July, 1918 THE MARINE REVIEW S. S. Carmi A. Thompson built on the ISHERWOOD SYSTEM by the American Shipbuilding Co. Added length without increase of beam has increased the cargo carrying capacity without materially increasing weight of Hull. The Isherwood System has enabled shipbuilding con- cerns, the world over, to break all records in construc- tion, thus rapidly making up the universal ship shortage. The Isherwood System requires less steel. 26 cargo steamers can be constructed from the same material that was formerly used for 24 vessels constructed on the transverse system. Furthermore, the [sherwood System provides additional deadweight carrying capacity. Also, it allows ad- ditional length without increasing beam—a feature that permits bigger tonnage for lake carriers going to the Atlantic seaboard or vice versa. The secret is in the greater longitudinal, strength of this system over the transverse construction. N Collision damagé is reduced to a minimum; and the Isherwood System permits greater facilities for mak- ing repairs quickly and effectively. At present there are over 830 vessels built and under construction aggregating over 6,250,000 deadweight tons carrying capacity which includes over 230 (repre- senting about 1,750,000 tons) building in the U. S. A. and 310 bulk oil carriers carrying 2,800,000 tons. Below are shown sections thru freighters on the two systems—on the right is the Isherwood system. Note the rigidity, lightness and spaciousness of this con- struction. Write for particulars. J. W. ISHERWOOD> 17 BATTERY PLACE Phone Rector 6838 NEW YORK CITY Head Office, 4 Lloyds Ave., London, E.
