1aE CITY oF NEW YoRK.

The most important feature of The CITY
OF New York, . a icnisnln. is her ,.-,
She Is the largest vessel ever built t0rna-.en-
ger traffic. exran- the in starred Great
Eastern. her gross register being fully 20lO
tons create. liam tn1t II any vessel u1wilv-
ing between the continents. Her hu-th over
all Is $50 l-et, breadth 65' and her Gerth.
from the Top ot the upper decl. cabin 10 the
bottom Of the keel, - feet. Her cross
tonnage is 1850, and her engines were built
u supply horse power OF 5000
10 the seaman her most important pecu.
llarity consists in tho fact that Size /, fur
nished with twin screws AMI double Sc, Il
engines. This is q bold experiment. Co mala
on so granl q scale IL is true that twin
screws have been used on smaller vessels
with gratifying success-notably in the case
OF the new steamer lately put in harbor scr.
wee between Pier s. Men Yor., CITY. and
sandy BOOK. But when i, was decided To
adapt ihe twin screw principle % lar-, ocean
going craft, there were not lacking plenty
OF people who declared that with 80 llr-o !,
ship the screws would u,utralize e,c1 ofbo-
They would produce IN unpleasant motion.
etc.
Another important feature OF tho CITY Of
New York is the fact tiat in her c1usr,.r..
t!on the w.tartisht bulkhcld principle has
been carried q the las. conclu ion. Tbore
are eighteen of tle,c bll.,heads. and tIov
separate tA' s-ip absolutely into a3 many
different compartments, there being ~ doors
or passaseways % any kind be.au-l tl,
compartments below tine level Of tAc upncr
deck. II win De remembered that Nh. ,.-.l.
me OF the Oregon, the big Cunarl s.ean.-
That iounderei oT the Atlauti. coast q f.c.
Years ago, was caused by the fact that tb,
door IN one OF the bulsheads was oneD. and
OWING 10 an accumulation OF coal dust in the
ways could not De closed in tine % prevent
the whole steamer filling shortly after the
leak following the collision.
Besides the twin screws and tho ei.hfoo,
perfect buikheads, the City OF New Yorl;
mas a double bottom and five decks. each
deck containing 5000 square feet. She can
accommodate over 20OO persons. Quarter,
Tor hTst class passengers are furnished amid.
ships, second class passengers between the
center and the stern, and immigrants in tho
