Morning's specifications

[edit]

I've tried to fill the infobox with Morning's specifications but I'm not familiar with all the various different terms so I may have made a mistake. Here's the description I was using, so someone else can correct things as necessary.

Her length is 140 feet, breadth 31½ feet, and depth 16½ feet. Her gross tonnage is 437, and her registered tonnage 297… The Morning altogether can carry 318 tons of coal besides her deck load, and 107 tons of provisions. She is barque-rigged, has a good auxiliary engine and two boilers, and can steam 8 knots. Her light draught is 15½ feet after and 12 feet forward; loaded, 19 feet after and 17 feet forward.
