1. This Company has been formed for the pur pose of purchas-
ing and extending the well known and valuable business,
hitherto carried on by private capitalists, under the firm of
" The Millwall Ironworks and Sh.pbuilding Company."
2. The capabilities of the Millwall establishment for the pro-
duction of every class of iron work are unsurpassed. -The
engineers' shops are furnished with the most complete mo-
dern machinery adapted for the construction of marine en-
gines of high power ; the two foundries, the rolling mills, the
smiths' ships, and forges, with eight steam hammers—of
sufficient power to execute forgings of the heaviest class—
are in periect working condition, including, all the latest im-
provements.
3. These mills and forges alone are, from their capacity and
efficiency, of great value; and when taken in conjunction
with the ship building yard, present a combination for pro-
fitable results not existing elsewhere. The rolling mills,
which are for the manuncture of plates and angle iron for
ship's purposes, and armour plates, are the most powerful in
the kingdom, and now stand unsurpassed for the high
character of their manufacture, and can produce 1,000 tons
per week, including at least 700 tons of finished iron.
4. Upon the ship-building yard, which possesses a frontage
to the River Thames of 1,750 feet, there ,s capacity for laying
down 35,000 tons of shipping. It comprises a new and care-
fully-piled dock (in which the armour-clad frigate Northum-
berland, 6,620 tons, is now being c nstructed for her Majesty's
Government), with all necessary appliances for shipbuilding.
5. In addition to Ships being constructed for the British
Government, the Italian Government, the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company, the Intercolonial Roy .1 Mail S cam Packet
Company, the Ottoman Government, and private merchants,
twelve screw steamships with their engines are under con-
tract.
6. The Company has also purchased the Britannia Graving
or' Dry Dock, now in efficient working, and the adjoining land,
called Fergusson's Mast-pond, containing, space for two dry
docks of 470 and 350 feet respectively.
7. The operations of the Company will be condu:ted by Mr.
George Harrison, whose great experience and abilities will
be devoted exclusively to the interests of this company, and
and as the whole of the valuable roperty has been ceded to
the Company upon terms which are considered highly ad-
vantageous, the result of the undertaking may be cons.dered
as assured.
8. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de-
posit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares
be a lotted han are applied for, the deposit will b e made
avai able towards the payment on allotment, .nd the balance
