of Boats and Ships.
We DAVID JAMES JENKINS of Fern Bank Dartmouth in the County of Devon
Master Mariner and SAMUEL CAREY of No. 1 Overhill Kingswear in the County.
of Devon Yacht Captain do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
A tank (to contain oil) made of aluminium iron or other substance is fixed in
Each tank is divided

by a partition placed lengthways therein. The tanks are connected by two tubes,
one tube on the starboard side and one on, the port side of the boat or ship. These
tubes are carried outside the boat or ship above the water line. Each tube is
perforated the perforations or groups of perforations being about two feet apart.
The perforations are confined to that part of the tube which is outside the boat or
ship. Each tube is provided with two stop cocks, one at each end where the tube
enters the tank.

A New or Improved Apparatus for Distributing Oil from the Sides
of Boats and Ships.
We DAVID JAMES JENKINS of Dartmouth in the County of Devon Master
Mariner and SAMUEL CAREY of Kingswear in the said County of Devon Yacht
Master do bereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention consists in a device intended to be used for ejecting and
distributing oil upon the surface of the sea from the sides of boats or ships the
said device being in effect two oil containing tanks connected by tubes which tubes
are perforated at intervals and are fitted with valves to control the supply of oil
and which said device is intended to be used so as to enable persons by spreading the
contents of the said tanks upon the sea to calm the waves more effectively and
with less waste of oil than heretofore.
For this purpose a tank is placed in the bows of a boat or ship, another similar
tank is placed in the stern, these tanks are connected by tubes running outside the
boat or ship and perforated at intervals throughout their length, and valves are
fitted to the tubes and to the tanks to enable persons in the boat to regulate and
control the supply of oil, whereby waste is prevented.
This invention is shown in the annexed drawing in which
Fig. 1 is a plan of the device

page_text: The device substantially consists of two tanks A and A shaped to fit into the
bows and stern of a boat or ship provided with orifices for introducing the
oil and divided as shown into two compartments the compartments being connected
together by a tube fitted with a valve B. A tube is placed outside the boat or
ship and is connected with the tanks at C C C and C. Valves are fitted to this
tube at D D D and D further essential constituents of the device are valvos E
and E.
The outside tube is perforated as shown in Fig. 2 at F F F F F and F.
The valves B and B are used for levelling and equalising the oil in the
compartments into which the tanks A and A are divided.
The valves DDD and D and also the valves E and E control the flow of oil
from the tubes.
Having now particularly described the nature of the said invention and the
manner in which the same is to be performed and used we dealare that what we
claim is
A combination of tanks for containing oil perforated tubes for distributing
and ejecting it on the sea and valves for controling its flow substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.
