An English shipping paper says what may without exaggeration be ffty >ed a worM's record in the building of single-deck ships has bo-n acomplishud by Messrs W. boxfond and Sons, oi Sunderland, who recently put into the water th_' now Uritish India steamer Quwli. In many r<spects Qucda is a remarkable vessel She in liv for th'> laifcesi turret-deck* Steamer that has >et l. vn built, havtqfe a total deadweight capacity of 12,000 tons, a cargo space ol fiOO.tTOO cubic feel, and \v«ter ballast tanks holding 4000 ton*. She is t ie first turret-decker in the Uritish India Company's fleet, which, on the fulfilment of the present order placed with Messrs Boxford, will include three vessels of thi>Siin»e type. From n Siipbuilder's poiirt of vil-u the Queda is, perhapo, most remarkable is that she has demonstrated the practicability of building a sin-gle-deck steamer of such a fdze a 12.000 lons. It is not many months *ir.C3 the fact that a sinKle-.leck steamer of over 6000 tons, ordinary type, hod fmen launched. myis considered something out of the way. but the Uueib is twico that stap. and pales all other performance!! in that line. A few years ago naval architects would have scouted the idea or building p, ship of this size on thi fcii.gic-deck principle, arpuing, righth enough as it swrned at the time, tlfit such ti ship would be structurally weak. But the thing has nov. been done. and it cannot lie doubted that the \wwel is strong enough to satisfy her buildens/hcr owners, and the British Corporation, who have classed her. Such a ship is a splendid testimony to the shipbuilder':-, skill. mH opens up a new vista of economical construction which heretofore has t»-'n practkall.v uncontempbtnd. It certainly rwiujrwl some courage to build her, and both builders and owners tuay be Congratuluted thereon.
