We have so often been called upon
in past years to announce the last, and
the very last, and positively the last
of this magnificent but generally use
less ship.whichhaslingeredou.through
an obscure and profitless existence,
since her single voyages to New York.
New Orleans and Melbourne proved a
commercial failure, that the stranded
hull on the Mersey shore, ready to be
broken up for a few thousand pouuJs'
worth of old iron, may seem but a
reminiscence of the fate repeatedly
declared to be imminent and com
monly believed to be pasl.
It is thirty years since she iirtt put
to sea from the Thames, and her pas
sage down tho channel was marred
by a shocking disaster from the blow
up of her steam apparatus, which cost
ten lives: but the laborious elForts to
launch this enormous 'Leviathan,"'
aa she was at lirst called, in 1S57,
from Mr. Scott-Russell's building yard
at Millwall. hid beeu ominous of ill
access. Men were killed by the
breaking of the gear at; ached to
hydraulic engines that slowly pushed
her. broadside on, into the compara
tively narrow river, and Mr. Brunei,
the eminent tngiueer, dyinj; a few
days afterward, was thought to be a
yictim f sore anxiety and severe dis
appointment. One serviceable and honorable per
formance, the layinjr of au Atlantio
telegraph cable in 18C6, is set down to
the credit of the Orat Eastern; but
experience hat shown that vessels of
moderate size can do such work as
well. It is a sad chapter in the his
tory of marine architectnre, and some
people must have lost at one time and
another nearly $1,000,000 altogther
by this one mistake. The Gr.at
Eastern might perhaps have been con
verted into a very commodious float
ing hotel, moored in some tranquil
bay. She could never have been a
good sea-going ship, or competed in
speed, comfort or safety with the ad
mirable "liners" of receut construc
tion. Her engines, indeed, were
manifestly of insufficient power, and
she rolled grievously for lack of a
