PLANS FOR VOYAGE OUT TO SEA
Giant Liner Queen Mary OUTCROP OF ROCK TO BE BLASTED AWAY 1 (British Official Wireless.) (Received August 30, 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, August 29. Although the giant Cunard-White Star liner Queen Mary is not due to leave Messrs. John Brown’s fitting basin at Clydebank for another nine months, the Clyde authorities have already almost completed preliminary plans for her voyage out to sea. As the channel between the basin and the “tail of the bank” is narrow and winding, it may be found best to use two tides and halt the ship for ten hours at Old Kirkpatrick. Awkward corners in the deep water channel are being dealt with, and in one place an outcrop of rock will have to be blasted away.
