B HE Author, in introducing this work, trusts that his endeavour will meet with the ^ approbation of the public. The greatest care has been taken to make it a substantial authority and reference to date regarding our Men-of-War and Mercantile Marine Steamers, available, if needed, as armed Cruisers and Transports ; over 80 of the former and many of the latter are Illustrated, as well as latest additions (as far as obtainable) of several Foreign Navies, from photographs taken by Messrs. West & SON, of Southsea. The need of a powerful Navy cannot be too strongly impressed on the British Public, and with that object in view I have endeavoured to show clearly our real strength in comparison with Foreign Powers. The dependence on the Navy to defend our Ports at home, our Colonies, and Coaling Stations, and above all our immense and ever-increasing Shipping Trade, cannot be over-estimated. We must not overlook the fact that other Nations, particularly France and Russia, have also very fine Navies, which are really in proportion to their interests superior to our own ; whereas we shall have to distribute our Navy over a large portion of the globe, for defending our commercial interests, they, with so little at stake in comparison, would, after providing relatively the same protection for their shipping, have sufficient vessels to spare to render our position exceedingly serious and risky. The public should be thoroughly roused to the fact that our Navy must be in a position to cope with a combination of any two foreign Navies ; others can see how absolutely dependent we are on our ships to bring raw material for our various industries, as well as breadstuffs and provisions for our food. INTRODUCTION. vii. A more adequate defence of our shipping interests is therefore of vital importance ; moreover, the fact of our being unprepared and weak would constitute the greatest danger to the peace of the world. France, for example, with a Navy not so very inferior to our own in strength, has to defend only about \\ million tons of shipping, while we have to protect the enormous amount of 12 million tons; in proportion, therefore, our Navy is far inferior to that of France, and England may one day have reason to lament her culpable negligence when it is too late. In turning over the pages of this work the reader will be able to gauge the whole question himself, and if he beheved before in curtailing our Navy, he will probably be of a very different opinion after he has carefully considered the material now placed before him.

Belt, 230 ft., and breadth, 8 ft. 6 in., and forms with the boundary bulkheads the lower citadel ; the side is thus protected 5 ft. 6 in. below water, and 3 ft. above water; the plating varies from 20 to 14 in., tapering at the lower edge from 8 to 6 in., while the bulkheads are armoured by 16 and 14 in. plating forward and aft respectively, tapering downwards to 7 in, It will be seen that each of the ends are denuded of vertical armour for the space of 58 ft. (fifty-eight feet) ; they are, however, protected by a 3 in. (three inch) sloping steel deck in continuation of the belt. Above the lower or belt citadel is the citadel proper, 141 ft. long, at the sides of the ship, but having an extreme length from the centres of the curved bulkheads of 193 ft. The plating varies from 18 to 16 in., the thickness of bulkheads to protect bases of turrets being reduced to 8 in. Main deck between the ends of citadel and end of armed belt is covered with two thicknesses of steel plating. These figures will give an idea of the defensive capacity of the ship — in reality the protection is of still greater solidity owing to backing, &c. Both Turrets and Guns are worked by hydraulic power. Turrets are built at each end of citadel, and armoured to the thickness of 18 in., and will mount together four 67-pounder breechloaders] Upon the citadel is a box battery, pierced for six 4-7-in. 45-pounder Q.F. Guns. The ship has also seventeen 6-pounders and 3-pounders, Q.F. Guns, four M. Guns, and eight Tubes for discharging Torpedoes.

Insurances are granted on Property situate in all parts of the British Dominions, and in most Foreign Countries, at rates which are computed according to the actual risk incurred. The Company has already paid over £8,250,000 for Claims under its Fire Policies. The Company offers the advantages of perfect Security, with great Economy in management, and Moderate Rates of Premium. The total expenses in the year 1894 were slightly under 7 per cent, of the Income from Premiums and Interest, or, excluding Commission paid to Agents, less than 4 per cent. In the Participation Branch the whole of the ascertained surplus at each valuation belongs to the Assured. The amount for the Quinquennium ending 31st December, 1890, was sufBcient to provide a Bonus of £1 lis. per cent, per annum upon the sum Assured, or £7 15s. per cent, for the whole Quinquennium, besides leaving £11,182 to be carried forward. The Liabilities were ascertained by the well-known combination of the Institute of Actuaries Hm. (5) and Hm. Tables of Mortality, with only 3 per cent, assumed as the rate of Interest to be in future earned by the funds, which are acknowledged to be very rigorous data for the purpose. AD VER TIS E MENTS . THIEl White Star Line (©aank StBam Jlaiiigatintt ©nittfranj, f itttitjetr), OHE OF THE GREATEST SHIPPING CONCERNS OF THE DAY, Includes in its Fleet the celebrated Mercantile Armed Cruiser " Teutonic," inspected by the German Emperor and the Prince of Wales, at the Spithead Review in August, 1889; her sister the "Majestic," and other large Steamers, making a total of 110,000 tons, exclusive of a Fleet of Sailing Vessels, also under the management of the firm of Messrs. ISMAY, IMRIE & Co., 34, Leadenhall Street, London, E.G., and 10, Water Street, Liverpool. The name of the WHITE STAR LINE has been for so many years a household word, and the running of its Steamers so indispensable a feature of the social life of the two hemispheres, that it is not without surprise that one learns the Pioneer Steamer " Oceanic " was launched so recently as 1870. But the flag is older than the line of Atlantic Steamers: it first floated over a fleet of swift sailing ships which half a century ago carried the mails to Australia, and Mr. T. H. Ismay, who was from early life connected with the shipping trade, bought this Australian line. The White Star Line has carried the British Mails to New York, under contract with H.M.'s Post Office, since 1877. The follo'wing is a list 0/ the WHITE STAR Fleet of Steamships STEAME R.
