ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is established to own and work Connecting
Steam bhips.
Connecting Steam Ships are designed on a new system,
which consists in constructing steamers in several distinct
compartments for carrying large cargoes, with great economy
of power, the compartments being,' all of one gauge, admit of
immediate disconnection from and re-connection to each
other; and of the transfer of the compartment containing
the engine, officers, and crew from one set of cargo compart-
ments to another, so that it can be kept in constant employ-
m nt, while the inexpensive cargo compartments are detained
during the ,oading, un!oaclinz, or sale of their careoes,
enabling, one engine and one crew to yeti orm the work of
three s earners of the ordinary construction, and realise- pro-
portional profits.
It is intended to commence business by running one
steamer compartment, and three sets of Car.; o Compart-
ments, to demonstrate the enormous advantages to be gained
by the system before proceeding to build the proposed fleet,
which will consist of Eighteen Screw Steamer Compartments.
and one hundred and ninety-elght Cargo Compartments, and
will deliver over one million of tons of coal to London, and
over three hundred thousand tons in Paris, annually.
Estimates of the cost of the proposed fleet, and details of
the annual expenditure and receipts have been reared,p
showing the large profit of more than 20 per cent. of ter
making ample provision for insurance, depreciation, and con-
tingencies.
A prospectus with plans and drawings of vessels con-
structed on this system, detailed estimates showing the pro-
bable profits, together with forms of application for shares,
can be obtained, or will be sent post free, on application, at
the Offices, 61, Conabill, eutrance ,Ciqiopsgate-street.
