AEN EQUIPMENT
DESTINED 70 :
sAVElH

II is most interesting poin. and
illustrative Uf! the thoroughly up-to-
date character of the equipment o. the
liner Missanabie, the latest addition
TO the G. p. r. Atlantic service, THAT
she Is the first vessel in the world
fitted with the Babcox and Wilcox
Wylie adavfts. by means of which all
HE ships boats can be launched from
either side of the vessel
The Missanaoie carries sufficient
liteboats to accommodate all on board.
In addition to the string OF Fifeboats
carried on the port and starboard
sides. there are four nests of lifcboats,
comprising Is boats in all, fitted on a
platform on an after deck, covering
the full width Of the ship. No one
can fail to be impressed with the ar
ray of ffeboats on the top deck
The new invention enables the crew
to launch the boats in safety, even
though the ship should have a heavy
list A tramway runs across the deck
so that the boats can be readily shift
ed from one side of the ship to the
other. The Missanabie has just COM
pleted her second voyage from Liver
pool TO Montreal, and she is proving
10 be a great attraction. When the
Missanabie arrived in Montreal the
decision reached by those who visited
her was that she was too good for
the one-class cabin service" This,
however. Is not the opinion of the G.
P R., for it has always been the policy
of the company to set high standard.
The chief innovation made in this
steamship is the breaking away from
the old hide-bcund traditions of naval
architecture which insisted on making
the interior OF ship lock like the
of a ship and nothing more.
The interior of the Missanabie is fur.
aished to resemble a home, and every
luxury usually found on thfee-class
ships only Is found On the Missanabie.
The vessel is fitted with watertight
bulkhead doors that are electrically
operated from the bridge, and the ship
is capable of floating in a sea-way
though three compartments should be
Hooded. This is in excess of the board
