History OF the Boat.

The steamer Reindeer, which Is offered
for sale by the Grand Isle Stcambo com
pany. has become widely known through
ont this state and New York. having car
ried countless excursions during the II
years of its existence. The boat was built
by the Grand Isle Steamboat company in
1881 the hull being constructed and launch
ed at Alburgh and towed to this city to
the position the steamer now occupies at
the Central Vermont dock and here tha
structure was completed. 1t is 245 feet in
length over all with i6 foot beam.
The boat was owned by the company
which built her and for the first few years
ran regular trips between this city and
Maquam. Soon the Central Vermont rail-
road secured control of the Grand Isle
Steamboat company and since that time
until this year the Reindeer was used as an
excursion boat with the exception of one
season when she ran regularly between
Burlington and Maquam
The Reindeer has had three captains the
nrst being Capt. l.. Rockwell. now pilot
on the Chateaugay. He was in service
about three years and was succeeded by
Captain Sawyer OF Whitehall. n. Y, who
served about 10 years. Captain William
Newton of this city has been in charge Of
the steamer for about eight years having
previously served on her for nine years as
pilot. Captain Newton has seen more
years of active service on Lake Champlain
than any ether man now living, having
| followed a sailors life for about IS YEATS.
For a period of y years Captain Newton
WAS in the employ of the Champlain
Transportation company AS pilot the
steamers Canada and Adirondack.
