Maine, April 9.— The schooner Bowdoin. built to carry Donald B. MacMillan, the explorer, on his next Arctic voyvage, starting in July, was launched noon today from the shipyard of Hodgdon Broth- eri here. in design and construction Bowdoin embodies all elements the of | special provision for the work ahead | of her, suggested by the long experi- | cnce of MacMillan, who was the chief lieutenant of ¥ ry in his successful expedition to orth Pole. Her hull is described b he explorer as egg-shaped with nothing to which ice can cling. Under sufficient pressure from the ice floes the Bowdoin Instead of being erushed. should lift out of watér and be carried along with the, pack. Conversely the explorer says that if she rolls up on the ice she will | as safely slip back when the pressure | is relieved through the shifting of the floes. The bow has been built with a slope that will facilitate running up on the ice. MacMillan Pleasrd. So confident is MacMillan of the schooner’'s ability to cope with the frozen channels of the Far North that he plans to pass through the danger- ous fury and Hecla strait on the west side of Baffinland where former ex- peditions have been lost or turned back. His plans include also either a return by the strait or the circum- navigation of Baflinland after explor- ing a stretch of 1,000 miles of its western shore on which it is believed no white man has ever set foot. It is said to be the longest strip of un- explored coast in the world. Studies made by Dr. MacMillan of the narrow strait on previous visits to the north figured somewhat in fix- ing the size of the new vessel as there appears to be only a rift in the iee there even at the most favorable sea- son. the 80 Feet Long. The Bowdoin is of about the size of the Discovery. Willlam Baffin's ship, which in 1616 was the first to reach Baffinland. She is 80 feet 10 inches in length; 19 feet 7 inches beam: and § feet § inches draft, with a total displacement of 115 tons. She is of the knockabout auxiliary schoon- er type equipped with a 45-horsepow- er crude oil burning engine, an instali- ation .which the explorer hopes will insure him a cruising radius virtvally unlimited by the use of whale oil to supplement the regular fuel supplv. If the plan to use whale oil proves practicable he says the expedition will have a clear advantage over former ones in which fuel supply has been a serious problém. The schooner will have a generous spread of canvas to enable her to sail home when clear of ice should the | fuel supply give out. Hull Bailt Strong. The staunchness of the hull is as- sured by a heavy frame planked with three inch white oak to which has ben added at the waterline a five foot belt of greenheart of ironwood. This armor js said to withstand the grind- ing action of ice better than steel or any other material as the ice mierely polishes its hard surface. When win- ter sets in, a three foot covering of snow and ice will be placed over the entire ship With snow houses after the Eskimo style to cover the hatch- ways. . Two Years’ Trip. . The expedition is planned to cover two years but may be prolonged if it is desired to carry theexplorations and scientific investigations further. It will go unler the.auspices of the Mac- Millan Arctic association,! largely composed of alumni of Bowdoin col- lege from which MacMillan as well as Peary wero graduated. The ship has cost $25,000 and her equipment wiH add $15,000 to this amount. The party will consist besides. Dr. MacMil- lan of an engineer, three scientists and a cook.
