The clipper-ship The Royal Edward, built for the Red Cross Australian Line, 1864. We this week give an Engraving of the new iron sailing-ship Royal Edward, of 3500 tons burden, and classed A 1 twenty-two years, built by Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, and Co., London Yard Ironworks, Isle of Dogs, for Messrs. Fernie Brothers, and Co., of Liverpool, and forming one of the Red Cross line of packets to Australia, dispatched from London by Messrs. Charles Walton and Co. The Royal Edward is commanded by Captain John Shaw, late of the clipper-ship Empire of Peace, and is of the following dimensions: Length, 223 ft. 6in.; 36 ft. beam, and 24 ft. depth of hold. She is built in five water-tight compartments, and, besides being a very handsome model, possesses the novel feature of having steel bowsprit, masts, and yards, ensuring great strength, with lightness aloft, which, by increasing her stability, makes her more seaworthy in rough weather. She has admirable accommodation for passengers, as well as large capacity for cargo. The construction of this vessel has given such satisfaction to her owners that they have ordered a sister ship of Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, and Co., which is now in course of construction.
