Abstract
THE Institution of Naval Architects departed this year 1 from their almost invariable custom of holding meetings in London, and had a most successful series of meetings at Liverpool. The papers read were few in number, but they were of special, and, in some cases, unusual interest. The meetings were attended by a large number of the Members of the Institution, as well as Liverpool scientific men, shipowners, underwriters, engineers, and others interested in the subjects of discussion. A local paper was read by Mr. G. F. Lyster, C.E., the Engineer to the Mersey Dock and Harbour Board, upon the Docks of Liverpool; Prof. F. Elgar read a paper upon “Losses of Life at Sea”; Mr. B, Martell upon “The Carriage of Petroleum in Bulk on Over-sea Voyages”; Mr. W. John upon “Atlantic Steamers”; and Mr. W. Parker on the “Progress and Development of Marine Engineering.”
