SATURDAY MORNING MARCH 6, 1858
A WONDER OF THE WORLD-THE
STEAMSHIP LEVIATHAN.
[OONOLUDED.]
The paddle engines havo four tubular boilers
with 400 brass tubes of 3 inches diameter, each
boiler 17 feet 9 inches long, and 16 feet diamei
ter, weighing about 60 tons, containing 40 tons
of water. There are ten furnaces to each boiler,
five on each side, and two boilers in each boiler
room. Each boiler room is supplied with air by
four ventilators or shafts, seven feet by five in
width, which go to the upper deck, and are there
gratet over. The paddle boilers aro in two dis
tinct sets, each set with full firing capable of
giving steam to the amount of 2500 horse power.
There are besides two auxiliary condensing en
gines capable of working with 160 horse power,
for working pumps, and doing- other necessary
work of the ship.
The coal bunkers on each side, above and beel
tween the boilers, are capable of containing
about 12,000 tone of coal. At the estimated con
sumption of 180 tons per day of 24 hours, and
on the supposition of making the distance of 12,-
700 miles to Port Philip, at the rate of 18 miles
an hour, there would be a consumption of 6400
tons in the outward voyage. leaving an equal
quantity for the return voyage, with a surplus
of 1200 tons for contingencies. Through the eon
bunkers, in various places, tunnels are construct
ed to form a direct communication from one part
and another of the ship.
In addition is the provision for steam power,
the ship has six masts for carrying sails of va
rious dimensions, but as it is computed that the
propulsion by steam will be at the rate of 18 miles
an hour, it must be a rare ocourence to be fa
vored with a wind to accelerate this motion,' and
they are probably provided to aid the steering
the ship, and fur the contingency of getting oat
of fuel, or of some accident to the steaming ap
paratus. Five of the masts aro of icon, and the
rear one is of wood.
It would be difficult to give any description of
this immense vessel, which without the aid of
drawings would give any distinct idea of its pe
t culler construction. It is built exclusively of iron,
with very trifling exceptions, and next to its size
its most striking feature is its appearance of
strength. Its principle dimensions are as fol
lows:
Length between perpendiculars, 68U feet.
on deck, 691
Extreme breadth of the hull;s, 83 "
Ai across paddleStioxes, 118 "
Depth, 68 "
Tonnage (old measurement.) 22,609 tons
The ground on which it was built was first pre
pared for the purposes of giving it the, necessary
solididy to bear its weight evenly, by the driv
ing of upwards of 1400 piles. This would
seem no greater number, unless the ground piss
sealed some degree y of solidity - "to begin with,
Oer we believe that twice that number were
driven in the foundations of the freight house 'of
the Boston and Worcester Railroad, (which
building, by the way, is but equal in area to
the famous ship.) . Upon the ground thus pre
pared, a level platform was laid to a hieght of
ab,iut five feet, composed of " balks of timber."
Along the centre of this platform was first laid
the keelplate, consisting of plates of iron an inch
thick, inserted together as they were laid.
Upon this was laid what is called the "centre
web," and which answers slightly to the office
of the keel of an ordinary ship, although laid
within the outer coating of iron plates—there
being in fact uu keel. Then on the top of the
"centre web" is laid another and inner coating
of iron plates, three-quarters of an inch thick,
which is kept at a distance oft F4O feet ten inches
from the outer coating. The plates of the outer
coating except at the keel, are also three-quarters
of an inch iii thickness. No frame or ribs were
erected to indicate the shape of the growing
structure ' but, it was formed by the continual
bolting of one iron plate to another, both on
the outer and inner coating, or as it is called,
"skin" of the - ship—the shape of eahh plate,
before it was brought to the spot, being exactly
shaped so as to be preserve the proper form of
construction, both in the outer and inner skin,
which kept throughout at an equal distance
from each other. Every plate was perforated
around each of its edges Ivith holes, with such
exactness as to receive the bolts which rivet it
to the next adjoining plate. The average di
mensions of the plates are 10 feet in length by
2 feet 9 inches in breadth The number of
plates in the entire hull is about 30,000, of an
average weight is nearly , 600 lbs., and the number
of rivets for fastening them together, nearly
2,000,000. '
In addition to the " centre web," which runs
the whole length ,of the ship, and occupies the
ordinary place of a keel, serves to retain the
outer and inner ." Skins " at an equal dietance of
2 feet 10 inches from each other, there are 30
other similar " webs," running the whole length
of the ship, nearly parallel to this central one
which divide the space longitudially in 32 com
partments, and these are intercepted at distances
of 60 feet by- "twelve bulk heads running trans
versely across the ship, subdividing not only the
space between the two "skins," but also the
whole lower part of the ship into still smaller
compartnients;• so that if by any accident both
the outer and inner skins should be perforated so
as to admit the water through them both, its
access would be limited to one of the compart
ments, so that the safety of the ship wouldnot
be endangered.
The process of laying and riveting together
the two concentric surfaces of iron plates, which
constitutes the entire raising of the structure of
the ship, is performed with groat rapidity—each
plate before it is brought upon the ground tieing
snapped to such a pattern, and perforate/for
the bolts with such exactness, as to bring out
the skilfully designed outline, without any haz•
and of error. This result is of course preduced
by the previous study of the engineer, who forms
a model in wood of each plate of the entire
ship, hardly any of which are of the same form
and by this model the iron plates of an inch in
thicbness are out by the huge steam shears, with
as much ease and more exactness than garments
are shaped by a' paPer pattern. The plates,
when shaped and perforated, ate brought to
their position by appropriate machinery. The
first operator of a working Ivey adjusted the
plate—the bolts, at a white heat, placed at
his side, are inserted by him one by one,,from
the inside of ,tho ship, and while it holds
them in their position, by means of a heavy
hammer at the head of the bolt, two strikers, by
alternate blows, rivet the head on the other
side.
The bolts contract in cooling and thereby draw
the' plates together with compactness that
could be attaiued by no other force Another
attendant keeps up the supply of heated bolts
from a furnace near at hand, as fast as theY aro
required.
.In this way the ship attains its
sions by a gradual advance,' hardly observable
from' day to dsy, without the apparatus of mu
eh% frames or machinery, the growing structure
itself affording the principal supprirt to..the 1114.
cease* , Scaffolding and working machinery, and
in due time the same processes in the structure
of the bulkheads to form the compartments,
the other partitions, the gangways and other
work, which contribute to the strength andieon
venience of the ship when finished being made to
its progress.
It will be periceved that in describing the
structure of these two concetitric iron walls of
the ship, with a watertight space between, and
with various subdivisions, we havo been describ
ing the tubular principle of giving strength to
the whole frame of the ship. There are how
ever various other works which are made to con
tribute to her strength, while they serve other
purposes. This may be said of the decks, the
traasverse bulkheads, and particularly two par
allel longitudinal bulkheads, or iron walls, three
hundred and fifty feet in length, and thirty-siv
feet apart, which divide the whole of th'
below the second deck, into three par'
