Kingston News (Kingston, ON), May 15, 1845

p.2 Lake Erie - The new steamer London has commenced her regular trips on Lake Erie, making the passage from Buffalo to Detroit and back again, twice a week. She performs admirably, and we learn that her ordinary speed is 15 miles per hour. All the papers praise her, and the Americans are satisfied that she can beat all the steamers they have on Lake Erie. One of their crack vessels - the Rochester - came out as the London left Detroit on her first trip and carrying all the steam she could put on, started for a trial of speed. Nothing was done to accelerate the speed of the London, but at that rate she beat the presumptuous "crack" no less than 20 minutes in as many miles.

We understand from gentlemen who were on board the London during her first trip, that some of the harbours on our side of the Lake are in a miserable condition, and very much require the attention of the Board of Works. [Niagara Chronicle]
