      LAUNCH OF THE "NORTH STAR" --- The fine vessel built for Mr. F. Van Vieck by E. Sorenson was launched on Saturday at 5 o'clock P. M.
The beautiful sight was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators and as the noble vessel plunged into the water, she was greeted by three rousing cheers.
The steamer SUPERIOR had just left the south pier and in backing out she came opposite the harbor just as the launch took place, and the answering shout from her decks proved, that her passengers enjoyed the scene.
The NORTH STAR is of large size, (over 200 tons) strongly built, fore-and-aft rig, carries a centre-board, and is well adapted for the lumber trade. ---- Manitowoc Tribune
