I Official testa of the recently con
-ert. (i Die:-"] eVetric freighter Cou-’
:
o i- wove conducted, successfully
•1 cl< y 01 side of Ambrose Chan
’ cl
he ve-se! left Pier 6. Staten Is
land. Her run Uxi the wal out was
made in 1 hour and 49 minutes,
giving her an average speed, for the
29.2 miles, of 13 knots. While this
was not claimed a3 a record, owing
jto (he fact that no records are*kept
for vessels of her size-, it was con
ddered at least as good as any per
formance that has been made under
similar conditions by ships under
8,0 00 tons.
The return run, owing to head
winds, was made at a.slightly slow
er speed, and the average speed
made by the Courageous for the 58.4
miles was 15.35 knots. Inasmuch as
it is expected that shL will be allo
cated to the Roosevelt Steamship
Company for their round-the-world
service, this is considered ample.
Upon her return to Ambrose the
vessel performed vsuccesisfully the
figure eight steering test and was
tested coming from full speed to a
full stop. It is expected that under
i auditions of actual service she will
be able to maintain a steady average
•of more than 13 knots.
The Courageous has four Diesel
|
engines, each generating 1,200-brake
horsepower at 250 revolutions, turn
I four large electric generators, which
!|in turn operate her motor, which
Jims a shaft horsepower of 4,000.
The Diesel engines were made by
1 McIntosh & Seymour and the gen
lerators were furnished by the Gen
; mal Electric Company.
Another innovation was put into
'effect when the engines were in
j stalled. The bow and stern of the
| Courageous were cut off and the en
j p ines and generating plant were than
j installed. This was subjected to
| much criticism, especially by British
shipping experts, but it worked out
successfully.
The reconditioned ship is 4f>8.6
i Ret long. 56 feet in beam and 38
I
j feet deep, 11 l'eet having been added
, to its length during the recondition
| ir.g. The cost of the work was ap
! proximately $1,300,000.
