STEAMER NOTES.
The Boston & Bangor Steamship Co.
added the fine new steamer City of
Rockland to their fleet, and she arrived
here on her first trip June 10Th. She is
nearly a counterpart of the City of
Bangor. The Bangor and Rockland
made daily trips, Sundays excepted
during the summer. The Penobscot
was leased TO the Joy line and ran be-
tween New York and Providence dur
ing the season, but resumed her work
on the Boston & Bangor line in the
fall the other boats hauling off Sept
Both. They ran later than usual on &C
count of heavy freight business. Sept.
18th the company was re-organiZed and
It's control passed into the hands of G.
w. Morse, who controls all the steam
boat lines running between Boston and
the Maine coast.
Capt. Frederick W. Coombs secured
in June the contract to carry the mails
between Belfast and North Islesboro
for four years. They had been carried
on the Silver Star for four years. Capt.
Coombs bought the steamer Guinevere,
heightened her 20 feet, and changed her
name to Edna. He gave up the CON
contract in the fall, and the mail was
carried for time by the Silver Star,
but in December it was changed to the
old route by stage to Northport and
across in a boat.
The steamer Marjorie ran between
Belfast and Brooklin until April 18th,
but was found to be too small for the
route. In June the Castine took the
route, but was taken off when the ex-
cursion business began. The Florence
began on the route in October and is
still running, making three trips per
week.
The Silver Star continued on the Cas-
tine, 1slesbOro and Belfast route as
usual, making two trips daily through
the summer season and one round trip
daily the remainder of the year.
