" Frcfm a Phoi(?^;^n2fh. By J^rfHisst\''H of thi ^lirs^y D-. L STEAMSHIPS AND THEIR STORY 243 and general appearance of liners. The Silvertozvn, which was well-known on this work, is still afloat and to be seen in the West India Dock, London. Such modern cable-laying ships as the Faraday are further supplied with platforms which project from the side of the ship at the stern for greater convenience in the work for which these vessels are intended. As much as from three to four thousand sea-mile...s of telegraph cable can be carried by some of these ships, which, in addition to the bow fair-lead have a similar arrangement at the stem, and are supplied with all necessary grappling apparatus in case a broken cable has to be picked up.
Another special tj^e of steamship is the oil-tanker. Owing to the nature of her cargo a steamship that carries oil is far more Kable to disaster through combustion than even a cotton- ship. Oil is carried not in barrels, but in bulk. At one time it used to be carried by sailing ships in barrels, but this meant that a great deal of trouble and space were unnecessarily expended.
