W. ". Nelson's launch Togo. like the
oriental commander after whom it is
named. has defeated everything it has
gone UP against, says the Duluth
NcWs-Tribune. With only Il four horse
power engine It attains a speed Of ten
miles an hour. Il feat impossible to any
small craft in the Narbor except auto
boats.
The launch. which was designed and
built by the owner, is constructed on
the lines Of the big whaleback excur-
sion steamer christopher Columbus,
and it is the only one of it's kind in
the world. 1t is twenty-eight feet long,
five feet beam. has air tight compart-
ment> at both ends. a gasoline tank
which will carry fuel for in eighteen
days cruise and is fitted with a small
cabin in which it's passengers nay
sleep aud prepare their meals.
Mr.. Nelson. who has his own ideas
about naval architecture. has long been
an adlnirer Of the whaleback type. He
noticed that for the size Of her engines
the Christopher Columbus was consid-
erably the fastest boat on the lakes, so
be decided on an experiment, and the
Togo was the result. Its owner
declares that it is a success in every
way.
Next fall the launch will be loaded
on Il freight car and taken to st. Paul,
where it will be launched in the Mis-
sissippi river. Mr.. Nelson and his
family will install themselves in the
cozy little cabin which they will not
leave until New Orleans is reached.
