
