It will be built by Lawley and Son of South Boston and, although resembling the old launch in general outline, it will have various improvements. The boat will be fifty-one feet in length, seven feet and ten inches in beam, and will draw thirty-six inches of water at low draft. The boiler and engine will be larger than in the "Frank Thompson," and a sustained speed of sixteen and one half miles an hour will thus be possible. The cost of building the boat...
...ready for use by March 10 unless weather prevents the trial run. Much aid in drawing the plans was derived from a thesis written last spring by two Scientific School students. This thesis contains a complete and scientific account of the machinery and rates of speed of the "Frank Thompson" and offers valuable hints for the building of the new boat. A Herreschoff launch with a speed of twenty knots has been hired for the use of the crews until the new boat is finished...
...launch "Frank Thompson," which was drawn up beside the boat-house for the winter, was also burned. It was insured for its full cost of $6500. The hull was wholly burned, but some of the machinery may be used. Immediate steps were taken to secure a new boat which will probably be built by Lawley and finished by April 1.
