Framed Print of Swimming-bath of the training-ship Indefatigable at Liverpool, 1874. Creator: Unknown
Swimming-bath of the training-ship Indefatigable at Liverpool, 1874. The training-ship Indefatigable, in the Mersey, for the education of sailors orphan sons and others, has now a floating bath connected with it, in which the boys learn to swim. This structure was designed by Mr. W. R. M'Kaig, engineer, and Mr. J. Carlton Stiff. It was made at the Windsor Ironworks, Garston. The permanent moorings were provided by a donation from Mr. Albert Wood. Captain Gardner...superintended the construction. It is an iron cellular structure, the pontoons or compartments of which are so arranged as to inclose a space 50 ft. long by 20 ft. broad, which forms the water area. The depth at the shallow end is 3 ft. 6in. but at the deep end it can be regulated from 3 ft. 6 in. to 6 ft. 6 in. by means of an adjustable bottom or tray, hinged at one end and supported by chains at the other. The lifting power is supplied by two small worm-wheel and pinion apparatus. The bath is moored at one end, and swings with the tide. The water, entering at the deep end, passes out at the shallow; so that, as the bath is open to the sky, one may enjoy all the benefits of sea-bathing combined with the safety and comfort of an ordinary public plunge bath'.
