EARLY NAVIGATION OF THE OHIo.-LoDg
before steamboats, had broken with their
pulings the soIludes Of the river Ohio's
shores, ship vessels had passed down that
stream from Marietta, and even from points
higher up the Ohio.
Sea vessels were built at Marietta as early
as 1901. The ST. Clair, brig Of 100 tons
burlhen, reached Cincinnati on the 9Th OF
April, of that year, completely rigged and
ready for sea service, freigh,ed with coun-
try produce, and bound for the West Indiu
Islands.
Her arrival at Cincinnati was hailed by
crowds, assembled on the river banks. all
eager TO view such prestige Of the growth
Of the West. But this was not the first sea
vessel which went down the Ohio. In 1900
schooner built al Elizabethtown, on the
river Monongahea, called the Monongahe!a
Farmer, was launched and equipped for sea
service. She was freigh,ed with seven hun.
dred and twenty barrels of -four at Eliza.

her wUy down, two thousand bear and four
thousand deer skins, oil for the New Orleans
market.
She was owned in shares by an associa.
ton Of neighboring farmers, and command.
ed by Capt John Walker, by whom she had
been built, and left EIizobethtown on the
l7lh Of May, reached Louisville on the 10Th
OF June, where she was detained on account
Of tho low stage Of water until q rise in the
ensuing January enabled her to cross the
Falls and reach Louisiana. Tho vessel
made several trips as packet between New
Orleans and New York, making one "trip
from New York TO the Baize in twelve
days; an extraordinary passage, being the
quickest ever known OF that dale-180l.
One other statistic respecting Capt Walker
is worthy of notice. SiXty.lhree years age
he brought oul TO Pittsburgh tho first print
ing press for the West, being that on which
John Scul for years printed the Pittsburgh
Gazette
Wha, a picture Of Western progress is
afforded in The fact that all the mighty
changes which have occurred in the polili-
cal, social and intellectual condition Of the
West, have taken place within the lifetime
of individuals yet alive, and who were ole
enough 10 have taken part in these changes
