To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their dimensions should be as follows : Usable length 1, 150 feet (350. 5 meters); width 130 feet (39. 6 meters) and depth of water 45 feet (13. 7 meters). To canals of lesser importance the same general principles may be applied. "The canal should be planned to take the largest possible ship that may wish to pass through within half a century, should the canal be a lock canal. A sea-level canal can be enlarged by dredging, or by under water excavation if the material is rock. " Review of paper... No. 67 The largest vessel is the least likely to suffer from the destruc- tive powers of the sea says Mr. Foster King, the author of Paper No. 67, and this fact coupled with economy of operation leads the shipowners on to the construction of the largest vessels justified by their interpretation of trade conditions. But the tendency to exceed certain limits of size is opposed by the dimensions of existing dry docks and by the depth of water at the entrance to ports. Mr. King proceeds on the assumption that maritime canals include not only such as the Manchester Ship Canal, the Suez Canal, the Kiel Canal, and the Panama Canal but also entrances to ports such as the river Clyde, the Elbe, Ambrose Channel at New York and others which have an influence upon the dimensions of ships and whose own dimensions are in turn influenced by the size of the' largest vessels using them.
