Letter
WILLIAM HENRY THOMPSON, Commander Steamship Britannic to The Assistant Secretary Marine Department, Board of Trade, June 1, 1875
(M. 8292.) Messrs. Ismay, Imrie & Co. to Board of Trade.
White Star Line, Liverpool, June 1, 1875.
Sir: In compliance with your circular, M. 2626, we requested the captains and two senior officers of our Atlantic steamers to express their views, in writing, on the question of sound-signals.
They are all men who have had considerable and varied experience, and as their own words will convey the best estimate of their opinion, we have the pleasure to hand you herewith verbatim copies of their replies, which we hope will prove both interesting and useful to the rule of the road commission, which is about to consider the important question of sound-signals.
We remain, &c.,
ISMAY, IMRIE, HU GHES & CO.
The Assistant Secretary Marine Department, Board of Trade.
