6 inches long with a working pressure of 210 pounds and arranged to burn oil. The boilers were made _ by Cramps. When completed the YARMOUTH and EVANGELINE will be, in hull, propulsive machinery, auxiliary equipment and accommodations the finest vessels of their size that can be turned out in any American shipyard. It is a pity indeed to think that it is necessary for a yard capable of such work to shut down completely on shipbuilding, to turn its facilities to more profit- able work. Harry Coulby, Giant Lake Freighter Launched HIS steamer, the largest bulk coarse freight carrier on the Great Lakes under American registry, is 630 feet 9 inches in length overall, 607 feet between perpendiculars, 65 feet in beam and 33 feet deep. The keel was laid Feb. 7, 1927, and she was launched April 30 at the Lorain, O. yard of the American Ship Building Co. The owner is the Interlake Steamship Co., Pickands & Mather managers, Cleveland. The main engine is of triple expansion, heavy duty type, with cylinders 25% x 41 x 67 inches with a common stroke of 42 inches. At 95 revo- lutions the engine will deliver 3000 horsepower. The ballast system is built around two 15-inch centrifugal and two 10 x 14 x 16 inches vertical drainage pumps. Besides the ballast pumps, there are eleven other independent pumps for various services, in addition to two 25-kilowatt and one 15-kilowatt generators. A sanitary system supplying the entire ship draws from two 6000-gallon fresh water tanks and discharges to all basins, tubs and shower baths with hot and cold water at 40 pounds pressure. Pure distilled drinking water is sup- plied throughout the vessel by special pipe lines. There are three boilers of the Babcock & Wilcox marine water tube type with a total heating surface of 9345 square feet, and built to operate at a working pressure of 215 pounds with 60 de- grees superheat. The accompanying illustrations show the great steamer, before, during and after launching, Mrs. Kenneth A. Scott, the sponsor on the launching platform, and in the group, L. C. Barnett, Mrs. Scott, and Harry Coulby, partner in Pickands & Mather, after whom the vessel was named. MARINE REVIEW—June, 1927 23
