The dockyard at Pourt.-mouth, England, affords employment for 8,000
to 8,500 men, who are to be seen streaming in armies in and out of the
Main, Marlborough ami Unicorn gates when the bell rings for them to begin
or leave work, their wages bill totaling $55,000 to $60,000 a week. The mod
ern yard may be said to date from 1843, when It was determined to greatly
enl arge it and introduce sicam power. In 1864 it was still further en
larged. and now covers between 300 and 400 acres of ground with its
basins, docks, building slips, factories, storehouses and workshops. Here
we find drawing offices, machinery for punching, bending, cutting and shap
ing steel plates, all of which operations, thanks to the powers conferred by
steam, hydraulics and electricity, they appear to carry out with no more
difficulty than if they had been dealing with butter or plasticine. In the
large smithy, a huge brick building, there are no fewer than 120 fires ar-
ranged in a quadrangle.
Of the enormous steam hammers invented by James Naismyth—one of
which is shown In the picture at work on a big forging—there are a full
dozen, one at any rate weighing no less than seven tons. Portsmouth yard
boasts as many as seventeen dry docks of various sizes and Importance.
One or two of these can take a Dreadnought and seven King Edwards or
Nelsons. There are three large basins, known as the fitting, rigging and re-
pairing basins, and the smaller steam basin, The largest of these is 1,000
feet in length and the next smaller 900 feet, Around the basins are nu-
merous shears and cranes for lifting guns, armor plates, portions of en
gines and other heavy material in and out of the ships as they lie along
side the basin walls They are worked by hydraulic or steam power, and
the largest pair of shears is capable of raising a weight of 160 tons. But
we have by no means exhausted the tale of the various establishments which
have their habitat within the long encircling walls of Portsmouth dock
yard. Besides the workshops already enumerated there are the rope, mast
and block-making houses, the boat building sheds, the stores of gun mount-
Ings, cables and the long rows of ships’ anchors forming a perfect
alleyway of iron. Neither must the coalyards be overlooked, with their
mountains of black diamonds surrounded by rows and rows of cranes and
derricks for filling ships’ bunkers and railway trucks. Then there are the
fine houses occupied by the commander-in-chief and the admiral superintend
ent, with their gardens and the terrace of houses in which other and lesser
functionaries have their abode. Here, too, is the establishment in which
naval and marine officers spend months of study in varous war courses,
dealing with the higher phases of naval strategy and tactics, and also the
navigation school and the big fire station containing five steam engines,
nine manuals, two fire escapes and twenty five hose reels.
