‘ NEW ALL STEEL
* 1
The Alaska Steamship Company
announces that it will at once build
an all steel motorship for South Am
erican and other foreign trade. The
contract for the hull and for the in
stallation of all engines, machinery
and equipment has been let to the
Todd Dry Dock & Construction Corpor
ation and the keel will be laid down
at the big Tacoma plant just as soon
material can be assembled. The
contract for the winches also goes to
local parties, the Allan Cunningham
Company.
^ The news is of great interest to
shipping men as this will be the
largest motorship to be completed and
will be the pioneer in the development
of this class of vessel on this coast.
Locally the news is of more than or
dinary interest owing to the fact that
the Alaska Steamship Company is dis
tinctly a local organization for many
years engaged in the important indus
trial development of Alaska, and now
planning to extensively engage in for
eign trade. The completed plans show
a well proportioned and graceful ship.
Then the new vessel will present many
novel features such as its complete
electrically driven driven auxiliary
machinery, the arrangement of quart
ers for officers and crew, its efficiency
V* combined with economy, and its large
cargo capacity in comparison to its
deadweight tonnage.
It will be an all-steel motorship,
built to Lloyds 100 A-l class or its
equivalent. Primarily it will be used
in the South American and foreign
trade but being designed to carry
heavy bulk cargo, it can be utilized in
any freight service where it may be
required. It will have twin screws
and when loaded will develop a speed
of better than 11 knots. The princi
pal dimensions will be:
Length, overall, about 360 ft; Be
tween perpendiculars, 345 feet; Beam
molded, 49 feet, 6 inches; Depth
molded, 26 feet, 9 inches, Draft mold
ed, 22 feet.
It will be engined by two Mclntosh
Seymour true Diesel engines of the 4
* cycle type, each having 6 cylinders
and developing 1200 I. H. P. at 140
^ revolutions per minute. Sectional
bronze propellers will be installed on
the vessel.
The cargo capacity will be about
6,500 weight tons. In lumber it will
be represented by 3,250,000 feet.
The entire vessel will be construct
ed with heavy steel double bottom
and the cubic space between the bot
toms will be utilized for the storage
of fuel oil. The amount of fuel oil
that the vessel can carry in her tanks
is another distinct feature of the craft.
These tanks provide space for 1,500
barrels of fuel oil and 4,500 barrels
as cargo, a total of 6.000 barrels, or,
at her averaged estimated consump
tion, enough to carry the vessel a dis
tance of 26,000 miles.
No steam will be used on this ves
sel, another unusual feature. All the
auxiliary machinery and equipment
will be electrically driven. The elec
tric energy will be generated by two
auxiliary 100 H. P. McIntosh Seymour
engines and this power will drive the
winches, windlasses, steering engine,
electric light, towing engine, ice ma
chinery, pumps, air compresser and
all other auxiliaries.
The hull will be constructed on the
Isherwood longitudinal system. The
vessel will have four cargo holds,,
three ’tween decks and one large
bridge ’tween deck. The vessel has
two masts, two derricks posts, nine
booms, eight winches, four large hat
ches IS feet by 2S feet. Eight of the
booms are for lifting from five to
ten tons each, but one special boom
is designed for lifting thirty tons.
The main engines will be set two
thirds aft. All housing space for of
ficers and crew will be directly amid
ships and here too some decidedly
novel and interesting details are ob
served. On the navigating bridge is
found the wheel house, chart room,
commanding officer’s suite consisting
of office, stateroom and bath; own
er’s room with bath, and pilot’s room.
On the bridge deck the quarters are
most conveniently arranged fore and
aft of No. 3 cargo hatch. In the
forward section are located the main
dining room, chief engineer, first en
gineer, chief officer, second officer,
third officer, purser, steward, bath
room, and officers’ smoking room.
This room will be used as a library
and social hall and is an innovation
among freighters. It will undoubtedly
be much appreciated by the officers.
The afterhouse has the hospital, the
seamen’s mess, engine room mess,
staterooms for second and third engi
neer, radio room, quarters for sea
men, oilers, wipers and others, each
group having its own seperate bath,
which is still another improvement.
Hot and cold running water, electric
heat, modern plumbing in every in
spect, the latest cold storage and
wireless equipment will complete the
most livable quarters yet arranged for
any freighter on this coast.
The Alaska Steamship Company,
during two decades has pioneered the
way and has largely assisted in the
development of traffic and expansion
of routes in the northern territory.
Now, by this latest contract placed
with local companies, it will be the
pioneer in still another field. For that
reason the building and subsequent
career of this 6.000 ton motorship
will be watched with interest by all
who follow the development of Puget
sound commerce, particularly as this
vessel is to be built for foreign trade
and will prove to be an important fac
tor in the expansion of the company’s
plans.

SYDNEY, Aus., Sept. 14 (by Associ
Press).—Four week’s experience on
the Galapagos Islands was sufficient
for the crew of the Australian gov
ernment liner Carawa, who, like the
original Robinson Cruso, were cast
aways on that island group last April.
The Carawa last March left Port
Arthur, Texas, for Australia with ben
zine and case oil. When in the Pac
ific it encountered a launch contain
ing six men, which had been blown1
out to sea. The liner towed the
launch to Chatham island in the Gal
apagos group.
On Chatham island the Carawa
struck a reef. Her stern post and rud
der were torn away and she began to.
leak badly. The crew made for shore j
and watched their boat sink.
The men lived in a tent made from
canvas from the ship and subsisted on
canned meat and potatoes. The food
supply was limited and sleep was out
of the question on account of the mos-1
quitoes. In addition, convicts on the i
island stole the castaways’ belongings.
A schooner carrying cattle and hogs
picked the men up and, after a voy
age of eighteen days landed them at
Quayaqual. Here they shipped on a
steamer for Colon, where the Austral
ian government liner Australange,
bound for Sydney, picked them up.
