PROS PE .
The o.)ject of this Company isCT
topurchase and extend the
Well-kriown and t•ucc ,sst ul business carried on by the Thames
Iron Ifforks and Ship-building Company (Limited!, at Black-
wall..

;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 fbr these vessels, and for their armour
plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg-
ings and castings of the largest class for marine engines,
bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam
hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &c., 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 Compmy two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving
Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially
connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as
well as for the lirtge and increasing business of the Com-
pany, a considerr.ble extension of capital will be required as
the works advarAce ; and in order to carry out the objects in
view, it is prop osed 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 Ist of January, 1864, in consi-
deration 2f the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company
of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that
Company wi'tl 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 lan d on the Essex aide of the River Lea, next Black-
wall, and the premises and branch works known as the
Phoenix Iron Works, Miliwall, together with the valuable
plant and works.

- It itiWoPOeecft,3 const'uct two graving docks capablr of re-
ceiving ships of the la best class, for which the accommoda-
tion on the Rive,,- Thames is at p: event insufficient. For this
purpose it is i,ntended to purchase eight acres of freeho d
land immedisloy adjoining the works, 11vin, a frontage both
to Bow Creek and toe River Thames, whiclil nd is, at pre-
sent, in the. occupation of the Company, with the optiun 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 admir:.ble situa-
tion constant and 'remunerative employment for repairs,
both of ships and engines, wi 1 be founrl.
The existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com-
pan7, which will be transferred tit th: new Comp •ny, amount
LO -upwards of a mil ion bud a qua: te sterling findekendently
of the work in hand for the loge and rolling mi 11...), and have
.all been taken on such terms an fairy to justify the anticipa-
tion of the same I rofitab e results which have alrotely at-
tended the Co a pany's operations.
All the Director, of the old Company will retain their in-
terest in the no, Company, and their seats at its Board, and
the management wi I remain in the same experienced hands
which have hitherto conducted it so successfuhy, and ratted
it to its present state of prosperity.
