Bulk-heads. some of the iron ships have adopted the admirable chinese plan of dividing the hold athwart-ship by strong water-tight bulk-heads, into compartments, so that a leak in any one of them does not communicate with the others—thus strengthening a vessel, besides adding to its security. compartment bulk-heads were first directed to be fitted under the superintendence of commander belcher in h.m. ships erebus and terror at chatham, for arctic service in 1835. h.m.s. terror, commander back, was saved entirely owing to this fitment, the after section being full of water all the passage home; and lately the mail packet samphire was similarly saved.
