description. The
Engraving now presented is a general view of the appearance of the Bessemer steamer on a voyage, as she came from Hull to Gravesend, before entering Millwall Docks, and as she will daily pass to and fro between Dover and Calais. The vessel, as before stated, is of large dimensions-350ft. in length and 40ft. in breadth-and is propelled by a double set of engines and paddle-wheels, the total indicated enginepower being equivalent to 4600-horse power. Her speed will be much greater than that of any other Channel steam-boat, and in little more than an hour she will convey passengers from England to France. We hope she will also carry them more comfortably in, rough weather than they have ever been in any ordinary vessel under the circumstances. Mr. H. Bessemer, the well-known patentee of a valuable process in the manufacture of iron and steel, is the inventor of the suspended saloon, which is not allowed to swing upon its axes, but is kept steady and upright by the action of hydraulic machinery, instead of following the motions of the hull as it tosses upon the heaving or driving waves. The ship was designed by Mr. E. J. Reed. C.B., late Chief Constructor of the Navy and Earle's Shipbuilding Company, at Hull, constructed both the vessel and engines. Nobody who has ever suffered in blue water can refuse his good wishes for the success of this bold experiment.
