13 TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1914. 275 TAKE ON GE0R6JANA MAIDEN TRIP Excursion Steamer of Obser vation Style Wins Plaud its of Rivermen. LUNCH SERVED ON BOARD First Propeller Type Vessel on Co lombia Can Accommodate 350 Passengers and Is Almost Free From Vibration. Ideal weather smiled on the passen rer steamer Georgiana for her trial trip down the Willamette and Colum bia rivers ' yesterday. That, with the substantial lunch and the' absence of vibration from the engines, made the trip to St. Helens and back a tnor-eug-lrly enjoyable outing for the 275 guest of the Harklns Transportation Company. The steamer left her dock at the foot of Washington street at 11:15. At no time on the way down stream did she do- much better than half speed, but cn ' the ' return trip she made spurts wlik-o showed that she can travel 17 initM an hour and better. She was back1 at the Washington-street dock at 4:o0- The Georgiana is licensed to carry 350 passengers, but Captain L. P. Hosford says she could easily carry 600. and' she has a seating capacity of 465. She is a propeller passenger nteamer of the observation type. She lm a. triDte-expansion engine of SOO horsepower, built by the Seabury Com pany. of New York. The steamer was designed by F. A. Ballin and built by r:ntaJn L. P. Hosford in Supple's ship yard. Her length is 145 feet and her beam 22 feet. Seating Capacity Large. On the lower deck are the engines ana boiler-rooms, the smoking-room, th dlninsr-room. the galley and the lavatories. There are seats for 125 on this deck. The main deck Is al most entirely occupied by one long observation saloon, with seats looking forward like those in a railway coacn along each side, and a double row run ning fore and aft along the middle of the saloon. There are open spaces fore and aft of the saloon. Altogether there are seats for 237 on this deck. On the uDtier deck there are six state . rooms, with two berths each. There are seating accommodations for 100 mora on this deck. Everyone on board seemed to be de lighted with the Georgiana. Here are a few of the opinions expressed of the boat and her capabilities: Marcus Talbot, general manager Port of Portland Commission: "The Georgi ana is a departure from the ordinary river passenger boat in being a pro peller instead of a stern-wheelen. 8t ought to be a success because of her ample passenger accommodation. I think Captain Hosford and his asso ciates should be given a great deal of credit for their enterprise In building a boat of this kind." Commissioner Daly: "She is not only a handsome, but a speedy boat. I be lieve she will be Instrumental In the beeinninsr of a big river traffic. Port land always has been short on this kind of steamer. Our greatest asset is the Columbia River, and. the better we how it the better we will prosper. Government Inspectors FIcaaed. Captain Meany, assistant United Btates Inspector of Hulls: "The Geor giana Is one of the best equipped boats in the district. She is up to date, well built and in every way adapted, to the purpose for which she was built. George F. Fuller, United States In spector of Boilers: "She is a roomy, convenient boat, well adapted for the excursion passenger trade anywhere on the Columbia River. She is the only exclusively passenger boat In this local district. She is a well-appointed, neat little boat." Franklin T. Griffith, president Port land Railway. Light & Power Com pany: "I believe that this boat can make the trip to Astoria in quick enough time to keep the people from setting tired of it five hours. 6he Is comfortable and has the appearance of peed. Chief of Police Clark: 'I think she Is a crackerjack, one of the nicest lit tie boats I ever ran on, and I used to run on the Mississippi and was a pilot on the Minnesota River before I be came a policeman. The builders ought to be congratulated. The public will appreciate the Georgiana." City Attorney La Roche: "She is delightful craft and has less vibration than any boat I have ever been on on the river. I hope she will be the fore runner of more of her kind on the Co lumbia." Captain Hoaford Satisfied. Captain L. P. Hosford: "I am well pleased with the Georgiana. She rides comfortably and develops good speed, xuiiy up to expectations. Since nave iouno. out now steady she is we have arranged to carry 100 more pas sengers on the upper deck." Fred A. Ballin. designer of the Geor gians.: "I am satisfied with the work fche is a true little boat I have never "been on any boat which had so little vibration and her stability is wonder ful and the arrangements for the com' fort of her passengers excellent." Among the prominent men who made the trial trip were R. j. Wood, La. F. Knowlton. A. J. Lewth- waite. John Lewtnwaite, Captain a. J. Young, A. u. Graham, J. H. Page, 1. A. McNary, Arthur Langguth, H.
