ARRIVAL OF AN IRoN STEAMBOAT
An experimental steamboat, built to run
on the Delaware and Raritan canal, has
just arrived in this port from London
after a, passage of forty-fve days. The
name of the vessel is the Robert L. Stock
ton,. an iron schooner, fitted with Captain
EEricson's patent engine, and commanded
| by Captain John r. Crane, an intrepid
and skHful seaman. She came out under
canvass, without the aid of steam Hel
departure from London was looked upon
as an act of iemerity in Captain Crane
whose success, however, has fully just
fed his reliance on his own skill and the
capacity of his vessel to brave the storms
of the Atlantic.
The Stockton is, we believe, the frs
vessel of this kind ever seen in America
She is built entirely Of iron, the piece
being rivetted together; is rated ffteel
tons, and is seventy-one feet long, Will
her breadth at midships is only ten feet
1t was this disproportion which cause
the voyage to be considered so hazardous
The steam engine is placed at the stern
which Captain Crane considers an ad
vantageous mode of construction in steam
boats intended for the open sea.-N. Y
