Marks Innovation in Ship Building Queer Steamboat
A dispatch from New Orleans reports the arrival of the flat-bottomed steel-hulled steamboat San Salvador from Chicago, bound for Brazil. Owned by Robert Wall and commanded by James Chapman, it draws four feet and cost $15,000 to build. Insurance is scarce due to its odd design, and the voyage is considered perilous for flat-bottom craft. Wall, a Maranham interests holder, had the vessel built in Illinois to dodge Brazil’s import duties.
