No. 42. Table of the Dimensions of Boats required to be carried by Passenger Steamers under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, issued by the Board of Trade for the guidance of their Surveyors (a).

The measurement is taken outside for length and breadth and inside for depth, measuring from top of gunwale.

Surveyors are not to insist upon the precise lengths, breadths and depths inserted in the table, but are to approve of any efficient boats of sufficient strength, the cubic contents of which are respectively equal to or greater than the cubic contents of the boats specified in the table.

The cubic contents of the boats in the above table are ascertained by multiplying their outside length, their outside width, and their inside depth together, and then their product by 6.

LOAD-LINE AND FREE-BOARD.

The Merchant Shipping Act, 1876 (a), enacts that-
26. With respect to the marking of a load-line on British ships, the following provisions shall have effect:

(1.) The owner of every British ship (except ships under 80 tons register employed solely in the coasting trade, ships employed solely in fishing, and pleasure
yachts) shall, before entering his ship outwards from any port in the United Kingdom upon any voyage for which he is required so to enter her, or if that
is not practicable, as soon after as may be, mark upon each of her sides amidships, or as near thereto as is practicable, in white or yellow on a dark ground,
or in black on a light ground, a circular disc, twelve inches in diameter, with a horizontal line eighteen inches in length, drawn through its centre:
(2.) The centre of this disc shall indicate the maximum load-line in salt water to which the owner intends to load the ship for that voyage:

(3.) He shall also, upon so entering her, insert in the form of entry delivered to the collector or other principal officer of customs, a statement in writing of the
distance in feet and inches between the centre of this disc and the upper edge of each of the lines indicating the position of the ship's decks which is above that centre:
(4.) If default is made in delivering this statement in the case of any ship, any officer of customs may refuse to enter the ship outwards:

(5.) The master of the ship shall enter a copy of this statement in the agreement with the crew before it is signed by any member of the crew, and no superintendent
of any mercantile marine office shall proceed with the engagement of the crew until this entry is made:

(6.) The master of the ship shall also enter a copy of this statement in the official log book:

(7.) When a ship has been marked as by this section required, she shall be kept so marked until her next return to a port of discharge in the United Kingdom.

NOTE.-When superintendents ascertain that the provisions of the Act of 1871 as regards the entering of the draught of water have not been complied with, a Form Stm. 40 should be forwarded to the Board of Trade.
