PROS PE CT CS.
The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the
Well-known and fIICOMI ul business carried on by the Thames
Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black-

T e Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company
(Limited), was established in the year :857, 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-
tugs and castings of the largest class for marine engines,
bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam
hammers, foundries, smiths' shop•, saw mills, Arc., 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 Comp my two other lucrative branches, name'y, Graving
Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially
connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as
well as for the large and increasing business of the Com-
pany, a considerable extension of capital will be required as
the works advance ' • and in crder to carry out the objects in
view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Company (subject
to payment of the dividend for the
_past year) the whole of
the valuable contracts, assets, goodwill, and effects of the
Thames Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities
and engagements, as from the let of January, 1864, in consi-
deration of 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-
wail, and the premises and branch works known as the
l'hmnix Iron Works, Miliwall, together with the valuable
plant and work 1.
It is proposed to const, not two graving docks capablr of re-
ceNing ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda-
tion on the Rives Thames is at p esent insufficient. For this
p rpose it is intended to purchase eight acres of freeho d
n t immediately adjoining the works, having a frontage both
to Bow Creek and ti.e River Thames, which 1 .nd is, at pre-
sent. in the emu' ation of the Company, with the optiun of
purchase.
'1 he pro oosad new graving doc't s will be in the immediate
vicinity of the E at and Vs est India and Victoria Docks ; and
it is onfl lently anticipated that from their admirable situa-
tion constant and :remunerative employment for repairs,
bath of sh ps and engines, wi 1 be fount.
The existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com-
pany, which will be transferred ttttie new Comp ny, amount
to upwards of a mil ion and a qua; te • sterliegAndei.eadently
of the work in hand for the fo. ge and rolling mills), and have
sit been taken on such terms as fair y to justify the anticipa-
tion of the same l rofitab e results which have already at-
tended tie Cos pany's operations.
All the Director, of the old Company will retain their in-
terest in the new Company, ant their seats at its Board, and
t'm management wi 1 remain in the same experienced hands
which have hitherto conducted it so successfully, and raised
it to i-s present state cfprosperity.
