even more important revolution will be
created by the introduction of aluminium.
At present there are in existence but i've
small crafts constructed of this metal,
Three are petroleum yachts, which were
built this year at Zurich. One is Swedish
lifeboas. The iftn is yacht which is now
completing for sea in this country.
Until two or three years ago the high
price of aluminium entirely barred the way
TO its general usefulness, but the metal has
since become much cheaper, and to the
shipbuilder it offers so many striking ad-
vantages that even at the comparatively
high price which is still charged for it, It is
sure OF general adoption. In strength and
toughness it rivals steel; in non-liability TO
corrosiOn it Is almost as good as gold. and
in Iightness it stands altogether alone Nor
is this all. The hull of an old iron shin.
when sold to be broken up, goes for nearly
nothing. The hull OF an old aluminium
ship would, il Is estimated, If disposed of as
worn out metal, fetch nearly two-thirds of
its original cost This is a consideration
which capitalists and investors are not
likely to lose sight of.
To the naval constructor aluminium
comes, of course, as precisely the material
OF which he is mostly in need. His great
problem of late years has been TO reduce to
the lowest possible dimensions what may be
called the inevitable weights of his vessels
1t is computed that by using aluminium
instead Of steel he may. without sacrifice of
strength. reduce the weight of a ships hull
by fully one-half.
