Boston Boat Stops Ends Kennebec line voyage due to cold
The steamer City of Bangor on the Kennebec line of the Eastern Steamship Corporation ended its season early because a severe cold spell froze the river. The vessel faced thick ice and required assistance from the steamer Sezuin. Shippers along the upper Kennebec must switch from sea to rail for potatoes and possibly dairy products. Portland’s Mampel family members attended a Solar Lodge event, noting long-standing membership in the local foundry era.
