Mizzenmast above deck 47 feet, mizzen topmast 48 feet 9 inches, spanker boom 38 feet, spanker gaff 27 feet. Stack was between main and mizzen masts and stood 16 feet 6 inches above its housing. The On a, at 177 feet between perpendiculars, can be compared with the first Mary and HeUn, which was 134 feet between perpendiculars, 30 feet 9 inches beam, 16 feet 10 inches depth of hold, displaced 496 tons light, 1002)^ tons at full load, and drew 16!^ feet at post. A design prepared for a whaler built at Bath, Maine, in 1880 showed dimensions of 142 feet 9 inches in length between perpendiculars, 27 feet 6 inches moulded beam, 16 feet 6 inches depth of hold, draught of about 17 feet 6 inches at post with full load and nominal horsepower was 250. In most of these American whalers the propeller could be hoisted into a well in the counter when imder sail, and also to protect it when in the ice pack. In the Orca the screw was 2-bIadecl, so as to be turned in line with the stern and rudder posts when the vessel was under sail or in the ice, but in general the lifting screw was favored in this class of vessel. These steam whalers were heavily planked and ceiled and were sheathed outside from k
