BIG SHIPBUILDING
THINGS DONE AT BATH
tBath Times, Oct. 2D

The first concrete ways of the Bath
Iron Works are being built between
destroyers 345 and s46 now under con-
struction. They will be the only ways
Of their type iu the country, owing to
the peculiar circumstances under
which they have to be built Between
the destroyers there is a space about
oo feet wide which is a veritable net
work Of staging and other auxiliary
construction. The new ways are to
be 40 feet wide and will lie along this
space between the destroyers, and
either side of the ways will be ten
feet from the keel of a destroyer.
This means that all Of the staging on
the inner side Of each destroyer will
have to be shored up while the ways
are being built, under it. That in
itself is gigantic task, especially in
view of the fact that the ways must
be completed by the first of the new
year. Cedric T. Reynolds. the
engineer in charge OF the work say:
although the task seems impossible,
II must be completed by the first Of
January"
At present there is wooden plat
form between the destroyers extend
ing from point near the yard rail-
way tracks TO the river. In building
the ways. use will be made of the
piles which uphold this platform.
All of them will be sawed off so that
| they will always be under water, and
! VIII therefore not rot, and the con-
crete piers will be constructed on top
or them by means of Golfer dams
The dams will serve a double purpose,
that OF keeping out the water as the
concrete is poured into them, and
also OF moulds for the concrete piers
1t is estimated that in addition to the
old piles 225 new ones will have to be
driven. Most Of these will be put in
at the water end of the ways.
The length of the concrete structure
will be 420 feet, and in building it. 1900
yards Of concrete. $1,000 pounds Of
steel roenforcements, 1900 tons Of
crushed rock. 500 tons of sand and
5000 bags of cement will be used. The
crushed rock is sent from North Jay
at the rate Of a carload a day.
Although the new ways were built
primarily to receive the keel of the
giant cargo carrier. the latest con-
tract Of the Iron Works: they will be
a permanent asset to the yard. They
are located in the same relative posi-
tion as were the ways on which the
battleship Georgia was built in 1906.
Next to the Georgia. the cargo car
rier will be the largest vessel ever
constructed at the Iron Works, and
the first to leave the Iron Works
first concrete ways.
This ship will be built for Crowell
and Thurlow of Boston and will be n
sister ship to the Felix Taussig
built in 1915 at Newport News. Va.
Her dimensions will be 40 feet long
% feet beam, 34 feet six inches deep.
Her deadweight capacity will be $50,
tons and she will have a displacement
Of 14.oo0 tons.
