PROSPECTUS,

The above-named Company is established for the purpose
of acquiring the valuable business founded and organised by
the late Mr. S. F. Somes, in cur junction w,th his brother, the
late Mr. Joseph Somcs, M.P., and continued and further de-
veloped by Messrs. r,omes Brothers, the present Vendors.
The undeniable success of shipowners of established re-
putation affords am, le proof that, as an investment, shipping
property, well managed, is highly profitable, and the large
fortunes accumulated by the late Mr. Joseph Somes,
Thomas Ward, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, Mr. Richard Green, and
others, amply confirm this statement.
The importance of commencing this Company's operations
with an established business of more than ordinary repute
is felt to be considerab.e.

With this object the Directors have arranged to purchase
the fine fleet of modern- bulit ships belonging to the eminent
firm of Messrs. Somes Brothers, together with their valuable
and commodious Graving Docks on the Thames, known as
the Canal Dockyard, Poplar, and the valuable plant of every
description attached thereto.
This fleet, numbering is vessels, comprises ships bit It of
wood and iron, many being upwards of 1,000 tons register, the
whole of which are now in active and remunerative employ-
ment in the East India, China, and Australian trades. They
are highly adapted for the conveyance of troops and for tran-
sport service, and have been so employed by the Government
when required, and they bear a high ieputation in the mer-
cantile marine of this country.
The following* detailed list gives the names, tonnage, and
character of each Ship, viz.:—
