Shipbuilding in iron and steel / a practical treatise . . Fig. 59. was formed so as to successively butt first one side-bar, then thecentre keel-plate, and then the other side-bar. The plate markedB was lapped on the after end of the centre keel-plate, and wasdouble riveted to it. Its lower edge and after end Avere rabbetedinto the post, and riveted to it, thus completing the connectionof the keel and post. The stops for the garboard-strakes are ELEVATION, SECTION AT a. PLAN OFSCflRPH S. Fig. 6J. 58 Stern Posts. Chap. iv. marked A in the sketch. The connection of the stern post andside-bar keel of ship Orontes is given in Fig. side-bars terminated in plane scarphs, wliich fitted againstcorresponding scarphs in the fore end of the sole or keel-piece onthe post, and were through riveted. The butts of the bars gaveshift to each other, and to the butt of the centre keel-i)late, asshown in the plan. In this vessel the depth of the centre platewas the same as that of the side-bars, for about 11 feet of its afterpart from the station marked B. The transverse frames abaft thestuffing-box bulkhead were formed of deep-throated solid platesand angle-ii-ons. In order to keep up the longitudinal strengthand make a good connection, a horizontal stiffening-plate, 1 inchthick, was worked underneath the sole-piece and keel, and extendedabout 27 feet before the post. It was connected to the sole-piece,keel, and garboards, by angle-irons, 6 by 4^ by 1 inche
