...foot longer than that lately built for the Freshmen, and three feet longer than the standard length, though the width has not been changed. Its dimensions are: Length, 64 feet 1-2 inch; beam, 23 inches; depth amidships, 9 1-2 inches; at bow, 5 inches; at stern, 4 inches. It is slightly fuller than the old model, with more flooring.
