| |
"On Thursday night the navigation of this port closed. The steamer Princess of Wales was busy nearly all day towing out vessels. In the morning she took on the ship David Cannon, bound to Liverpool, and in the evening several smaller vessels. The steamer Franconia, loaded with some 12,500 bush. oats, 150 sheep, and a quantity of poultry &c., workd her way through the ice out of port the same evening. Three vessels laden with oats are frozen in at the wharves. Immediately on the harbor freezing up, oats fell to 1s 9d. and could scarcely find purchasers at that price. We shall endeavor to give a fuller statement of the shipping of the week in our next."
-The Protestant and Evangelical Witness, Saturday, 17 December 1864 | | Previous<<< |
