TitleEastern Steam Navigation Company: Specification of iron-work to be done in the ship for which materials have yet to be obtained
DescriptionThe list divides up the ship into ten compartments and the forecastle. The compartments appear to be divided up according to annotations on a set of master plans. The list includes quantities of beams, columns, steps, platforms, plates, and screws of differing dimensions. There are no entries in the columns for weight, price per ton and total price but the left-hand margin has sketches demonstrating the shapes of specific beams and elements that are being described. There is a final draft abstract with columns indicating the price of iron-work for each of the compartments and the forecastle but this has not been filled in. There are pencil annotations on the first page, with one of the annotations indicating the date.
