Southerner (Steamboat), 1 Jul 1847

The SOUTHERNER, a new and splendid boat now building at Monroe by Field and Sterling, will be out about the first of September. She will be about 600 tons burden and will run between Buffalo and and Monroe.
This will make four boats now owned at this flourishing town, and is is in contemplation to have a daily line of them next season. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

      SOUTHERNER. - This is the name of a steamboat which we saw lying at the wharf, near the foot of Commercial Street, yesterday. She is not a NIAGARA, or SULTANA, or BALTIC, in point of finish, but seems to be a strong, substantially built boat, and well adapted to the all-weather business of our lakes. We should think, from her appearance, that there is yet an upper cabin to be built upon her hurricane deck.
