The reinforced concrete ferry- boat built by Messrs Brossard, Mopin & Co, was launched on Wednesday night at Tanjong Bhoo says the "Singapore Free Press" of June 29. All precaut- ions had been taken. for a satis- factory launch and everything went on satisfactory until the boat was released on the launch- ing ways. Soon after it had started some part of the launch- ing ways gave way under the weight of the boat, with the result that the boat dropped from one of its aupports a considerable height, sustaining some local damage. However it reached the water and floated. It was thought after to ground the boat on the beach for the night, and on the following morning it was towed into dock at Keppel Harbour, where it is now lying dry. From a close inspection it appears that the damage is only a matter of a few weeks before this is put right sgain and the boat put into service. That the strain on the hull was very severe is shown by one of the launchways, 14 inches square, broken clean through at a point between two supports about four feet apart. All the technical men who witnessed the launching and afterwarde in-

But it has proved beyond doubt the qualities and great possibilities of reinforced concrete for boat construction. and has given confidence to the people who had doubts with regard to the behaviour of concrete boate when subjected to shooks or heavy strain.
