that made from the sale of the fresh

but That Didn't Keep the Britannia
From Sailing o. Time.
Boston harbor froze over in January
Of 1874. and the advertised sailing Of
the Britannia. then in dock. seemed
surely to be impossible. But the mer-
chants of Boston would not have 1t 70.
They met and voted to cut a way, at
their OWL expense. through tho ice,
that the steamer might sail practically
on time.
The contract for cutting the neces-
sary channels was given to merchants
engaged. like Frederick Tudor. in the
export Of ice. but not ice cut from the
harbor. Their task was to cut within
the space Of three days a channel about
ten miles long. For tools they had the
best machinery used in cutting fresh
water ice. and horsepower vas em.
ployed. The ice was from six to twelve
inches in thickness.
As the Advertiser of Feb. 2. 1874. de-
scribed the scene: "A great many per-
sons have been attracted to our wharfs
to witness the operations and the curl.
Gus spectacle Of the whole harbor fro
zen over. and the ice has been covered
by skaters. sleds and even sleighs.
Tents and booths were erected upon
the ice. and some parts Of the harbor
bore the appearance Of a Russian holi.
day scene"
On Feb. 3 the work was done. and
the Britannia. stea ming slowly through
the lane Of open water. lined on either
side by thousands of cheering specta.
tors, made her way to the sea.
