Company is established for the purpose of building Ships,
9s„"nrri Vessels, Colliers, Barges, Keels, and Canal Craft, with
th'rY other description of Vessel, more especially by adopting
ker'ein the following improvements set forth in the specification of
let Drake's Patent. Comprising—
sei," • A new system for the building of every description of yes-
Ca 2 with circular bottoms ; and of Barges, Keels, and River and
nal Craft, with flat bottoms.
il„tshe principal advantages are,- superior strength, elasticity, light-
in di and economy ; thirty-five per cent., at the least, being saved
in vessels with circula bottoms, and upwards of ten per cent.
11°3e with flat bottoms, beyond the usual profits.
4i,„:` °blend economy and simplicity with utility has been the object
at in these improvements. A considerable saving in the
1)110,„tity and value of the material used—the production of a more
tniiiant and more strongly constructed vessel, carrying a greater
ciarn:n with a smaller draught of water, and with less danger of
talk ge by collision, er of swamping (in open vessels), than those
em2,i the common mode—are new and most important features,
licrally in the construction of River and Canal Craft.
of yes The Dove-tailed Treenail. Applicable to every description
Ills° in which Treenails are used.
'tree es are greatly superior to the ordinary parallel cylindrical
tlirilinkd now in use, in holding—in not being liable to dec.!ay by
shrinking—and in facility of removal for the purpose of repairs.
kr th ho Wood-Screw Fastening. Applicable to the decks, and
1,,e general building of every class of vessel.
faelit',ese are greatly superior in durability, lightness,
.economy, and
less !LY of repairing,- to the metal fastenings hitherto in use. Ano
vial ,IT''Porta'nt feature in the Wood Screw-fastening is, that diago-
t'ecks (with two thicknesses), discontinued on account of the
do fastenings, may be revived with advantage by the introdue-
tits of this new fastening : these decks possessing the advantages
,i,llrior strength and lightness over the ordinary decks. .
ttne his fastening further opens a business of considerable imnort-
e' bein available in house-flooring, ar.d as a general arcliitee-
f t g
Tl.s ening.
",'s Company OSSeSSC3 the exclusive right of building under.
"ralc.%; Paient and _of otherwise carrying out the above nn-
Av,"lents in Engiann, aies,'anu at
i of granting Licenses for the like purposes to Companies and
I,ith nuals ; a source from which a large income may be realised
any risk or outlay.
Dos;- nwportant and very obvious advantage which this Company
also es arises from the quick return of the capital employed. ; as
11 the command of that capital, which ensures economy in the
Ilase and conversion of materials.
1) e Shipping interest of England is so much blended witht her
15'41)„efitY, that any undertaking like the present, tending im.-t
tie - "lat interest, cannot fail to afford to those embarking in
ample remuneration.
b lila': regards that part of the Patent which applies to the general
alinotng of Ships and other Vessels, it must be seen that capital to
et any amount may be employed to great advantage.
ti tien under the present system pursued in building, a Company
d vide extent proposed would derive a much greater profit than in-
8, builders ; therefore, when the advantages of the Patent
Pro also taken into consideration, it must be admitted that few
Psets sals hare ever been brought before the public offering pro?-
Whiebe,f,greater, if of equal importance and safety, to the one in
Tey are now invited to join.
t'si,'lo.l-hrectors have entered into arrangements which secure to
B!rvi,_rnPany the exclusive Patent Right, and also the valuable
vti,„ 3 of the Patentee as Naval Architect, upon terms highly ad-
-1,75e0us to the Shareholders.
