Tue HistorS and Pate or the Famous old Great
Britain-Now n Coal Hulk.
The wonderfully rapid development OF the
modern twin.screw ocean grcyhounds makes the
fate and history OF the first screw steamer that
crossed the ocean peculiarly interesting. EN-.
ployed asa hulk In Fort Stanley. Falkland Is.
lands. is all that Is left Of the steamship Great
Britain. which arrived IN New York on Aug. 10.
lS45. on her maiden "trip from Liverpool, making
the passage from port to port in fifteen days.
The Great Britain WAS built Of iron, and was
launched in Bristol in July. ls43. The driving
power was an Archimedean screw of six blades.
with a iameter OF Is feet q inches. The screw
was driven by chain gearing on the shaft. and
the engines developed ! 500 horse power. Steam
was supplied by three tubeless boilers. at a pres
sure OF % pounds. The principal dimensions Of
the vessel were: Length, 322 feet: beam. 4S
feet; depth, 81 feet q inches. and her tonnage
was 1910. In those days sail power was very
necessary as an aid to steam, and. with only one
funnel, the Great Britain was originally fitted
with ak masts. all Of them. except the main,
being forc-and-aft rugged.
BY n singular oversight she was launched into
@ dock. the entrance to which would not permit
tho then great snip to pass out, so that she was
kept in compulsory !dlencss for over n year,
when one side OF the Goc!; entrance was removed
and the shin liberated. On her third voyage To
NcT York she ran ashore on the coast or ireland
and remained fast n year. hui. rccciving little
damage. was repaired, and resumed her trans.
atlantic passages until 1853. She was then sup.
piled with now engines and entirely changed
into . t2ur,masted bark. After this change
