Woodside Ferry,

afford great advantages and are sufficiently cepa-
c'°llB to accommodate at one time from 9,000 to 10,000 tons of ship-
Ping for repairs. They contain over,3o,ooo' square yards of land,
of which 14,000 yards are dock and water space.
'1 he Buildings form a massive pile of stone and brick building,
300 feet long by 50 feet. wide, ,and comprise lofts, rigging-rooms,
and workshops for joiners, blockmakers, smiths, and boilermakers.
There are also engine houses, foremen's cottages, and stables on
the premises. The stock on the premises isvery large, comprising
an ample supply of materials necessary for the trade.
The average rentals are under 2s per square yard, including cost
f warehouses and workshops.
The dues charged on ships entering these docks, areithos
by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board-
There is little or no tidal current_ in the river between Woodside
and Monks' Ferries, and experience has proved that the largest
ships can be easily docked and undoeked at these yards in all
weathers.

The premises in Baffin-street and Etna-street, in Liverpool,
..where Messrs. Clover and Royle .have for many years eorricd on an
.extensive business in repairing *hips, will, it is considered by the
.Directors, be a. valuable adjunct to the undertaking.

the profits divisible amongst the shareholders, shipowners hecom-
Ing. shareholders will receive, in the dividends,,a per centage -of the
money expended in their own vessels, whilst the work will be
,efficiently and economically done.
