The Steamer o. II. Reed Purchased {. the
Perrysburg Route.
At last the hopes of the people of
PerrYsburg will be realized and a
steamer suitable foe the river trade
will be placed on the route between
Perrysburg and all river points next
season.
She is a si1e-wheel steamer, built
very much on the plan of the Pastime,
but not quite so large. She has double
engines, and is now making on her
regular route n speed of II miles per
hour. Her decks are large and her
cabins commodious and furnished in
suitable style for the comfort of pas
sengers in cold or stormy weather,
with steam heaters throughout.
She draws two and one-half feet of
water when loaded, and carries 500
passengers. During the winter her
prominade and hurricane decks will be
extended thus making her still more
commodious and comfortable than at
present.
The steamer is owned and controlled
by Perrysburg parties, and will be
registered and taxed as Perrysburg
property, with our fellow townsman, Il.
L. Kingsbury as manager. Homer
Gregory, who for several years has
been engineer on the w. r. Burt is
also interested in the boat and will be
engineer OF the new boat.
Perrysburg has never had boat
suitable for the river route since the
days of Capt. Lock and his steamer
Cora Lock, and now the people of this
vicinity can.rest assured that they will
have the accommodation they have so
long wished for.
The boat is so arranged that she can
run early and late in the season and
furnish comfortable accommodations
for her passengers and Manager Kings
bury informs us that she will be put on
the route just as early in the Spring us
is possible.
Mr.. Kingsbury has gone to
Wisconsin and will make the trip
from Green Bay to Toledo on the
steamer. On arriving at roIodo the
boat will be laid up for the Winter aud
when she comes out in the Spring our
people will have reason to be proud of
their river steamer.
Here is success to Manager Kings
bury and his associates in their new
enterprise.
