Enrly steam Navigation.

With the increase OF trade and pnpu-
lation there is progressive demand
for steam navigation facilities withou;
sufiicicncy of cargo and passengers 10
make s. venture pay or no help Of
bounty or subsidy when traffic is scarce,
financial success is out OF the Ques-
ton. Prejudice or ignorance may. how
ever. serve TO stop progress. The grand
treasurer OF Spain did not believe in
the safety OF vessels propelled by steam.
and he retarded the introduction OF
ships propelled by that sEcncy. Says
the Liverpool Journal OF Commerce:
"On June L.. l5iS, La SanriSSma
Trinadada. Of 200 tons, was driven NJ
the rate OF one league per hour In the
presence OF the Emperor Charles v.
his son Phillip IL and several high
dignitaries. The treasurer, Rarnse. he
lieyinG that a boiler used for such
purpose would burst. denounced the en-
terprise, but paid the inventor. Don
Blasco de Gallagher. his expenses.
From several official sources 1t Ia
made evident that the practical appll-
cation OF steam engine TO maratime
propulsion was an accomplished fact
three centuries ana nillI ago. Scl-
going steamships date from the build
ing of the James Watt by John Wood
& Co, In ISIS for the Leith and Lon
don trade. The Soho and Monarch
were subsequently constructed for the
same company. All three ships were
built at Grccnock. the birthplace Of
James Watt and OF William Laird, who
settled In Liverpool and established a
line of steamships from the Mersey 10
Dublin in 1S22.
The James Watt. Monarch and Soho
were purchased by the General Steam
Navigation company and employed in
their service for many years, Hull
and machinery did their work admira-
bly, They were built OF wood and had
paddle wheels. All three Were in cN-
is,ence few years back MS coal hulks.
The James Watt was the first deep
water steamship built in Europe. The

which came TO Europe, can scarcely he
called machine propelled vessel. but
