New Erelgs1r Boats
FOR SALE.

We take pleasure IN recommending
our boats, as their construction is the
result of years of study and labor in
building, and handling boats around
our various island landings. We claim
these boats to be superior for island use
to others (either built here or imported)
i'll eyer,1 essential points, and we are
supper G lin this opinion by those who
have nseGthem, as well rs by others who
ale qualified to Judge. They are built for
use and durability, and not with the
view OF having the benefit of future re-
pairs. We use no cross grained and
useless Monkey Pod knees. timbers, or
floors, nor straight wood stems Our
frames are all o * bent across without
a joint on the keel, and of size, larger
than usual in other boats, they are also
CLOSER together, and double rivited to
the keel. with additional floors between.
We have applied both strain and blows
to these steam bent timbers and find
that they are equivalent to the so called
solid floors of twice the size, and are
consequently less liable to be severely
bilged, and are easier repaired when it
occurs. The gunwales are of Oak, and
with the outside planking are invariably
in one plank from stern to stem. The
hosting strap does not go through the
keel, cutting it away at Il vital point.
but toggled under screw-bolt fastened
dead wood, and hinged above so as to
accommodate the span of hoist. The
timbers are not cut away for water runs,
our limbers are in the keel. We have
also solid wide iron plate on the keel
and stems of the boat which have secur-
ed for these boats their well deserved
| reputation for superior build. The

our best imported boats, carrying
their width OH the thwart, and
not on the gunwale as crank boats do,
taking all the chafe and pounding
against vessels and wharf, when dis
charging. Our bent Oak knees also
carry out the requirements of the oldest
and most experienced association known
who for 20 years have spared neither
time nor money to procure the best surf
and life boats, wherever found. During
the test of 1881, feasibility in boats, was
found to be most essential. The relation
these knees bear to the jointless section

verely struck, to prevent damaging
cOncussion or any damage. can be read
ily seen. This quality cannot be found
in boats stilly held in one place, and
loose in another. Several naval Cap
tains and Officers who have inspected
this system pronounce it II great i'm
provement over the old, as II preventive
from being stove in or bilged alongside
when being lowered at sea, as many
have been known to do the short floors
and timber ends lifting from the keel.
An other Improvement, is that we sell

erly paid for this size boat here, and

We are also prepared to give plan
and estimates of all kinds of scows

ches, or schooners, lin solid, bent frame
or diagonal building. Our experience
in the latter mode dates from 1854, whel
the celebrated yachts ''Fox' and other
were built in that way, this vessel wa
severely tried in the Arctic for 3 year
under Sir j. McClintock, when il
search of Sir John Franklin. This mod
of building is highly recommended
where inside finish and capacity is a
object. We invite inspection of on
boats at the Enterprise Planning Mill
where samples may be found.
