Sailed the First Steamboat INTO INC "c'"e
Can't. Samuel G. Morton. who is respon-
sble for the navigation of the speedy Sandy
Hook in her daily runs between this city
and the Atlantic Highlands, took the first
steamboat from these waters into the IA
cific. She was called the Senator, and was
built by George Collier at his famous ship
yard in williamsburg She was launched
in lS41, but did not start on her long Jour
ney until lS4S. She would not have gone
then were it not for the gold fever. The
craft was 100 feet long, with beam OF q
feet and draft of Z feet inches.
Captain Morton grows very enthusiastic
when he speaks of the trip of the Senator.
Because of her inability to carry much
coal it was decided to put three masts in
her and sail her around, he says. The ma
chinery was slowed in her hold. She was
given eleven sails, five OF which were
square rugged. A big number of gold
hunters went along in the vessel rs pas
sengers. The weather was found to be toe
bad to venture around Cape Horn, so t
passage was made through the Straits Of
Magellan. The craft reached the Sacra
meuto river without losing rs much as {
rope. She was the first steamboat tina,
ever navigated that stream.
