Built in 1890 at Moulmain, by the
old pagOda looking eastward to the
sea" the Success is now one hundred
and twenty-three years old. No ship
Of anything like her great age today
is seawOrthy. yet this old hulk under
her own sail has succeeded in cross
ing the Atlantic. although its time OF
SO days created no new record.
Massively built throughout of solid
Burman teak the Success was first
launched as an armed East Indian
merchantmen, with beautiful brass
guns bristling from its sides. II was
fitted handsomely for the reception
OF princes, nabobs, and the wealthy
traders OF the Orient, whose goods,
spices. aromatic teas, worries, jewels,
and other costly Injuries ii carried
over the seven seas. Its tonnage is
$50, and II is 1876 feet long and 20
feet beam.
Its solid sides are two feet six
inches thick at the bilge, and the keel
son is a solid teak bauik of tremen-
dOus thickness, with sister keelsons
little less massive. The square cut
stern and quarter galleries at once
stamp the ship with the hallmark of
antiquity, and its bluff bow shows that
it could never have distinguished it
self for a high rate of speed. Yet
pains were taken to make it trim and
smart, and fit to hold a leading place
among its sister ships of the Anglo
Indian fleet
Broken only by an occasional con-
flict with pirate craft, the Success
had an hOnored life on the ocean until
1902, when it was first chartered by
the British government to transport
to Australia the overflow of the home
jails, the unfortunate wretches who
At that time were sentenced to from
seven years to the term Of natural
life for offenses that would now be
considered trivial and petty, warrant
ing at most but a small fine.
Some of the greatest writer's of the
nineteenth century devoted their pens
to horror-compelling descriptions of
the voyages of the felon-feet, of
which the Success was in its day the
principal devil ship"
