Maritime bustle at Weymouth shipyard and harbor arrivals
Steamers Colombia and Iran brought cargoes via Melbourne and London. Dredging contractors Packard of Providence sent the tug Gaspe with a dredge and two scows to deepen the Fore River Works channel at Weymouth. The shipyard works on battleships to avoid grounding, with a tug and dredge fleet aiding the project. The Taurus and Monarch experienced engine trouble in East Boston, while the Walcott sailed to Manzanilla Cuba. Captain Butman of the Admiral Schley fell ill at Long Wharf, and the L P Holmstad arrived from New York to load for Copenhagen. The Devonian sails to Liverpool, Sylvania to Liverpool, and Cunard’s Cambrian to London. Onions from Liverpool/Queenstown arrive aboard the Commonwealth, and a promotion shifts W Norris Magoon to a new official role. Immigration official Powderly spurred activity around Saxonia and Commonwealth arrivals and Charlestown shed improvements. A fleet of lumber-laden schooners then reaches the discharging piers, including the Wesley M Oler.
