Ocean City Investment- Co. R. F. MAINS, Sales Manager Putnam House. HMlnl i Hi,. ,.i, New York, Oct. 1 Announcement that the world's largest ship, tha Majestic, will be ready for service between New York and Southampton next spring directs attention to the facilities for docking the great ship at her pier on her arrival at New York and the methods to be employ ed in doing- so. When the largest of the present ocean liners came out, just before the war, it was necessary to extend the piers at New York where they are decked, to protect their long hulls from traffic passing up and down the Hudson, river. The extended pier3 will be a verv tight fit indeed for the Maje::tic, while the task of getting her into her berth will present as big a job as the docking experts employ ed by the steamship companies at New York have yet encountered. New York is perhaps the hardest pert in the world in which to dock a great ocean liner, from the fact that it is the only one where the dock's are at right angles to a river in which strong tides flow regularly. A ship's captain is usually pictur ed as experiencing his greatest wor ries when his vessel is at sea buffeted by wind and storm. As a matter of fact on modern liners storms aTe small concern compared to his anx iety when he enters a port and finds his ship hampered by lack of sea room of space to navigate. In harbor he is confined to a chan nel, oftimes one in which he could not turn around. His speed is limit ed to bare steerage way. He must avoid strikimr Dassinc craft or wot ting too far to one side from the dee pened channel. Opposite his dock, which in New York appears like openings between the teeth of a huge comb, he must come to a ston and swinp- tbp httUr beneath him crosswise to the flowing tide, hold it there, and nose his way into one of the openings. j Not daring to make use of the ship's own tremendous power by rea son of lack of room, from a dozen to as high as 20 tugs are used in swing' ing into their docks such big vessels as the Olympic, the Mauretania, or the big 912-foot, 66,000-ton Majestic. Indicating what damage might re sult if one of the big liners should bump into a pier or a passing craft, a marine engineer recently estimated that when moving at the rate of five miles an hour, about as fast as a man would walk, a blow equal to that of 14,400 runabout automobiles acting simultaneously would be inflicted. Those who have seen the results of a crash of a single car can visualize the collective result. . The technically inclined are in formed by the engineer that the mea sure of actual energy required to stop the Bhip at a five-mile speed in one second is 158,867,360 foot pounds, or a force equal to 288,521 horse power acting through one second. As soon as the ship is within hea-ving-line distance of the pier, haw sers, or big ropes measuring 12 in ches in circumference and tested to a strain of 131,000 pounds are made fast. Attached to the ship's winches a slow careful strain is put upon them. The strain is carefully watch ed for if the tensile strength be ex ceeded they would snap like a thread. If the tide pressure is too great of times the ship will swing up broad side to a pier head then with aid of tug power, winch power pulling on lines and an occasional turn of the ships screw, the long hull will be swung around and eased into the berth by inches. Once within the slip the vessel is eased along the dock with the aid of spring lines, or hawsers running from forward and aft playing over strong clutches or butts on the pier amid ship the vessel. When one of the 900-footers is docked her bow is so close to the pier head that it can al most be touched. Her stern is pro tected from passing river craft by the bulkheads built out into the river "All fast sir," the mates forward and aft and the officers amidships report. The bell in the engine room jin gles to advise the force below that the anxious moment is ended. '! A sharp quick blast of the whistle which seems to echo the captain's or pilot's involuntary sigh of relief, the gangway is run up, and another voy- age is ended. !
