Steamer Maloy Reaches Macon From Oc Mulgee
Delegations from Macon greeted the Maloy steamboat built at Abbaville for Oc Mulgee as it reached Macon and anchored at Sixth Street. The voyage up the river was slow due to a near new channel and trees blocking the way. A shortage of dry wood forced the vessel to burn green wood, reducing speed and leaving the ship with only thirty pounds of steam at arrival.
