Plan and Sections of the Life-boats adopted by the Royal National Life-boat Institution... 1858. Creator: Unknown
Plan and Sections of the Life-boats adopted by the Royal National Life-boat Institution, designed by James Peake, Esq... 1858. In figs, 1 and 2, the elevation and deck-plans, the general exterior form of the boat is shown...The dotted lines of fig. 1 show the position and dimensions of the air-chambers...and of the relieving-tubes. In fig. 2, A represents the deck, B the relieving-tubes...C the side air-cases, D the end air-chambers. In fig. 3, the exterior form of transverse sections...is shown. Fig. 4 represents a midship transverse section - A being sections of the side air-cases, B the relieving-tubes...C C are spaces beneath the deck...D is a section of a small draining-tier, having a pump in it, by which any leakage can be pumped out by one of the crew whilst afloat...This class of life-boat possesses in the highest degree all the qualities which it is desirable that a life-boat should possess - viz. great lateral stability, speed against a heavy sea, facility for launching and for taking the shore, immediate self-discharge of any water breaking into her, the important advantage of self-righting if upset, strength, and stowage room for a number of passengers. They have hitherto been exclusively built by Messrs. Forrestt, of Limehouse'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
