Scott Russell and Co...the appearance of the ship, stretching over long rows of buildings, is most extraordinary: and great as its present length, the vessel is still growing at both the head and stern, it requiring 50 feet at one end and 70 feet at the other - in all 120 feet to complete the work...[it would] carry 800 first-cass, 2000 second-class, and 1200 third class passengers, making a total of 4000, independently of the crew.
