The new steamship Hanover, the latest addition
to the large ocean reet or the North German Lloyd,
arrived at this port Friday last and Is now at the
company's pier, foot OF Third steet, Hoboken. This
vessel in sze ranks with the largest OF the line and
is stanch handsome craft, OF excellent design and
comfortable appointments. AS model OF naval
architecture she reflects considerable credit upon
her builders. The Hanover is OF iron brig rigged
and built III both hull and machinery by Messrs
Card Co., Glasgow, being launched in the month
OF May. 1862 Her length on deck Is ais feet;
breadth Of beam, as feet; depth OF hold,
SO feet, and OF 2,2eS tons burden. She
has three full decks each being feet .
inches between them. Upon these are iron plate
stringers OF large size and thickness which tend
very materially TO strengthen them. The hull OF this
steamship is OF wrought IRON plates one and seven
eighns and three quarters OF an inch In thickness,
ordinary size Her plates are double riyeted. She
is fitted with eight water-tight compartments the
bulkheads OF which are OF iron, three.quar.
teis or an inch in thickness. Watertanks placed
III the hold of the vessel capable OF holding $3.50
gallons IN all, while the apparatus for It's condensa
tion Is OF the most improved character The steer
Ing gear OF the vessel Is the Old safe plan, pos
sessing all the fittings necessary TO give 1t great
strength. Hanging IA appropriate places and pro
perry rugged are elght iron feb0ats, SUFFICIENT to
accommodate very large number OF persons.
The machinery of the Hanover IN design con-
not fancifu, but massive and Is suggestive OF speed
strength and safety. She is fitted with direct acting
engines, with Inverted cylinders 58H inches in
diameter ana stroke Of piston Of four feet. Their
effective power is equal TO 1,400 horse. Her boil
ers-two in number, with five furnaces each-are OF
the tubular description and In the generation OF
steam have given great satisfaction. The diameter
OF her propeller 10 feet while its pitch is 23 feet
Beside this machinery proper she is supplied with
independent steam fire ana blge pumps oil the larg-
est character, steam wtnches for hosting and other
purposes, and, In woro, all the fittings that an
ocean vessel requires.
The passenger accommodation OF the Hanover
is OF quite an extensive nature. There are state
rooms on the main deck, aft, capable or containing
fifty or more FIRST class passengers while 700 can be
carried in the steerage. The stater0oms are very
r00my and comfortable, as they are fitted with all
the requirements OF a popular service The cabin Is
large and very cOsey, an air OF exquisite cheerful
ness pervading 1t. The panels OF the stareroOm
doors Leading from the saloon are prettily finished
and with the appropriate Workmanship above and
below them, add much TO the general effect. The
safety and comfort OF the steerage passengers have
not been overlooked, their quarters In the matter
OF room and ventilation, which, after ali, are the
great requisites at sea, are OF superior order.
