Ships Cover for the Royal Indian Marine iron troopship Clive (1882). The documentation in this short Cover relates to comparative statements of dimensions, weights and capacity (as submitted by various building firms tendering their design specifications), comparative stability calculations (between Clive herself and other troopships), details of anchors and cables to be supplied, and coal bunkerage and steaming endurance. In terms of date range, the papers cover the period from the early tenders in February 1880 to just before her final completion in April 1883.
