REPAIRED HERE
u. S. Merchant Marine Ship
civilian Penn" Leaves
Local Dry Docks

The American merchant marine
motorship William Penn, the prop
erty of the United States Shipping
Board, left this city today after hav-
ing been hauled on the new dock OF
the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company
having it's bottom painted and un-
dergoing other minor work.
The ship which is the first of its
kind to be built for the United States
merchant marine, arrived here Mon
day morning and was Immediately
locked and the necessary work on
her started. Today the ship left for
Clifton s. l., where it will take on
its first cargo which is consigned to
Java and the Far East. Captain j.
A. Mech is in command of the ves-
sci.
The length of the William Penn
is ASS feet over all. The length per-
pendicular is 439 feet, six inches;
bridge sixty feet; depth nodded.
thirty-eight feet; gross tons. S,16S;
net tons. 5, PA; dead weight. carry
ing capacity, 1873; official number.
BOOSTS; draft light forward, eight
feet, ten inches; draft light aft. four
teen feet nine inches; draf for
ward when loaded, twenty-five feet;
draft aft when loaded, twenty-eight
feet, four and three-tourths inches.
From the above figures some idea
can be had of the size of the vessel
which has just visited the local ship
yard. The propelling machinery con-
sists of four Burmeister and Vain
Disel Oil engines. which have an in
dictated horse power of 100 and pro-
pei the ship at twelve and one half
knots. The high fuel economy of
these engines is their most import
ant feature. In the trials 1t was
shown they will consume less than
half the fuel required by steam en-
gines of corresponding horse power.
In addition, the William Penn's
winches and w~indlasses are operated
by Westinghouse electric motors in
stead of steam engines. These mo-
tors have been especially designed
to withstand all sorts OF weather con-
ditions and it is estimated that they
can be operated with one-tenth the
fuel needed by dunkey engines.
The ship has been allocated by the
Shipping Board to the United Amer
lean Lines of Nc. 80 Broadway, New
York.
This is the largest ship to date that
has been hauled on the recently com
pleted dock at the plant of the Perth
Amboy Dry Dock Company. The
operation of raising the ship and
dock from the water took but thirty
minutes. The dock is electrically OPP
Grated throughout and this made
possible the rapid haul. With the
usual steam operated docks a haul
of this kind would have taken a per-
iod of one hour. The new dock
which was built under the personal
direction of William j. Rankin of the
local company. is meeting all the ex-
pectations of the Perth Amboy Dry
Dock Company.
