PROSPECTUS.
THIS Company is formed for the purpose of construetieljr:
a Floating Dock and Harbour at Silloth Bay,
SolwayFrith, on the Coast of Cumberland, and cone' 4o
the same, by a Railway twelve miles and three quarte'ae
length, with the Port Carlisle Railway, and so with
Junction of the Caledonian, Landaster and Carlisle, 1
Newcastle and Carlisle Railways, at Carlisle, tweliti."-
miles distant.
te
A safe Port on the North-West coast of England, be
Vessels may enter and load and discharge at all times at t
tide, has long been required—the other Ports on that C 0.81;
'
as Whitehaven, Workington, Maryport,- and Port Carliv'
being dry harbours, and only accessible at tide time. tit,
Silloth Bay, in the Solway Frith, and distant ol;led
twenty-one miles from Carlisle, is peculiarly well sit° c.
for the construction of Floating Docks, and a Harbour:o
cessible to Vessels at all times of the tide, night as vieli

and which at Drumburgh, eight miles and a-half
from Carlisle, will be within thirteen miles distance fwd

under the sanction of the Port Carlisle Railway ComPa%ci;
take advantage of this, and to construct a Floating: f'the
and Harbour at Silloth Bay, and connect the same
with
Port Carlisle Railway, by a line of Railway twelve:Aisle
three-quarter-miles in length, joining the Port Carl
Railway at Drumburgh, thus making the whole distance
Silloth Bay to Carlisle twenty-one miles. de
A large and increasing trade is carried on by .Totit the
and the other Ports on the East Coast of England,.gports

is also in contemplation. The projected Harbour at Sile°,3ol
Bay would be, the nearest deep-sea harbour to this!'itis
centre of railways, and'as the Solway Frith in whit
ie yap
situated runs up so far into the land, as a glance at th
of England will show, the Carlisle and Silloth Bay 113.106
with the Port Carlisle and Newcastle and Carlisle Itai'.oet-
would form a direct Railway connection between the theman Ocean and the' Irish Sea at the narrowest part e'd the
Island. The Harbour at Silloth Bay would thus affertures
readiest and best Port for the coal, coke, add mattufaclrtill
of Newcastle and the surrounding.district sent to thet,,eo
market. Steamers would also be, enabled' to ply be '0,04

It is proposed, in the first instance, to, make a F1°,,t1.0010
Dock, at Silloth Bay, of about four acres area, which `to be
serve as an Entrance Basin to Docks of a larger orea'there'
constructed when the increase of trade should require "ort
The Line from Silloth Bay to Drumburgh, on the :`,Ol
Carlise Railway, would pass through a fine agricaltuod
country, and a considerable income from local traffic oil
passengers may safely be anticipated. A single line
will be laid down in the first instance, but sufficient beti
will be taken and works constructed for a double line W, j 4
the same may be found necessary. The landowners ersre
general strongly in favour of the line, and some of thelliaer
upon the Provisional Committee, and promoters of the °u 'r'
taking. The country through which the line passes i
fectly flat and level—there will be no heavy earthOrot,
expensive works of any kind—and it is estimated ftlie
allowing liberally for all contingencies, the total costs ocedi
Railway, including the purchase of land, will not 0.5 r
£65,000, being at the rate of £5,000 per mile. Coot thi
tors of undoubted respectability are ready to undertone
construction of the line for this sum. vte
The Estimates for the Dock and Harbour have beell,:ceo
pared by Mr. J. B. Hartley, of Liverpool, who has had err:.
experience in the planning and carrying out of such Wethe
They amount to £60,500. The total estimated cost of
works will thus stand as follows :
Cost of Railway £65,000
Cost of Dock and Harbour
Parliamentary and Preliminary Expenses
and Contingencies
Total £135,000
The sources of traffic have been carefully inquired it,loc
and fully tested by persons extensively engaged in sbiliV
and manufactures, and in every way competent to OWcorrect,
correct estimate f the various kinds of merchandise
will enter the harbour and pass over the line.
Taking into account thepresent actualtraffic from No;
to Ireland, now carried by a long sea•voyage round the i 5 o'4
and which would be diverted into the new line, tole er
with the local traffic, a minimum return of £2O per roilebiel''
week may be safely calculated upon for the Railway,
with the receipts from the Dock Dues, would yield a tot'
dend of upwards of six per cent., after allowing 50 per
for. working expenses. 1700
The undertaking has the cordial support of the
Carlisle Railway Company.
