We would advise our readers to take a view
of these fine craft before they leave this port.
They are well worthy visit. They will be
found lying at Custom House, Central, Wild
ery's and Deake's Wharves. In mentioning
the weight of anchors we refer only to the two
largest anchors carried by each vessel We
should have liked to have given other statistics
in regard to them, but had not space.
