- Berg 15-Horsepower chassis
Berg Automobile Co. The Berg company shows the chassis of two and four-cylinder cars. In each model the transmisson is through sliding gears, propeller shaft and bevel gear final drive. The entire running gear construction is substantial, the wheel base is long, the springs long and wide and the axles heavy. The braking system includes expanding hub brakes. The two models are rated at 18 and 24 horsepower respectively. - A sailing ship
- The American Frigate Constitution
- A British Line-of-Battle Ship, 1790
This awkward ship is one of the type that made up the great fleets that fought, for instance, at Trafalgar. Nelson’s flagship, the Victory, is of this type. - A Cargo Liner
A cargo liner is a freight ship that sails on scheduled dates and routes, and is different in this from a “tramp” which takes what cargoes it can at any time and to any port. - A European Side-wheeler
These steamers are often seen in European waters and are widely used as excursion boats. - A Few Types of Sailing Boats to Be Found Around the World
- A Few Types of Sailing Ships Common in European and American Waters
- A Floating Dry Dock
And a ship undergoing repairs. - A Battle Cruiser
A ship carrying the heaviest of guns but lacking the heavy armour of the dreadnaughts. Its speed is greatly superior to that of dreadnaughts. - Using a Cross Staff
This crude instrument was used in an attempt to work out problems in latitude. After holding one end of the staff to the eye and sliding the cross staff along until the observer sighted over one end at the sun and under the other at the horizon, the instrument was placed on a circle marked in degrees, and the angle was determined. - Using a Pelorus
This apparatus consists of a movable plate marked with compass bearings, set in a stand. The observer sets the plate to correspond to the standard compass, and then sights across it in determining the compass bearings of points ashore from which he wishes to learn his exact position. - Using an Astrolabe
This instrument was meant to improve on the cross staff. One man held it, when it was supposed to hang with the horizon line horizontal. Another man sighted at the sun or the stars, and a third read and recorded the angle. Needless to say the instrument was very inaccurate. - The Savannah
The first steamship to cross the Atlantic. - The Spray
In which Captain Joshua Slocum circumnavigated the globe. - The Steamship Oceanic
This ship may be said to be the first of the transatlantic liners, for in her, for the first time, great concessions were made for the comfort and convenience of the passengers. - The Tillamook Rock Light Station
This great rock, which lies about a mile off the coast of Oregon, was formerly a spot of terrible danger to ships. Great difficulties had to be overcome in order to erect this lighthouse, but now its 160,000-candle-power light is visible, in clear weather, for eighteen miles. - The Paris
The greatest French Merchant ship, operated by the French Line. - The Pharos at Alexandria
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and one of the first great lighthouses. - The Rigging of a Three-masted Ship

A British liner of the Cunard Line. - The Merrimac
An ironclad built by the Confederates during the American Civil War. This ship proved how superior to wooden ships armoured ships could be. She was armed with a ram with which she sank the Cumberland, and her armour amply protected her from the enemy’s guns. - The Monitor
The first armoured ship to mount a turret. This is the ship that fought with the Merrimac the first battle between armoured ships. - The Olympic
A sister ship of the ill-fated Titanic, and operated by the White Star Line. - The Great Eastern
A ship that was built half a century too early. This huge vessel, built in 1857, was designed to make the voyage from England to Australia without refuelling. She never made the voyage to Australia, but was used to lay the Atlantic cable. She was ahead of her time, for engines had not developed to the point where she could be properly propelled. - The Great Republic
The greatest clipper ship ever built. Unfortunately, before she made her first voyage she caught fire and had to be sunk. She was refloated and refitted, but never made a voyage in her original rig. When new masts were put in her they were made smaller than the first ones. Still she turned out to be one of the very fastest of the clippers. - The Homeric
A British liner belonging to the White Star Line. - The Leviathan
Formerly the German liner Vaterland, and taken over by the United States during the World War. - The Majestic
Formerly the German liner Bismarck. It is now the property of the White Star Line. - The Detroit
This 35-foot motorboat made the voyage from Detroit, Michigan, to St. Petersburg, Russia. - The Deutschland
Formerly the holder of the transatlantic record. - The George Washington
An American liner, formerly a German ship. She was taken over by the United States during the World War. - The Great Britain
An awkward and unsuccessful ship. She proved, however, when she was wrecked, that for ship construction iron is stronger than wood, and proved, too, that double bottoms, bulkheads, and bilge keels, which were new departures when she was built, were most desirable in ships of her size. - The Ariel, 1866
Which, with the Fiery Cross, Taeping, Serica, and Taitsing, sailed what was, perhaps, the greatest race ever run. After sailing 16,000 miles from Foo-Chow, China, to London, the Ariel, Taeping, and Serica docked in London on the same tide, the Taeping the winner by only a few minutes. The other two were only two days behind, although the first three took 99 days. - The Belgenland
Belonging to the Red Star Line. - The Berengaria
A former German ship now belonging to the Cunard Line. - The Charlotte Dundas
Before the Clermont was built, this boat had operated successfully on the Forth and Clyde Canal in Scotland. The objection to her was that she stirred the water up so that she injured the banks of the canal. - Robert Fulton’s Clermont
The first completely successful steamboat ever built. Others built before the Clermont were made to go, but this ship carried passengers for years. - Sounding by Machine
A glass tube with the upper end closed and the lower end open is lowered in a special case to the sea bottom, and then brought to the surface. As the tube descends, the water compresses the air in the tube, and gradually creeps up inside. The inside of the tube being of ground glass the water leaves a mark showing how far it has entered the tube. By laying the tube on a special scale the depth to which the glass was carried can be gauged. There are other methods not greatly dissimilar from this.
