lakes and the Erie Canal, and tied her
UP to an ice-boat at the foot Of West
Ninety-seventh street
The Nina is forty feet long, and about
as curious craft as can we'll be imag

proposed voyage is the fact that she
was built from stem to stern, single
handed, by Freitsch. He also made her
sails and PAINTED her, in a rather crude
style, all by himself.
Freitsch laid the Ninas keel at Mil
waukee in February, 1893. 1t took him
five mouths to complete and launch her.
The Nina's material cost $500, and, esti-
mating his labor at $500, the boat stands
