Plymouth (Propeller), 7 May 1879

Description

Full Text: The propeller PLYMOUTH, owned by Capt. McInness, came out of Mills & Co's dock this morning, having had a thorough overhauling, which included large repairs to her arches and a new stem. She is now in first class condition, and will, as formerly, enter the lumber trade. The propeller POTOMAC went into the same dock this morning for two new Sheriff wheels.

According to a news report at the time (Bay City Daily Tribune), PLYMOUTH's original engine and boiler went into the new steamer OREGON when the latter was built at the Crosthwaite Shipyard at Bay City, Michigan, in 1882. The engine was a steeple compound with low pressure cylinder of 50x40 inches and high pressure of 26 3/4x40 inches. PLYMOUTH became OREGON's regular towbarge.
