oha._3 uompany has been formed for the purpose of pur-s
IshfZug the freehold property known as Queen Anne'
carrLY,,ard, and the valuable Shipbuilding business now
Shiii-„;,°,n by private capitalists therein ; of carrying on
bao,.;_` ""uing in Iron and Wood, and of mechanical engi-
rou,_ g in all its branches.
of "us Shipbuilding Yard possesses a frontage to the sea
fo IPwards of 1,200 feet, in which there will be capacity
In Ying down twenty ships, taking an average of 60 feet
buswidth for each ship. As at present constituted, the esta-
feethraent comprises a first-class stone-built Dry Dock, 260
ohms
52 feet, in perfect working condition, with steam
-8-ine, circular-saw gear, smiths' shops, timber sheds, offices,
and buildings, with fir. On
and other necswssary N:l7
,;all", all in goodrepair. On the premises there is a capital
,ius kiln, four excellent dwelling-houses, suitable for the
razager and employs of the Company, six cottages for
creme-a, dm., a good. supply of fresh water, and an abund-
ance of lime and building stone.
It is proposed to lengthen the present dry dock 50 feet,
to construct two additional dry docks and one large float-
ing dock, to be divided by caissons ; also additional frontage
quays, and to extend the appliances generally, with the
View of the construction and repair of iron and wooden
ships, the manufacturing of marine and other engines,
armour and other plate, angle iron, and every description
of iron work.
For the purposes of the Company the position of the
premises is not to be suypassed(as will be seen by the plan) ;
they are in close proximity to Sutton Harbour, forming
the seaboard of Catwater anchorage, and are completely
sheltered; first by. the Plymouth Breakwater, and next
by'the peninsula of Mount Batten, in addition to which
the approaches to the premises are completely com-
manded by the guns of the citadel. The Branch Station
of the South Devon Railway Company is situated in the
immediate vicinity, and her Majesty's Dockyard, Devon-
Port, is within an easy distance.
This Company will offer unusual facilities for carrying
On the proposed business in consequence of both labour
and the freight of iron, coal, and timber being extremely
"v, added to which much expense will be saved, as the
materials will be delivered on the quays of the Company
free of all dues and charges.
At present there are no Iron Shipbuilding Works at
Plymouth, and much inconvenience and expense often re-
sult to shipowners in consequence of vessels outward
bound having to put back to London for repair.
The Directors consider it unnecessary to allude to the
other advantages possessed by this Company, further than
to state that there is a great and growing demand for such
works as they propose to carry on.
The operations of tho Company will bo conducted by
Mr. Joseph Banks, who will devote his well-known expe-
lience exclusively to the interests of the Company, aided
by gentlemen of acknowledged mechanical skill. As the
whole of the valuable property has been ceded to the Direc-
tors upon terms which are considered highly advantag eous'
the profitable result of the undertaking may be
deemed as
assured.
Interest at the rate of £6 per cent. is guaranteed for three
Years by the International Contract Company (Limited).
In the event of no allotment of Shares being made, the
deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of
Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be
read() available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance (if any) returned to the applicant.
A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association
can be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors, Brokers,
and 85, Cannon-street West.
, Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may
be obtained at the Offices of the International Contract
,pany, 85, Cannon-street, West ; and of the Bankers,
15rokers, and Solicitors.
