Hold of the "Cornelius Grinnell" Line-Ship, 1850. The Cornelius Grinnell [is] owned by Messrs. Grinnell, Mintum, and Co. of Boston [USA], has lately been fitted out at that port, and is, "by all odds, " the strongest ship of her size ever built in that vicinity...The ceiling on the floor is 4½ in. thick, square fastened, with inch iron, and all the other ceiling, up to the deck, is 7½ in. thick, also square bolted; in a word, she is square fastened throughout. Forward she has seven hooks and pointers, and aft five, all of oak, and very closely bolted. About 10 ft. above the ceiling she has seven hold beams, viz. one before the foremast, three between it and the mainmast, and three between the main and mizen masts. These have standing, lodging, and hanging knees of oak, and pass through the midship stanchions, which are fitted to support them, and to extend to the beams above'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
