decision to construct all engines and machinery for ships of war abroad, with greater portion to england and share to germany.
Event Details
In consequence of successive failures of engines constructed in Russia, all engines and machinery for ships of war are in future to be constructed abroad. This decision has been arrived at with the approval of Admiral Popoff, who is chagrined at the manner in which his pet ideas have been mutilated at the native engineering establishments. The greater portion of this work will of course go to England, but Germany is also likely to get a good share of it. It is to be regretted that the state of engine building for ships is not so far advanced in this country as to enable our builders to get a share of the work.
