FIRST TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER.
49, - EE#=EH
She Was an American Vessel Using Both
Sails and Steam.

She Was an American Vessel Using Both
Sails and Steam.
The first steamer to cross the Atlantic
was an American vessel called the Sa-
vannah. She was steamship, ard used
both sails and steam, and was built by
Croker 81 Pickett ut Corlear's Hook in
New York city. The present belief is
that she was built by o party Of capital
lists who intended to sell her DO some
foreign monarch. She was commanded
by Captain Moses Rogers and was a
ship rugged vessel Of nearly 400 tons.
She had O horizontal engine, which was
placed between her decks, andaher boil
ers were i'm the lower hold.
1t is generally admitted that the Sa-
vannah sailed from New York in 1919,
going to Savannah, her namesake, in
seven days, four of which she used
steam. There she was chartered by the
city corporation to go TO Charleston TO
take President Monroe, who was then
travelling through the states on o pleas
ure excursion. He failed to accept the
invitation, and the boat returned TO Sa-
vannah. After remaining at this port
for some days and taking out parties
Of curiosity "a well as pleasure seekers
the Savannah sailed for Liverpool,
reaching il after o voyage OF 10 days,
seven of which were made under steam.
The arrival of the strange looking yes
sci. with huge clouds Of smoke ascend
ing from her decks and obscuring her rig
ging. caused quite q commotion when
abe entered 81. Georges channel on
the city of Cork, and the commander oi
the British maii-of-war lying In the
harbor thought she was a vessel in dis
tress and sent two cutters to board her.
Everything found all right. however,
the Savannah was allowed TO proceed
ON her way, and thousands Of people
greeted her as she steamed mp the Mer.
sey to Liverpool with the American
flag flying at her head. The Savannah
then made a trip to Copenhagen, Cron.
stadt and st. Petersburg and then re.
turned to this country, where she wa:
relieved of her steam apparatus and
for many years ran as o packet betweeE
New York and Savannah. finally going
ashore and breaking up on Long Island.
