The steam-ship Europe, 1871. A very fine steam-ship was lately built for the trade between Great Britain and India by the new route of the Suez Canal. It is the Europe, belonging to Messrs. Ryde and Co., Fenchurch-street. We give an Illustration of this vessel. Her dimensions are 335 ft. in length, 40 ft. in breadth of beam, and she draws, when loaded, 20 ft. 6 in. of water. Her registered capacity of burden is 2350 tons. She is fitted with a screw-propeller, and with engines nominally of 350-horse power, working up to 1650-horse power, indicated, but consuming only seventeen tons of coal daily. There is accommodation for sixty-five first-class and fifty-five second-class passengers, with perfect ventilation, and all the arrangements for their comfort in a hot climate. She was constructed, and her engines were manufactured, by Messrs. Robert Napier and Sons, of Glasgow, expressly for the trade in which she is now employed, going to Colombo, Madras, and Calcutta, through the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
