John n and James Stewart have invented
an apparatus for raising sunken vessels. The
idea is to put in, when the vessel is built,
one or more pairs of steel cables extending
from the keelson to the deck, between the
| timbers, with eyes at the upper end into
| Thich the wrecking-tacke may be hooked
This will do away with the necessity of
divers going under the vessel to pass cables
| around her, an operation always difficult
and sometimes impossible. A patent has
been applied for.
