The New Cunarders.

It is difficult to realise the immensity of the proportions of these new liners. They will each be approximately 800 ft. in length, 88 ft. wide, by 60 ft. deep. They will displace 43,000 tons ; and in order to obtain the minimum speed of 24Iknots per hour, the gigantic turbines will develop some 80 000 horse power. If stood on end beside St. Paul's Cathedral they would tower to twice the height of that edifice, while if floated beside it the top of the masts would almost reach to the dome of the building. Their superiority in all dimensions over the largest existing vessels is complete.
