S. An- gelina. Finished in oak plywood panels with painted ceiling and rubber tiled floor A ee MARINE REvVIEw—June, 1934 end of this deck, with the pantry above adjacent to the dining saloon. Between the pantry and dining saloon there is a specially ventilated lobby with ac- cess both to the dining room and pan- try through double swing doors so as to prevent as far as possible odors from the galley and pantry entering the dining saloon. Large Freight Capacity Freight is carried in five main holds and ’tween decks, the upper deck *’tween decks for the extent of the bridge deck, and the poop. The total bale capacity is about 396,000 cubic feet. The ship is subdivided by seven main transverse watertight bulkheads and meets the requirements of the safety of life at sea convention for a passenger vessel. One of the unique features of the vessel is that the holds are almost uniform in length and rec- tangular in shape with all hatches located nearly at the centers of the holds, so that there is no long haul to any hatch. The main cargo hatches for Nos. 2, 3 and 4 holds are 22 x 35 feet, and those for Nos. 1 and 5 holds are 22 x 25 feet. The main deck ’tween deck is also served by four sliding cargo ports, each 8 feet 6 inches long by 8 feet high. A unique feature of these ports is that the bottoms are flush with the top of the main deck plating, this being accomplished by recessing the main deck in way of the ports. The upper deck ’tween deck space in way of the bridge deck is served by the No. 3 hatch and also by two 4 feet 6 inches x 6 feet cargo doors at the forward end of the bridge house. The cargo handling arrangements consist of a king post of all welded construction, aft of the No. 1 hatch, with three 50-foot 5-ton booms and three winches serving that hatch. The foremast, of all welded construction, is located between hatchs Nos. 2 and 3, with two 50-foot 10-ton booms and 11
