- THE SARATOGA
The steamer Saratoga, in her day one of the most elegant and popular craft on the Great Lakes, was built in 1846 by Moses & Sanford, at Cleveland, for Messrs. Winslow, of Cleveland, and Walter Joy, of Buffalo, for the Buffalo and Chicago trade. After running in that line for several years, she was transferred to the Buffalo, Sandusky and Cincinnati railroad line. She was 800 tons burden and was besides one of the most popular passenger vessels on the lakes. Her commanders were Captains Charles Stannard, D. P. Nickerson and Captain Glazier, of whom the two latter are still living. In 1854 the Saratoga was wrecked at Port Burwell. The engraving here presented will give an excellent idea of this magnificent steamer. Her popular commanders and officers will be long and gratefully remembered by the many thousands of travellers whose good fortune it has been to enjoy their companionship on the voyage between Chicago and Buffalo, in the palmy days of lake navigation. - Date of Original
