The reader is probably familiar with the
catamaran sailboat. ia which two boats are
made fast. few feet from each other, by
a framework nailed upol the top. Sails
are set upon the framework between. AMI
the double boat glides through the water
very rapidly.
The construction of the new steamboat is
somewhat similar. Ths ruling idea is to
reduce the resistance of the water as much
as posslble

The engine is placed upon deck All the
decks and other parts of the vessel are

sarily limited to two. There may be as

means of belting This is shown in Fig 2
