Fullagar, now known as Shean, was launched in 1920; vessel has several times been aground and on each occasion, later examination showed keel and bottom plating to have stood severe conditions without ill effect; after more than 11 years of service it has been impossible to trace any undue corrosion in welded structure; experiences form remarkable demonstration of possibilities of electric welding in ship construction and valuable tribute to methods and materials of Quasi-Arc Co.
