The Indo-China Steamship Navigation Ca, was host yesterday afternoon, at a reception held aboard the newest addition to the already large Ewo fleet, the s. Ming Sang, which, recently bought by the company, has been completely refitted and redecorated prior to being put into service. With a gross tonnage of 3,500 tons, the Ming Sang is 329 feet in length and is capable of accommo dating 36 passengers in the first-class alone.
A. special feature of the new vessel, is the large amount of deck space which will not only permit comfortable walking but also affords the facilities of various deck-games being played.
The Ming Sang prides itself of having a large, airy and well lighted dining saloon and a very comfortable lounge besides spacious glassed-in decks, which are bound to make this steamship one of the most popular ones on the coastal run.
The latest in navigation, fire-detection and anti-piracy devises have been incorporated in the Ming Sang which will only go further to maintain the company's unsurpassed passenger and cargo service along the coast.
