MORE STEAMERS
Being Built for the Eastern Steamship
Company.

Bangor people will be interested in
the announcement that the Eastern
Steamship Co. which is building two
new boats. will, if successful in SELL
ing some of the old steamers now
owned, contract for two more. AS this
city is one of the principal ports of the
company. the steamers City of Bangor,
city of Rockland and Penobscot run
ming Letween here and Boston and
many Bangor people being employed
by the concern. especial interest is TAX
en- in the additions to the fleet
The company is at present engaged
in preparing its fleet of steamships for
the spring and summer business. The
Calvin Austin is hauled off and is re-
ceivinS complete overhaulng as
we'll as the State of Maine and many
other steamers of the company.
OF the two boats under constructor
by the company, the first and most
important is a new express steamer
which will be ready in the spring for
the route between Rockland and Bar
HarbOr. This service was formerly
carried OH by the steamer Mount De-
Sert.
The new boat will be 30 feet in
length and will be capable of travel
ling at the high speed of 10 miles an
hour. She will probably be licensed to
carry about 80 passengers and will be
maenificently fitted up in every par
ticular. One of her features will be a
number of parlor staterooms. 1t is
planned to have the new steamer. the
name of which has not been decided
upon, capable of covering the distance
l,at v-an,1 tho two DpintS in about tbren
hours.
The second boat building is being con-
structcd for purposes which have not
been made fully public yet. She will also
be very fast and finely fitted.
The Rockland and Bar Iiarhor boat is
being built by William Mckee Of East
Boston.
The sale of the St. Croix. which was
being negotiated for by Pacific coast par
There is no reason. however. to believe.
the deal has fallen through and the
steamer may Yet be sold. In that event
it means that Il new boat will have To
be built, probably after the style of the
Calvin Austin and Governor Dinglcy.
1t is understood that the company
would like to sell. in addition to the St
Croi>. the steamers State Of Maine ana
Pay State. Ii is believed, however. that
ii is not so anxious to dispose of the last
named as the first two, as She is COM
paratively new boat and in the best OF
condition.
In the event of selling all of these boats
ii would mean that new steamships would
have to be built, ana it is the general
opinion that the company Will build no
more side wheel steamers. but only those
of the Styl, of the Governor Dingley.
The aim of the company is to give the
finest steamship service on the New Eng
land coast and gradually its plan Of get
tiIi2 rid of the Old boats and of building
fire new ones will be carried cut
