CO. II Years Ago.
In view OF the fact that the Now
York and Delaware and Philadelphia
pilots have recently put steam pilot
boats into commission and practically
abandoned sailingboatH for the pur-
rose, many people are OF the opinion
that it is an entirely new thing, and,
as tho Delaware River boat, which was
the first of the two 10 go into service.
was built outside Of Wilmington, while
the Nav York boat, which was com.
missioned soon afterward, was built
by the Harlan IL lIollingsworth Co.,
that tho local concern is not entitled to
priority in the matter of building steam
pilot boats
AS matter of fact the Harlan &c Hol.
lingsw0rth Co. in 1850 built for the
Board Of Maryland Pilots steam pilot
boat named the Pilot, which was placed
in commission in that year in Bati-
more harbor and On the Chesapeake
Bay, and from the best information oh
tainable, it has been giving Inost satis.
factory service ever since.
The tonnage of the boat built for scr.
vice in Maryland waters 10 $50, while
she is l3 foot in length by % feet in
width and II feet . inches depth Of
hold, and, consequently of proper al.
mension for tho service for which she
was buit and in which shs is bolieved
to be still engaged. She is a propeller.
with double cylinder engine, Rnd
26-inch stroke.
While this boat was built II years
ago. she is said TO be- IN excellent con
dition and we'll equipped. Many who
are familiar with the matter are OF tho
opinion that the Pilot was tho frat
steam pilotboRt built for service in
the United States. and il such is the
case the Harlan & lIoliingsworth Co.
is certainly entitled to priority, and. at
any rate is no novice in the matter Of
building steam pilotboats
