LAUNCHES.
The new motor launch "George Briggs" was delivered in October, and has done
good work since in inspection of vessels lying in the Upper District. The launch fulfils
all requirements in that district, is easily handled and speedy. Being of shallow
draught the advantages in this respect over the old steam launches have already been
proved. Creeks can now be visited, also vessels lying in shallow water during the ebb
tide.
The steam launch "Denton" has been sold, and the "Clotho" is at present,
pending sale, being used as a reserve. For this the old launch is very useful, being a
good sea-boat, can be used even in bad weather on the Gravesend Station when the
larger launches have to lay-by for overhaul.
(c) Includes Training Ship "Warspite," 209 persons.
(d) Includes Training Ships "Arethusa" and "Chichester," 240 persons.
