A New Naval Menace.
During the summer of 1907 the
German armored cruiser Bremen
visited Montreal, remaining a week
or two, and many citizens took ad
vantage of Ahe opportunity to see
what this sample of Germany’s sea
f;oing fighting machinery looked
ike.
Among them was one of Canada’s
budding civil engineers with a com
panion. They were particularly im
pressed by the massive and wicked
looking solid steel ram that project
ed from the bow, coining to a point
just at the water line.
They stood staring for some mo
ments at this terrible beak, one of
them pacing off on the wharf the
length of the ram. Then as they
sauntered away the young engineer
voiced his pent-up feelings, “My,
that would tear a fellow’s pants,
wouldn’t it ?”
