“Build me straight, O worthy master! Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel. That shall laugh at all disaster, And with wave and whirlwind wrestle” To triumph over all was the object Donald McKay had in view when he designed and built the “Great Republic,” the largest merchant ship in the world. It was a matter of justifiable pride with him that he had constructed a vessel, which for size, beauty and strength, excelled the finest specimens of marine architecture which ever floated upon the waters of the oceans. In an era of great clipper ships, the “Great Republic” indeed symbolized the growing strength and greatness of our country. She furnished tangible evidence of America’s resources and the enterprise of American mechanics. Her strong timbers told of our forests, and her fine lines and workmanship spoke loudly in praise of the genius and skill of our shipbuilders, from whose hands she sprung. She was truly a wonderful creation.

This ship has been newly coppered, and put in complete order. Her short passages, and the perfect delivery of car- goes, entitle her to a preference with shippers. Having large hatches, she can take bulky freight under deck. Two-thirds of her capacity is already engaged. For balance of Freight, apply to A. A.
