These are Moldavia, Mongolia, Macedonia, Marmora, Mooltan, Morea, and Malwa, and they mark a new epoch in the history of the company's shipbuilding operations, as they far exceed in size the largest previous type as represented by the China, Persia, Egypt, and others, which in their turn were far ahead of all the steamers before them. The Marmora and Macedonia, built at Belfast by Messrs. Harland and Wolff, are each of 10, 500 tons, and are 530 feet long by 60 feet broad, with a moulded depth o...f 37 feet. Accommodation is provided for 377 first and 187 second saloon passengers. The Moldavia and Mongolia, built at Greenock by Messrs. Caird and Co. , have a gross register of about 10, 000 tons, and are 520 feet long by 58 feet broad and 33 feet deep. They have been fitted for the conveyance of 348 first and 166 second saloon passengers. The arrangements in connection with the passenger accommodation are in advance of anything hitherto attained in the company's steamers in respect to comfort, roominess, light, and ventilation.
