PROS I'ECT US.
The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the
well-known and successful business carried on by the Thames
Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black-
walL
The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company
(Limited), was established in the year 1857, and has now
attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels
of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial
marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour
'plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg-
Inge and castings of the largest class for marine engines,
bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam
hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, dm, are all of
the best class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming
together an establishment unequalled.
Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy
—the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur —have been built by
the Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been
received for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian,
Spanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course
of construction.
It has been determined to add to the existing business of
the Company two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving
Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially
connected with its present °per:atone. For this purpose, as
well as for the large and indressing business of the Com-
pany, a considerable extenAon of capital will be required as
the works advance ; ae:4 in order to carry out the objects in
view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Company (subject
to payment or fir, dividend for the
_past year) the whole of
the valuable t'lntraets, assets, goodwill, and effects of the
Thames Iron, Works Company, together with its liabilities
and enges;ements, as from the Ist of 'Tannery, 1864, in consi-
deration If the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company
of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that
Company will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and
£125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest
at 5 per cent. per annum.
The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of
freehold land on the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black-
well, and the remises and branch works known as the
Phcenix Iron Works, Millwall, together with the valuable
plant and works.
It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re-
ceiving ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda- .
lion on the River Thames is at present insufficient For this
purpose it Is intended to purchase eight acres of treeho'd
land immediately adjoining the works, having a frontage both
to Bow Creek and the River Thames, which 1 nd is, at pre-
sent, in the occupation of the Company, with the option of
purchase.
The proposad new graving docks will be in the immediate
Vicinity of the E,at and West India and Victoria Docks ; and
It is confidently anticipated that from their admit,,ble situa-
tion constant and ;remunerative employment for repairs,
both of sh',ps and engines, wi 1 be found.
The eAtating contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com-
pany, which will be transferred to the new Comp any, amount
to lipwards of a million and a quarter sterling (independently
or the work in hand for the forge and rolling mills), and have
all been taken on such terms as fairy to justify the anticipa-
lion of the same profitable results which have already at-
tended the Company's operations.
All the Directors of the old Company will retain their in-
terest in the ne w Company, and their seats at its Board, and
the management iv( 1 remain in the same experienced hands
which have hitherto conducted it so successfully, and raised
it to its present state of prosperity.
