New Freight Boats
EOR GAIE

We take pleasure ~ recommending
our boats, as their construction Is The
resul of years of study aud labor in
building. and handling boats around
our various island landings. We claim
these boats to be superior for SLAM use
to others (eilher built here or mported)
in ever ! essential points, aud we are
supper ciin this opinion by those who
have usedthem, as well as by others who
are 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, iimbers, or
floors, nor straight wood stems Our
frames are all Ok bent across without
q joint on the keel, aud of q 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 tiinbers 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 1t
occurs. The gunwales are of Oak, and
with the outside plnnking are invariably
in one plank from stern to stem. The
hoisting strap does not go through the
keel, cutting Ii away ut a vital point,
but toggled under u 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
model also compares favorahly with
our best imported boats, carrying
their width on the thwart, and
not on the gunwale as crank boats do,
tking 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 procurc the best surf
| and life boats, wherever found. During
| the test of 1881, fleXibility in boats. was
found to be most essential, The rela ion
| these knees bear to the jointless section
| timbers and to the boat herself when Sc
| verely struck, 10 prevent Il damaging
concussion or any damage, can be read-
| lily seen. This quality cannot be found
| in boats sttfly held in one place, and
| loose in another. Several naval Cap
tains and Officers who have inspected
this system pronounce it a great inn
provement over the old, as 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 Improvements is that we sell
these boats for $50 less than was form
erly paid for this size boat here, and
| it pays the builder and buyer better. "a.
We have on hanu two "a feet freight
boats, price $3.50 to $3.50,

sloop REFORM all complete for pleas
ure or fishing, with hooks, lines, water
kegs, oars and rowlocks, anchor and
chains, extra sails, an oil stove, and a
little fat boat, that can bt carried on
deck. This is speedy little craft, and
works second to none in our waters.
She was built for pleasure with safety,
to sail on her bottom, without packing
around tons of ballast. Can be rugged
and sail made in Is minutes, and unrig-
ged in five. Price 1915.
We are also prepared to give plans
and estimates of all kinds of scows,
rowing, surf or sail boats, steam laun-
ches, or schooners, in solid, bent frame,
OF diagonal building. Our experience
in the latter mode dates from 1854, when
the celebrated yachts ''Fox" and others
were built in that way, this vessel was
severely tried in the Arctic for years
under Sir j.. McClintock, when in
search of Sir John Franklin. This mode
of building is highly recommended
where inside finish and capacity is ar
object. We invite inspection of oul
boats at the Enterprise Planning Mill
where samples may he found,
