whilst the boilers were built by the
Vulcan Iron works, Ltd., In Vancou
ver.
Though designed primarily for
passenger service, the new steam
ship will have freight capacity for
600 tons, and cold storage capacity
for about two carloads, thus making
her especially servicable for any run.

forepeak to the afterpeak, her tanks

tops run directly out to the side of
the ship, she has numerous water
tight compartments and water tight
