RECEPT|ONAWAHS
new GIANT Liner
Majestic Nears Sandy Hook
on Maiden Voyage Across
Atlantic.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 16.-The Majestic.
worlds largest ship, was rolling down
from Nantucket to Sandy Hook today
on the last lap Of her maiden voyage
across the Atlantic. Shortly after day.
break all arrangements had been made
to give the new empress Of the seas a
triumphant entry to the harbor.
Three White Star tugs. carrying
White Star Hne of5icials, the police
boat John F.. Hylan, with band, a
United States Shipping Board tug and
to go down to quarantine to give the
giant craft a fitting welcome.
The Majestic. which is of $4,000 tons
displacement, is not only the largest but
probably the speediest passenger ship
now afloat. She has a record Of twen-
ty-five knots an hour. and her engines
are still stiff. When they timber up
her officers and officials of the line be-
lieve she will make at least four more
knots. and during her summer runs
eclipse the Transatlantic record now
held by the Mauretania.
Two Giants May Race.
Probably the first week in August,
when the Mauretania Is coming this
way and the Majestic is Europe
bound, the two giants will race. BY
that time, officers of the Majestic say.
her great oil burner and her eight NAM
moth turbines, each weighing 375
tons. will drive the Majestic at top
speed somewhere in the vicinity OF
twenty-eight knots an hour.
The Majestic, even as German
ship before the war, never made
passenger voyage. She was built In
Germany as the Bismarck. laid up in
Hamburg during the war, and then
sold to England by the -reparations
commission. She was then converted
to an oil burner. made more luxurious
and named the Majestic.
Loaded as she was today, the Ma
jestic weighed close to $4,000 tons.
With the passengers, crew. oil. stores.
supplies. baggage and mail. she be-
Atlantic service.
Room for 400 Aboard.
The liner can accommodate 400
passengers-more than the largest
hotel in New York can put up COM
fortably over night There are 1.245
staterooms. Az of which are first
class, most of them being at least as
luxurious as the rooms in the most
exclusive hotels. In the second cabin
are 2l2 staterooms, in the third 561.
Every room has electric lights. $4,000
bulbs being used.
Most of the huge liners now sail
ing the seas are built around the
engines-that is. they are built in
such a way that dining rooms. quar-
ters, cabins, even stairs, are made
secondary to the engine room. On
the Majestic 1t is the reverse. All
stairs are on the side of the ship.
The smokestacks and ventilators are
built along the sides, connecting in
air spaces at the top of the elevator
shafts on the emergency boat decks.
Thus the center of the ship is given
over to parlors. dining room. dance
floor. swimming pools and libraries
without distractions.
