Stability of Damaged Vessels.
It has been stated in reference to the construction of longitudinal balkheads in ships, that they are the direct cause of her capsizing |should the hull on onn.elds be damaged. In warshipa particular- |ly there are numerous longitudival divisions, and it can hardly be said that adequate means ATO

It is, however, often sasumed that ships without longitudinal sub. division will not capsize when jdamaged; this may be very far from the truth, and sinds the outbreak of war examples are not wanting of merchant ships
fitted capaising when

Ouri- and to a lesser degree on the ously enough, before the war, all the evidence taken by the Balk- head Committes showed no in atances of merchant vesselscapeiz. ing after damage. It was no loss trae then than it is now, that an ores of waterplane may be open to the sea of sufficient aizs to cause the stability of the ship to become negative, with the result that she would capsize. It in' |fortunate that, gonerally, when the damage received is not anficient to sink the vessel entirely, her sta bility will remain positive: but should the damage be such that the buoyancy lost is greater than the reserve buoyancy to the bulk bead dook it is quite likely that the stability will be impaired and the vessel capsize quickly rather than settle down bodily, which latter would be a much slower process and give more time for the passengera and crew to escape. It is quite certain that anything that can be done to prevent a vessel papsizing after she is damaged would help trem endously in the direction of saving the lives of passengers. The whole question is one of atability. Once the vessel com- mences to capsize, all the open-
