PROSPECTUS.
The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the
veil-known and sncc,,,ssi ul business carried on by the Thames
ron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black-

The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company
Limited), was established in the year 1857, and has now
Lttained the foremost position in the construction of vessels
if war and ships of the highest class for the commercial
narine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour
dates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg-
ngs and castings of the largest class for marine engines,
widges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam
iammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, ite., are all of
he beat class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming
ogether an establishment unequalled.
Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy
—the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur—have been built by
,he Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been
'eceived for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian,
ipanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course
if construction.

It has been determined to add to the existing business of
he Company two other lucrative branches, name'y, Graving
)ocka and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially
;onnected with its present operations. For this purpose, as
veil as for the large and increasing business of the Com-
,any, a considerable extension of capital will be required as
he works advance ' • and in order to carry out the objects in
'few, it is proposed to transfer to the new Comnany (subject
o payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of
he valuable contracts, assets, goodwill, and effects of the
Charnea Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities
nd engazements, as from the Ist of January, 1864, in coned-
leration of the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company
if the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that
3ompany will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and
:125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest
tt per cent. per annum.
The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of
reehold tandem the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black-
veil, and the premises and branch works known as the
'hcenix Iron Works Millwall, together with the valuable
dant and works.
It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re-
elving ships of the largest class, for which the accommod4•
:ion on the Rive, Thames is at pr e sent insufficient. For this
?'"rose it is intended to purchase eight acres of freeho'd
Bflov ,immediately adjoining the works, having a frontage both
Creek_ and the River Thames, which I,nd is, at pre-
