Who would take notice of it in so\r\ngreat a throng of ships of all sizes and of every country, that\r\ndry-docks covering two leagues scarcely contain them?\nNevertheless, from early morning on the 6th of April, a large crowd\r\ncollected on the quays of the New Prince's Docks; all the sailors of\r\nthe place seemed to have assembled there. The workingmen of the\r\nneighboring wharves had abandoned their tasks, tradesmen had left\r\ntheir gloomy shops, and the merchants their empty warehouses. The\r\nmany-colored omnibuses which pass outside of the docks were\r\ndischarging, every minute, their load of sight-seers; the whole city\r\nseemed to care for nothing except watching the departure of the\r\nForward.\nThe Forward was a vessel of one hundred and seventy tons, rigged as\r\na brig, and carrying a screw and a steam-engine of one hundred and\r\ntwenty horse-power. One would have very easily confounded it with the\r\nother brigs in the harbor. But if it presented no especial difference\r\nto the eye of the public, yet those who were familiar with ships\r\nnoticed certain peculiarities which could not escape a sailor's keen\r\nglance.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 29413 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Verne, Jules \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 15, 2009 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllustrator\u003c\/b\u003e: Riou, Edouard, 1833-1900 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Verne, Jules,1828-1905 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219163185309,"sku":"gb-29413-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/29413.jpg?v=1671516646","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-voyages-and-adventures-of-captain-hatteras-gb-29413","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
