LAUNCH OP THE IRON-CLAD FRIGATE LORD
CLYDE.

Another valuable addition to our squadron of
iron-chid vowels of wee—which already numbers a fleet of
armour-plated ships larger than that posseseeil by any other
maritime power in the world—bas just been made by the
March from Pembroke Dockyard, on Thursday afternoon,
of the iron-plated frigate Lard Clyde, the first of the sew
iron-cased eessls of war of the largest sire and dimensions
designed by and constructed under the immediate superin-
tendence of Mr. E. d. Reed, the present chief constructor
of the Dewy. The Lord Clyde is a wooden ship, but plated
completely round, from stem to stern above her water-
Ilse, with pietas of enormous sire and thickness.
As she lay on the stocks awaiting the moment for her
launch, her vast form sod proportions elicited uni-
versal admiration, although her peculiar shape and
remarkable climactic called forth feelings of woodier
and disappointment, the Lord Clyde differing in shape
from any other vessel yet built for the English nary.
The following figures will show her principal dimensions :
Length between the perpendiculars, 2-40 f t. ; length of keel
for tonnage, 233 f I. ; breadth, extreme, 58ft Pin.;
