FIREPROOF and unsinkable, the new hospital ship of the St. John's Guild, New York City, represents the maximum in safety for passengers afloat. The ship will be used to take the sick and poor children, together with their mothers, on health giving cruises in New York harbor and up the Hudson river.
There are 25 separate compartments in the watertight subdivision of the craft, more than enough to keep the vessel afloat in the event the hull is crushed in a collision. The ship could be cut in two at any point along her length, and both sections would remain afloat and on an even keel.
The entire hull and all furniture and interior appointments are made of metal or other fireproof materials.
