CLARE'S PROPO

BUILDING IRON

Before we have yet ceased.to wond

Clare, jun., of Liverpool, which, in

but none of an

sions, exceeds it by the total length of the Great Britain
(322 feet). A model of this extraordinary vessel has lately
been (

;4.00ni, White

The Principles Mr.--Clare propOses -in Constructin

after his plan, are equally applicable to shit

but in the first instance, he recommend
ment, a vessel to be built 1,000 feet 'king, with 70 feet of
beam, and 30 feet from deck to keel. She is to be 30,000
tons register ; propelled by loth paddle and screw, and
fitted with engines. of enormous power. She is to be built
like the Leviathan, of two shells, connected together by
longitudinal ribs of II iron, which run from end to end of
her. These shells are only nine inches apart, and extend
from the deck to the keel. She 'will be divided into several

y of experi-

It is from her external lines and build, the form of th
fore and aft ran of her sides, and her peculiar constructio:
and proportions, that Mr. Clare depends on for the enor
mous speed which he states she will travel at; viz., 25 mile
per hour. She is extremely sharp and clean at. her,bows

and just above the water ,has two deep grooves sloping off
along her sides downwards. The object of these is to lessen
the resistance of the water, 'as the wave, which in ordinary
vessels is driven before them, will, through these,-find a
ready means of escape. _ Similar grooves are constructed

along the after part of the ship, terminatiog at tha centre
of the rudder, whose power will be increased by eausinz the

whole force of the water falling in to be concentrated upon.
it. The enlarged view of the lap
,of the plates shows_ the
arrangements made by kr. Clare for increasing the strength
by rivetting the two plates and 'the H iron together, thus
securing three thicknesses of iron at these points along the
entire length of the vessel.

Indepeiidently of the strength of thc structure itself, it
further stiffened by a solid keel of simple construetint, n,

seen more clearly by referring to the transverse section.
The coal bunkers are placed on either side, the coals being
taken from them in equal proportions, as in ordinary vessels.
By reducing the width between the shells to 9 inches
from 2 feet 10 inches, as in the Leviathan, the patentee is
of opinion that he will greatly increase her capacity without
in any way decreasing her strength, as the arrangements
made in securing the two shells together by means of the
H longitudinal ribs or girders, and by lapping the outside
plates over each at the point where they butt against these
girders, and introducing a system of diagonal trussing, ren-
ders the whole a structure of the greateSt possible strength
We have now simply stated the -`1"

—c construction and advan-
Ages winch Mr. Clare-expects to obtain from.the adoption
of his principle, the value of which can; however, only be
decided by actual experiment. We trust 'that in carrying
this out his plans will be as succeP

sful as those employed in
constructing the French floating batteries, which repelled.
the 681 b. shot in the Crimea; and which were made from
designs furnished by .him. We are also informed that the
English floatin„o-batteries were in accordance, with the plans
he supplied to the Government in June, 1854.
The drawings we illustrate are made from a model and
sketches supplied by Mr. Clare, the inventor.--s'cientfA'c
Englishman.
