The latter project involved the elevation of the largest ocean steamships high and dry on shallow pontoons for the purpose of passing them across the Nile at low summer level. Political jealousies alone have LEADING ENGINEERS AND NAVAL ARCHITECTS. 15 delayed the execution of this work. English and French cajjital- ists are still prepared to find the required £10, 000, 000, and ship- owners to entrust their laden vessels to the pontoons. Whether a ship be placed on a railway car or on a pontoon ...will obviously not affect the question of the safety of her being lifted high and drj^ when fully laden. When critics have expressed to me their opinion that a ship would be injured by so doing, I have invited them to condescend to a little more detail, and to point out which bottom plate would be bulged, which frame bent, which l)utt-joint opened, and why? The general laws affecting the streugtli of materials apply to iron and steel ships as to other metallic structures, and in order to s1k)w that any of the above injuries could result, I have satisfied myself, by long and careful investi- gation, it is first necessary to assume either criminal negligence or a singularly badly designed car.
