One of two. Marine, 16ft. 6in. long, 8ft. 4in. diameter. Tube of irregular shape, about 2ft. 10in. high, 3/8 inch plates, 27 lbs. pressure. The gauge was so much out of order, that it only showed 24 lbs. under a real pressure of 80 lbs. The safety valve was defective and overloaded, and the pressure was sufficient to collapse and rupture the side flue, and the contents rushed out at the front.
