We are indebted to Messrs. Laird Brothers, of Birkenhead, for the
following measurements of the Alabama:
Length About 230 feet.
Length between perpendiculars, " 213.8 "
Breadth of beam extreme, " 32.0 "
Depth moulded, " 19.9 "
Draft of water when complete, with about
300 tons coal in bunkers and stores on
board for a six months' cruise, " 15.0 "
Engines.--300 horse power collective.
Rig.--Three-masted schooner, with long lower masts and
yards on fore and mainmasts.
The hull of the vessel built of wood, the general arrangement
of scantling and materials being the same as in vessels of similar
class in Her Majesty's navy.
The vessel and machinery throughout were built by Messrs.
Laird Brothers at their works at Birkenhead.
