TEMPORARY OFFIcEs-85, Cannon-street West, E.O.
eliT his Company has been formed for the purpose of pur-
Et.'!'sing the freehold property known as Queen Anne's
ca'oPyard, and the valuable Shibuilding business now
$h fed on by private capitalists therein; of carrying on
-z—uilding in Iron and Wood, and of mechanical engi-
teering in all its branches.
of The Shipbuilding Yard possesses a frontage to the sea
tiPwards of 1,200 feet, in which there will be capacity
; J is, down twenty ships, taking an average of 60 feet
Width for each ship. As at present constituted, the esta-
blishment, comprises a first-class stone-built Dry Dock, 260
feet by 52 feet, in perfAt working condition, with steam
engine, circular-saw gear, smiths' shops, timber sheds, offices,
aii„ buildings, with slips, quay; and other necessary ap-
riances, all in goodrepair. On the premises there is a capital
'me kiln, four excellent dwelling-houses, suitable for, the
Eager and employes of the Company, six cottages for
oremen, &c., 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
quay; and to extend tho appliances generally, with the
'view of the construction and repair of iron and wooden
ships, the manufacturing of marine and other engine; 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 surpassed (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-
mended 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
low, 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-
salt 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 the Company will be conducted by
r* Joseph Bank; who will devote his well-known expo-
nence 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-
rrs upon terms which are considered highly advantageous,
le 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).
n the event of no allotment of Shares being made, the
!leposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of
shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be
1.010 available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance (if any) returned to the applicant.
