ANDREW SMITH'S PATENT WIRE ROPE, FOR
STANDING RIGGING.
THE notice of Shipowners, Shipmasters, and others, is
respectfully requested to the following testimonials of
the superiority of the above Rope over Hempen Cordage.
The Patentee, in consequence of his Rope coming greatly
into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per
cwt. to 60s. per cwt., making it fully 30 per Cent. cheaper
than Hemp Rope.

• " London, Dec. 16, 1839.
" Sru,—l have much pleasure in giving my fullest -appro-
val of the excellency of your Wire Rigging, of which I judge
from experience. The Steam-ship Liverpool, under my
command six voyages to New York and back, during which
period the Ship experienced much severe weather, the Wire
Rigging stood admirably, and in no instance failed.
I would recommend your Rigging being set up with
Dead Eyes and Rope Lanyards, and to go over the Mast-
heads in the usual manner.

" Your very obedient servant,

" GENTLEMEN,—As Captain and Owner of the Marshall
Schooner, I have much pleasure in stating, that Mr. Andrew
Smith's Patent Wire Rope has been used on, board my Ves-
sel for Stays, Shrouds, Tompast Rigging, Jib Guys, Martin-
gale Stays, Bowsprit Shrouds, &c., for upwards of five years,
and in no instance has it failed. On stripping the Foremast
Rigging, after experiencing very severe weather in the North
Seas, and elsewhere, during the above time, I am proud to
say that the Patent Wire Rope was as perfect as the' first
day it was made ; and, so confident am I of its advantages
over Hemp Rigging, that I shall not only adopt it in all ves-
sels that 1 am connected with, but consider it my duty to
the Patentee, and also my Brother Owners and Commanders,
to recommend it generally for their adoption.
" I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
" Sincerely your wellwisher,
" THOMAS MARSHALL.

" City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company,
" Office, 24, Water-street, Liverpool, April 21, 1841.
" GENTLEMEN In reply to your letter of this morning,
I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope
for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on hoard
of this Company's new Steamer the Erin-yo-Brayk, and
which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of
its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging
of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Oriental, and
Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when
first put on board those Steamers ; and, as regards the two
first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the
Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. 1
find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for
awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when well set up,
and does n ot give to the lashings.
" I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
"JAMES C. SHAW.

" Liverpool, 17th 111 1841.
" GENTLEMEN, In reply to your inquiry I bega- to state,
'for the information of Mr. Smith, thato in
najoneutyhwelnaBs3l9 fittedth e
.schooner Eglinton, of Ayr, under mygc.
with Mr. Smith's Patent Wire Riggin have
been constantly trading between this port and Ayr, carrying
cargoes of pig
iron and lead, which are very trying to Rig-
ging, during all seasons, and frequently in bad weather; and
lave much pleasure in stating, that the Patent Wire Rig-
sing has stood most admirably, in all respects equal to my
most sanguine expectations. I can, therefore, with truth
testify, that the Patent Wire Rope is infinitely superior to
Hempen, from its greater strength, lightness, durability,
and cheapness ' • and I shall at all times, from experience,
prefer it. The tonnage of the Eglinton is 100, old measure-
ment ; and the Standing Rigging weighs 4cwt. 3qrs. 201 b.

" Liverpool, 15th May, 1841.
GENTLEMEN,—At the request of the Patentee, Mr.
'Smith, I beg to state for his information, that the Patent
Wire Rigging fitted to the iron ship John Garrow, of 711
tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England
to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was
tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel-
lent condition ; so much so, that I do not consider it neces-
sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has
performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite
to do so.

" I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its
great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen Cordage,
being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the
latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have
experienced! much more durable. The John Garrott,'
Lower Rigging is only 3 inch Patent Wire Rope; whereas,
had it been Hemp, Eit inch would have been required.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours truly,
" F. WILSON.
