Now a new fiat has gone forth. Let

PROBLEMS IN STEEL SHIPS.
The Building of a Cruiser Requires
Over Twelve Hundred Detail Plans.

The Building of a Cruiser Requires
Over Twelve Hundred Detail Plans.
Modern shipbuilding offers problems
which seem appalling to the average man
when presented for the first time at the
speed trial of a great battleship. The
hull of steel, longer than an ordinary city
block, weighing hundreds of tons and con-
taining dozens of boilers, scores Of en-
gines and an armament of big guns
weighing hundreds of tons more, is so
prOportiOned that it floats at just the
proper depth and balance. In fact, the
water line can be drawn with mathemat-
ical accuracy before the ship is launched.
1t happened once that royal yacht.
intended for the use of Queen Victoria,
was built without due regard to stability
and turned bottom up as it lay at the
dock. That such faulty construction is
fortunately the rare exception is due to
the scientific calculations of the naval
architect. a title which includes designers
of commerce carriers as well as men Of
war.
The wooden ship was simply an ordi-
nary boat built on an extremely large
scale, but since the introduction of steel
as a material for shipbuilding a new sci
ence has grown up, calling for the most
exhaustive calculations in regard to
weight, carrying capacity, propulsion,
speed, friction, stability and, last but not
least. cost of construction. The modern
warship is built according to detail plans.
1.20O or 1,500 Of these plans being reQui-
site for the guidance OF the builder in the
construction of the hull and engines.
The recent revival of American ship
building has created demand for naval
architects just at time when the estab-
lished naval architecture schools of Eng
land and France have closed their doors
to all foreign constructors. Fortunately
the need of American schools for the
training Of American shipbuilders has
been anticipated in the establishment OF
naval architecture courses in connection
with various schools and colleges. The
first technical work of this kind was done
at the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology in Boston. The institute. from its
location at busy seaport. is enabled to
undertake practical demonstrations and
experiments of great interest. Several
ships have been turned over to Professor
Cecil II. Peabody Of the institute for
progressive speed tests. and under his
direction the students have prepared ex
haustive papers on such subjects as the
vibrations of steamships. the stability of
a battleship under damaged conditions. a
launching experiment, a floating dock
plan. the action Of wind pressure on sails
and the stability Of the oil steamer Nav
erick.
Practical questions are constantly TAX
en- up which are directly applicable to the
advancement of the shipping interests Of
the country at large and the building Of
class Of commerce carriers uneQualed
