Talk:Morse Dry Dock and Repair Company

"The Morse company installed the ship with 6,500 such bunks in 1919."
You could say:
 * "The Morse company installed 6,500 such bunks in 1919."
 * "The Morse company equipped the ship with 6,500 such bunks in 1919."
 * "The Morse company installed 6,500 such bunks in the ship in 1919."

but the sentence as written is not English -- the ship should not be the direct object of "installed". . . Jim - Jameslwoodward (talk to me • contribs) 10:46, 3 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Why would it be correct for "equipped" but not for "installed"? Gatoclass (talk) 13:44, 3 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Because you "equip x with y" -- "Joe equipped his house with a smoke alarm"
 * but you "install y in x" -- "Joe installed a smoke alarm in his house".
