TO DOCK FOR OVERHAUL
LINER QUEEN MARY HULL TO BE SCRAPED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, November 18. _ The ‘ Daily Telegraph ’ says the liner Queen Mary will dock by December 20 for a six weeks’ overhaul. The docking charges alone will exceed £21,000. No important changes will be made in the structure or the machinery, but the hull will be scraped and reooated with an anti-fouling composition. At present the hull is thickly coated with preservative paint, a factor which reduces her speed. Its removal may improve her performance.
