THE OLD DEssoTc's LAST DAYS.
The Famous Ship Being Turned In
to Junk in New York.

to Junk in New York.
The historic old steamship Dessoug.
formerly of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's New York and Savannah line,
and which ran several years up to a year
ago between here and Philadelphia, is
being broken up for junk and firewood
in Gregory's shipyard at Great Neck, l.. 1.
The vessel made her last voyage from
Savannah something over a year ego.
She was taken to New York and was fin
ally condemned and sold for a mere song.
She was towed to the Great Neck ship
yard, and has laid there ever since. The
oystermen alleged that when she was
towed into the bay the tide was so low
that the big boat ploughed up valuable
oyster beds. and they had tried to collect
damages.
The vessel is merely hulk now, and IL
would be difficult to identify her as the
once famous Dessoug. She was built as
a pleasure craft for the Khedive of Egypt,
and when the Khedive sent over the ODE
lisk that now stands i'm Central Park the
Desseug was selected to transport it. Be
cause of this distinguished service she re-
ceived an American charter, and later
was purchased by an American company,
and she sailed between New York and Sa-
Vannah for a long time.
