Excerpt: ... tons. They had a single beam engine, cylinder 50 ins. diam. by 10 ft. stroke, paddle wheels 22 ft. diam. by 9 ft. face; two return flue boilers, grate surface 97 sq. ft., heating surface 2706 sq. ft., steam pressure 30 lbs., cutoff at half stroke, revo. 26 per min., speed 16 miles an hour. The boats were the first to have a saloon on the upper deck, and to have the buckets on the paddle wheels half the length of the face, and staggered in order to prevent the jar, and the boats when under way were in fact very steady. They were sold to the U. S. Government to run between Annapolis and Havre de Grace, and two others, "Clifton" No. 2 and "Westfield" No. 2, were built to take their place.
