The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1868-12-24
Yesaals Owned at Kannsha

Vessels Owned at Kenosha.
The past season has witnessed o marked
improvement in both the quality ard
number of vessels owned at this port. These
additions are gratifying as they are unt&s-
taxable evidences of progressive business.
Among the vessels owned here, there is not
one that could be properly called an "old
hulk" and while three or four of the number
would rate A /, we believe none would go
below B ], upon survey. All are substantial
serviceable vessels, and e few of them are not
readily surpassed upon the lake, in their
build. their outfit, or their sea going qualities
Last season we had but one tug but this
season the powerful and "well-found" tug, b
w. Azdrtch, has been built for owners living
at Kenosha. The tug AEdrieh would be an ad-
dition to any port in which she might ply in
the business for which she was constructed.
We give below the names of the tugs and
sailing vessels owned and in winter quarters
at this port; their capacity, and the names OF
owners and sailing masters

man. Mastsr, 7 M. Ackernlan. The Aldricf
is seventy feet in length, over all. Her well
made double engines, square, and 16 inchs,
diameter, are estimated at ITO horse power
The tag Gem, owned by Capt. T. NJ Acker
man and O. NJ. Calkins, of this place and
commanded By Byron Alderman, is laid uI
at Holland, on the opposite side of the lake
There are other vessels owned in part o.
wholly here, among which may be named The
D. e. Mason and Seneca Chief that are laid ul
at other ports.
OF the vessels that sailed from this port in
the spriug, we believe the Dewitt and the
Eric are the only ones that have been lost
With the exception of some nhshap to The
Seneca Chief, no accident has occurred to any
other of the Kenosha vessels To all Others
it has been a season of prosperous Winds
and 'favorng tides.'
In our netice of the Rouse Simmons, few
days ago, there occurred enc or two errors
/ that we take this occasion to correct. Her
length of keel instead OF being 110 feet, is in
fact 1l9 feet and we intended to name Capt.
T. NJ. Alderman as the watcbful guardian
over the travail which brought her forth
II is good beginning for q 'Keaosha feet, !"
and our citizens may we'll respect the owners
for their enterprise. We wish both the own
ers and the vessels a long period of usefulness
In the future, and we hope the former may be
able years hence to say
Our bonnie boats with yielding spray,
Rock lightly OIL the tide.
