The OLDEST SHIP AFLoAT.-A PhiJa
delphla paper reports that the bark True
Love, which has just arrived at that port
from Greenland, with a cargo of cryolite
is the Oldest vessel known. She is quite
primitive or peculiar in structure, having
been built in the year 1854, and is conse
quently 100 years old. In shape the bark
is very much like the one in which vii
liam Penn arrived at the time he made
the treaty with the Indians. The sides
batter inward to the top Of the gun vale
and this makes the vessel much broader
at the water line than on deck. This bark
was built in Philadelphia, but it canno
be ascertained with any degree of certain
ty at what particular point. The Custom
House register does not contain the rec
ord, because the vessel was built twelve
years before the beginning of the Ameri
can revolution. The bark was built f0l
parties residing in Hull, England, anC
still halls from that place, and for forty
seven years was engaged in the whaling
business in the northern seas, and appear
ed to be at home among the icebergs 0
the Arctic region. 1t is understood tina
the vessel has never required any consid
cradle repairs. The original timbers ap
pear to be as sound as The day they wer,
erected on the stocks in old Kensington
The bark registers 296 tons, but will Car
ry much more.
