Lansing Beats (Special to The Bulletin.) The big steamship Lansing was launched Tuesday morning at_10.53, just two hours end thirty-five minutes ahead of schedule time, from the vard of the Ship Construction and Trading company, at Stonington. In quence there was disappointment for the launching party that came from New Yorlk, representing the owning company and friends, a_large party of ladies and gentlemen. When they ar- rived the Lansing was floating as graceful as & swan, in Stonington har- bor, made fast to & bunch of spiles, just opposite the sbipyard., The par- tv, however, ascehded to the launch- ing platform, with little Dorothy Mer- canderite, sponsor for the Lansing, and were pictured by the cemara men. One of the latter, @ movie-picture- man, was quick cnough to catch u good view of the steamship when she fook the sudden slide down the ways and before she went into the water. Therefore the opportunity to show the launching, by a combination of the pictures, is not lost to the fim world. The premature launching was ab- solutely necessary under the . condi- tions and were it not done, the Italian steamship, like the - American flag, would be still there. Workmen had removed the blocking aft, and wer “rallying” well past amidships, whe life was noticed -in the big ship, for she quivered and showed signs of res- tlessness. The launching cradle creakel and Foreman Robert Paterson real- ized that something must be done, and done quickly, or there was liabilit; the vegsel settling, which would mean that there would be jacking up of th big crart, the rebutlding-of @ launch- ing cradle, and an immense bill of c pense. There was a_quivering dead Weight of, 2,800 tons,. held at _the bow by What ik known to shipyatd men as keys, on éither side.

The ways were not injured by the premature launch. nor was the vessel, and not a solitary workman received the slightest inju The Lansing is the’ heaviest ship ever launched at Stonington, and ny vesgel ever slid down the greased ma- rine raijways any morée majestically or_ beautifully. 4 The section of the yard where Lansing was launched has not the convenjende for launching that pro- vails in the adjoining yard of the em- jergency fleet. There the launch is made complete from the land; but at the yard of the Ship Construction and | Trading Company, the stern of a shio the size of the Lansing is submerged, except at low water. That was a rea- son why dunnage had to be removed from the stern several hours: before the time zet for the launching and, perhaps aided in the premature launching. The Lansing is a noble-losking ship, and is believed to be staunch and true, competent to battle with the se- wind and sea. She is owned by the Nafra Italiana, 8. A, of Milan, jor perhaps more correctly by Charles Mereedante, father of the sponser. She -will hail from Genoa, Italy, and 11 be used as & cargo ship mainly between New York and Italy. © The dimensions of tie Lansing are: Length over ail, 272 feet; length | pendicutar, 252 feet; breadth, 40.5 feet: ydepth 23 feet: gross tonnage 2240 tons; net tonnage., 1526 tons; dead weight, 3300 tons. The Lansing was formerly a lake steamer. She was in collision with a lighter in New York harbor, was raised, purchased by Charles W. Torse and towed to Noank. There she was purchased at United States mar- shal sale by Captain F. H. Meader, of { Boston, superintendent the ington vard and who supervised the i the ship, und, the of Frederic G. Fulton, management | ident of the Ship Construction & rading company, with H. R. Stamm, as mechanical engineer and architect, The ship was purchased by Mr. Mer- cadante when first taken to Stoning- ton, some two vears ago, work being Jelayed by reasen of the war. The is practically new, being about nine-tenths rebuilt. She is equipped with machinery and engineer and is about ready for deep sea service, Soon after the time scheduled for the launching, the visiting party and guests, took dinner at the Stonington Manor Jun, and later in the after- noon tliere was reception and public inspection aboard the steamship. which had been towed to a position near the breakwater. At this recep- tion, iss Mercedante, the sponsor, presented sive silver loving-cup | to the Lancastgr. Refreshments were served and a concert given by the Stonington band.
