The remainder- of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of
a prof He dJ;'dwing of a vessel which had been prepared by
Capt. Easter. U5in'] the bask hull design for l'mNNATA'o'/KE'r
it has been ;JroposecJ to modify the upper deCk arran<;Jarnen:t
to allow for i'lPproximC\tely 60 feet of open decK: spa,ce at
the after end of the vessel. The passenger cabin ~sto
be shorten0d in length and widened out ,to the sidesar tl1e
vessel with outside ;;eating on q third deck above the P<lss",
engeJ;' cabin. The pilot house will be raised to allow for
v:l.sibility aft tQ the> stern. '
Several maj or questions came up which will be addressed tq
Blount Marine ~orpordtion. The first was that of access to
the en'Jine room. The pre,;ent design \-JOuld have a trunk i-n
the center of the deck to provide access to the engine room.
'{'his h0\4even,ould require uneven loading of the vosse,l when
One large truck :l.s c,"rried. It was deci,led to investi<]ate
the pOGsipil:l.ty of having ,an access to the ongine room bY
means of acceSS thro'Jgh a void space forward of the engine
room :l.t.self. The majol:' consideration here is the effect on
the gross tonnage calculations of the vessel.
'l;'he pqssenger' louncle arrdngement was also diScussed as:!.!:;'
was felt that doors should not be placed at the fot-wiirdend
of the cabin as th.y would be adversely affected by strong
w.inds and could be a potential souJ;'ce of injury to passehg...
ers. The proble~ here is the number and locations of means
of egress from the compartment. Considerable discussion
wa$ devoted tq this matter and that of the engine rOom hatch
mentioned above.

Another; :-catter which "Iill have to be resolved is that of fOr'@,
and aft wQight oistribution. As more weight wil+ b~ moved
forward in this new design, it is felt that the vesse+ wi+l
h,lOve a tendency to ride Jown by the bow. One proposec;l sol..
ution is to locate the main engine further aft~
