Deals with Scott Russell's work in designing and building screw colliers, in particular his lack of success in solving the problem of ballast inherent in the design of early screw steamers and the effect this had on his business; a comparison with the experience of Palmer Bros & Co of Jarrow [later Palmer's Shipbuilding & Iron Co Ltd]
