IMMATURE WARSHIPs.
A T01 Fleet Built by a Maine Boy
Who L. = Genius In Their
Construction.

Some years ago George b. Moody. OF
Bangor. began TO be interested in
things of the sea. He now own a feet
of wooden ships such as probably does
not exist elsewhere in the world.
These war vessels are built upon the
proper principles of naval science.
They are bout five feet in length on an
average, the battleships Being shorter.
Away up in the garret of fine old
fashion, home the boy has spent days
upon da Of confning labor. First he
draws the plans of the ship, designing
each frame and timber, and finally
drawing a working schedule of her
parts. This he prints photographically
in blue. as the regular architects do.
and hangs it on the wal of his shop.
Then comes the putting together Of
the craft. Timbers are cut from small
sticks of pine and spruce, with cedar
for the thinner parts. and the hull is
gradually nodded into form on lines
that would satisfy the taste of the
most particular constructor of Uncle
Sans corps. AT first the ships would
not sit trim in the water. Small waves
would keel them over ANONYMOUSLY.
Notifications were necessary, and
were made after careful study with
| models lowed astern of rowed boats in
| the Penob bscot river.
| All OF his ships are fitted with water
tight compartments-actua tight
| they are, too, and with decks and in
terror fittings. The guns are Of brass
and can be fred, though of course they
are muzzle-loading. There are anchors
fit to hold the craft in the heaviest
blow, revolving tnrrets, metal gun
| shields, compasses, windlasses, ammu'
| nition hoists and tackle for working
the practical cranes, with which tiny
and correctly designed steam Launches
are taken inboard from the side.
The cruisers are lightly built. with
out armor, but the battleships are ar
mored with block tin, carefully fitted
and proof against the attacks of small
shot. There are fighting tops fitte'
with tiny machine guns, conninl
towers, flying bridges and everything
else to be seen on the proper warshiI
all built securely and with . view t
actual use.
