The first thing in the actual con-
troction is to arrange the keel)
blocks on which the ship is to rest

than he neighbor nearer the water.
"These blocks are - usually of the}.
stoutest oak and are placed from
two to three feet apart. They must
have a regular inclination, or the
ship cannot be launched. In vessels
|like the St. Louis the incline is
about halfT an inch in height to
a foot in length. In smaller vessels
it is often more than one inch to the
foot. Larger vessels have so much
weight that a sharp. incline is not
as necessary as with smaller ones.
The keel of the ship is laid on these
blocks, and as fast asthe sides of
are placed against them to make
sure that by no accident will the
vessel topple over.
At length the hull of the ship is
completed. Then it is that the
launching apparatus is prepared.
This consists of two parts, one that
remains fixed on the ground and
one that glides into the water with
the ship. The part that goes into
the water is the cradle. Itis that |
part in which the hull of the vessel
rests snugly, and probably that is
why it is called a cradle. When the
time comes for the launch, a long
row of blocks is built, under each
side of the ship at an equal distance
from the keel blocks andT of the
same inclination. . On. these blocks
rest first the stationary. ~~ways.TT:
| These consist of broad planks of
oak from 3 ta4 feet wide, capable
of sustaining a weight of from 2 to
214 tons to the square foot. On top
of these ways are the osliding
ways,TT of nearly the same breadth,
and between the two the tallow is
placed.
AT narrow cleat runs ~along the
edge of the stationary ways so that
the sliding ways shall not slip off as
they carry the ship along. Above
the sliding ways is what is called
the ~o~packing.TT This consists of
pieces of timber packed olcse against
the curving sides of the vessel to
hold it firm to the sliding ways be-
neath. The curves in the hull vary
so much that it would be impossible
to fit the sliding waysT to them, and
so, by means of packing, the ship is
fitted to the ways instead. The pack-
ing and the sliding ways constitute
the cradle, and it is fastened to the
ship by stout ropes. Along its length,
at intervals of about 18 inches, are
big wedges, the points of which are
inserted between the sliding ways
and the packing. A rope about the
thickness of a,clothesline runs from
wedge to wedge, so that none may
be lost when they float into the wa-
ter. |
We are now ready for the launch.
Tallow, to the thickness,of about.an,
inch has been spread between the
ways as they were put in position,
nearly 60. barrels being necessary
for a ship like the St. Louis. The |
cradle sets snugly against the shipTs
bottom, The:vessel, however, is still
resting on the keel, blocks. The task
now is to transfer the ship from
these keel blocks to the launching
supports and to take away\the keel
plodks. ~Then, when ~the weight of
the ship rests on the launching ways
/ alone, all that is necessary is to saw
away the ~sole pieceTT at the bow, |
~where the stationary and, sliding
ship by her own weight will proba- |
