Frederick A, Talbot describes some
of The difficulties of building and
launching the biggest ship In the
world:
Not content with altering the
shipyard which she was built, the

usual performances on at least one

the Kingdom that would hold it prop

four miles an hour it was hauled to
the coast, while the traffic on both
tracks of the railroad WAS stopped,
Even that did not give sufficient Ice

let it pass.
