To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While Sailor Jack and our many commercial rivals stood aghast and wondered, our friends gave us yet another order for a still longer ship, with still the same beam and power. The vessel was named the Digitized by Google Increaamg Length of Vessels. 305 Persian; she was three hundred and sixty feet long, thirty-four feet beam, twenty-four feet nine inches hold. More cargo was thus carried, at higher speed.
It was only a further development of the fish form of structure. Venice was an important p...ort to call at.
The channel was difficult to navigate, and the Vene- tian class (two hundred and seventy feet long) was supposed to be the extreme length that could be han- dled there. But what with the straight stem — by cutting the forefoot away — and by the introduction of powerful steering-gear, worked amidships, the cap- tain was able to navigate the Persian^ ninety feet longer than the Venetiany with much less anxiety and inconvenience.
Until the building of the Perstauy we had taken great pride in the modelling and finish of the old style of cutwater and figurehead, with bowsprit and jib- boom; but, in urging the advantages of greater length of hull, we were met by the fact of its being simply impossible, in certain docks, to swing vessels of any greater length than those already constructed.
