Construction of Iron Ocean Steamers.

The first vessel was launched in 1917,
and is still in existence. But not till 1872
did the work seriously begin. At that
time the Lloyds began TO build small iron
steamers for short voyages. 4 certain
amount Of prejudice had to he overcome,
for there We're many doubts as to its
strength and buOyancy. But it made it,
way, and the first successful iron steamer
made transatlantic voyage in Is+3, the
Great Britain, launched by the Great
Western company In those days the
Great Britain was rated as an unusually
large sized ship 1t was ship of 3,UOC
tons burden, and was an iron screw
steamer combining the new methods of
propulsion ami construction. The voyage
was successful, and the ship is still in ex-
istence, and till within few years ran 10
Australia.
Her success led to imitation in the
English marine, and in 1850 the Inman
line was esta blished between Liverpool
and New \ IOrk of iron screw steamers. 1t
had no profitable mail contract, and was
purely commercial undertaking, but
under skllltul management has been very
successful. In the United STATES iron ship
building has never taken root the way it
has III England Americans began early
TO build small iron steamers, and do now,
but only for cOastlng lines. We only use
iron i'll cases where We are entirely cut off
from competition. or where we are driven
to it, as il is impossible TO use wood for
much of the CUaSting service. detroit
