"J. M. Danziger"
The "J. M. Danziger" is a single screw bulk oil steamer built by the Cramp Company for the Pan American Petroleum and Transport Company, and was delivered to them on August 16, 1916.
This vessel was built on the Isherwood system to Lloyds' highest classification, and has two complete steel decks from stem to stern, with raised forecastle, bridge and poop decks.
The principal dimensions are as follows :
The hull of the vessel is built of steel throughout, the pilot house and interior of living quarters only being of wood. The vessel is schooner rigged, having two steel masts, with wood topmasts, and four cargo booms (two on each mast).
A steel deck house will be erected on bridge deck for the accommodation of the captain and deck officers. A steel house will be built on the poop deck for the accommodation of officers and petty officers' mess rooms. Accommodations are provided in the after part of the ship for chief engineer, assistant engineers, petty officers, firemen and crew.
The living quarters throughout are fitted in first class style, and provided with every convenience, such as first class plumbing, heating systems, electric lights, first class galleys, pantries, and mess rooms, with suitable cold storage accommodations and two ton ice plant for refrigerating same.
The propelling machinery will consist of a vertical, inverted, triple expansion engine, having cylinders 27" x 451/2" x 76" in diameter with 51" stroke.
Steam will be provided by three single-ended Scotch boilers, fitted with heated force-draft, and so arranged that either coal or oil can be used as fuel.
Two pumps of heavy pattern are provided for handling the bulk-oil cargo, with a complete system of piping and valves for stowing and unloading oil from every compartment throughout the vessel.
This vessel, which is one of two constructed at Cramp's shipyard, is one of the finest bulk-oil steamers in the oil carrying trade.
