"The problem of constructing

on the multiplication of water

Watts, chief naval constructor
for the British government; and
probably the most eminent ma

I Il hold" he added, that it is
possible SO to subdivide a ship

This plan has stood the test of

and means to provide for everything
necessary.
The question as to wether international
regulation OF the passenger steamship
