Shipping Channel Opens as Ice Cleared by Town Effort
Harbor Master Samuel C. Wardwell led a large crew to cut a channel through thick ice from State street to the ferry area. The steamer Sagamore and a government tow boat hauled large ice cakes to open water, enabling coal delivery to Newport and Bristol. The effort drew praise for the Town Council, manufacturers, and citizens who helped, though the Sagamore sustained bow damage and required repairs.
