THE KROONLAND ALSO SAID To BE THE
LARGEST BUILT IN AMERICA

The Kroonland which is the longest steamship
ever built in the United States. and is said to
be the largest, arrived here yesterday from the
yards of her builders at Philadelphia She is
a sister ship of the Vaderland and the iceland
of the Red Star Line, and VIII ply the same
route, running between this port and Antwerp.
The fleet of the Red Star Line will be augmented
soon by a fourth ship of the dimensions.
named the Finland. The Finland was launched
at the yards of the William Cramp Ship and
Engine Building Company the day the Kroon-
land left the yards for New-York- The kroon-
land launched on February 20.
In a general way the Kroonand is built on
the same plan as the Vaderland but in appoint
ments and various conveniences it is even an
improvement the latter. The Kroonland
is $50 feet long, which is PC feet longer than
the st. Louis and the ST. Paul, and has reg
lister of $1,000 tons. or 400 tons more than the
St. Louis and the st. Paul She possesses every
approved device for the safety and comfort Of
passengers, and carries the largest improved
appliances for the protection of life. Except in
the one point Of speed the Kroonland is the
equal of the finest steamships afoat. and will
enable persons of moderate means TO enjoy all
the luxuries OF the fastest ocean greyhounds-
There are berths for 343 first class passengers,
194 second class and about 1000 third class
The arrangements for loading and discharging
cargo complete.
The engines are of quadruple expansion direct
acting and surface condensing type There are
eight single ended boilers in the ship, construct
ed of steel and adapted for working pressure
of 200 pounds to the square inch, and four fur
naces to each boiler. making thirty-two in all
These boilers are in two compartments. leading
into two tunnels, which are 9S feet high from
the CRATE level. and elliptical in plan. IL feet
8 inches by 8 feet 6 inches
If the vessel should be needed for service IN
time OF war the disposition of the bunkers
would give coal protection to the boilers. while
safety from breakdowns IS assured by the
adoption of twin screws which are fitted with
nclosed shaftings and brought close together
by the adoption of small aperture in the stern
frame.
