VANCOUVER CRAFT , MAY BE
CALLED "F. I. FILLER."
Expectation Is It Will Leave Waya
In About Month, "When Elaborate
Launching 19 Planned.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 23. (Spe
cial.) The new Vancouver ferry-boat,
which is being built at the shipyards of
the St. John Shipbuilding Company, in
St. John, Or., and which,, it is expected,
will be launched in about a. month, is
pronounced by everyone connected with
its construction and by the boatmen gen
erally along the river, as the best ferry
boat ever built on either the Willamette
or the Columbia. It is a beauty In out
ward appearance, is up-to-date in Its
every appointment and equipped with
everything that is modern.
It will be christened when launched and
there will be an appropriate ceremony
connected therewith. The name Is not yet
definitely decided upon, but it is alto
gether likely It will be called the F. L
Fuller.
' The ferry is 142 feet in length, with a
S-t-foot beam, a depth of 9 feet and a
beam over the guard of 55 feet 2 inches.
On either aide of the apron at each end of
the new ferry there will be passageways
for passengers separately railed off, and
the teams will go in the center, so that
the teams and passengers . will be kept
apart and not crowded together as is
the case on the old ferry.
There will be well-lighted cabins the
full length of the boat on each side.
These the passengers may enter direct
from the passageways and leave them at
the other end of the boat, stepping direct
ly from the cabin to the railed passage
way. The upper deck will accommodate
between 400-and 500 and the entire ferry
will easily carry 1000 people.
It is a side-wheeler, steam-heated and
lighted by its own electric plant of about
SO amperes. The engine-room is in the
center and the teams will pass this room
on either side In going from one end to
the other.
The new ferry is nearly 40 feet longer
than the old ferry It will draw 30 Inches
of water. The total cost will be about
130,000.
