The Thames ship building , company offered M
designs for both battle ship and armored M
cruiser and a handsome model or each , lncir
designer , G. C. Mackrow , Is a naval architect
of the highest standing. This company has .

clad Warrior for England. - ' - !
The B-rrow ship building company of Bar- m
row-In-Furncss also offered a design for both H
battleships and armored cruiser. This com- SM
paiiy | has built more vessels for the merchant H
servfee than the navy , but bus constructed the t <
torpedo cruiser Fearless (1,700) ( , which de- t < , m
veloped a very high rate of speed and great yV M
offensive power. Their doigncr , William H
John , is n ' widely known architect , being as- H
sistaut chief surveyor of the LIo\ds. The
plan of battleship offered by them
presents a feature somewhat re- M
markable by having the water line H
veil protected by hcayy armor and the guns H
cn the upper deck , but leaving the intermedl- S B
ate between the upper and lower decks wholly S H
without protection. This plan has been cm- M
bodied ( in some of the enormous vessels recent- j B
jv built for the Italian navy , and has given sf * f ; M
rise to much discussion In professional circles. . ' ( j M
Tliere are two turrets in the echelon somewhat t H
out to the side , so that their guns can fire di- S M
rcctly forward and aft. , j H
Mr. Watt of Birkenhead , a consulting en- H
gincer and marine architect , preseuted plans - /d / _ _
for a battleship less In detail than some others , . j H
but , of interest in many points. _ H
Mr. Grandjean of St. Nazalre is a marine cn- , j H
giueer of evident fckill , judging from the < J M
drawings . ' furnished. These show a dear In- i _ _ |
sight into the requirements of war ships , of H
which he has possibly designed many. r \ ' H
The naval architects of the United States # \ _ 7JH
were well represented , as well by quality as ( 4 H
the . number of plans furnished. "The bureau ( H
of construction as represented by its chief , Mr. ' H
Wilson , presented designs for both 'il
battleships ' ( di
_ _ _
and cruisers. Mr. Pook , a naval constructor , H
_
aj present on duty in New York , offered a ' ( |
design which betrays a skill apparently in- I i i fl
herited ( from his father , who was a noted < ff |
ship builder. Lieutenant Chambers , U. S. N. , H
although not connected with the construction / H
bureau 1 , proved himself well Mailed in the art 1 H
oi designing ships , presenting very complete g i' _ |
and handsome drawings. Captain L. Tonnes r- ' I' * H
ofw iiew York , the ex-foreman of George Steers , 1 ' H
who . built the famous Niagara , showed a par- V _ H
tial adherence to old ideas , by having the ( . / H
vessel lined within and without with wood
' ( _ _
and leaving no double bottom , which is now I H
considered unnecessary I W-H
The plans from New Zealand included but a JH
_ _
rough [ tracing , representing some special ideas 'JH
of the designer , who is a surveyor at Auck- j , fl H
land. '
