RUSH WORK AT DRY DOCK
ON STATES new YACHT

Work Is being rushed at the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock on the re-
fitting of the yacht, Edithia, which
has been given to the state of New
Jersey by the United States govern
ment so that it may soon be ready
for its duties as an inspection ship
for the 5000 miles of tide water
In other words there is as much
tide water belonging to this state as
there is miles across the Atlantic
ocean.
The Edithia, which was formerly
the Hanan Yacht, was taken by the
government during the war and saw
considerable service. Since the war
the vessel was turned over to the
state of New Jersey and has been
renamed the w. Parker Runyon,
and will be used by the State Board
of Commerce and Navigation for
the inspection of water ways. The
vessel is ninety-nine feet long and
has a fourteen foot beam. 1t is sea
worthy and will be often required
to run from Sandy Hook to the
Delaware capes and up the Della
war bay and river.
When it was decided to give New
Jersey a vessel Mr. Runyon picked
the Edithia as the most valuable
boat to the state as it draws but
four feet of water and for this rea-
son can navigate many of the shall
low brooks and rivers at high tide
which with a larger vessel it would
be impossible to inspect.
The yacht has two gasoline en-
gines of IT'S horsepower each, has
a storage capacity for 1900 gallons
OF gasoline and 5000 gallons of
water. There are seven berths in
the staterooms and upon an emer-
gency twenty people can sleep on
the vessel. There is also a salon.
gally. bathroom and every conven-
fence to be found on the vessel. An
auxiliary engine furnishes air pres
sure, and electric lights and a hot
water boiler furnishes heat for the
vessel so that 1t may be operated
in all seasons.
Mr.. Runyon is now arranging for
the installation of a wireless outfit
on board the craft with telephone
connections SO that those using the
vessel may at all time be in close
touch with the land.
