An Old But Comfortable ship.
Those who look for the newest type Of
warship In the German navy will not find
it in the Moltke- She is an iron hull ship
sheathed with wood and copper from keel
70 deep-water loadIine. and in appearance
IS like the wooden walls OF the com
Portable corvettes OF the old navy. She
has a rOOmy gun deck. and her berth deck
IS also comfortable. as eEemplifed I'm the
old wooden frigates and COTvettes.
Above all this evidence OF having been
built aJ least a quarter or a century ago
the idea IS more pronounced in the three
masts rugged TO topgsllant sails. but a lit
tie out OF the old style by having double
topsail yards. Every yard a. she entered
the harbor was square by the lifts and
braces. and the bunt gaskets were as
neatly slowed as II the ship had been
prepared for the inspection Of the admiral
Of the feet. Throughout she is as clean
rs a parlor. and the appearance or the Of
fcers and men was In harmony with the
bright paintwork and metals that shone
everywhere.
This fine old ship was built ~ Dantzig,
Germany. IN 1876. for the use Of the naval
cadets entering the Royal Navy School At
Kiel. Every attention was paid TO detail
for the comfort Of the cadets and officers
But she has performed a dual work. With
the cadets who are being educated for
future admirals In the Ea.ser's navy
there has leen combined he teaching Of
