Norumbega Trial Impresses Maine Central Officials
The Norumbega trial at Bath on July 25 impressed railroad officials and builders Kelley-Spear Co and Bath Iron Works. The steamer completed five laps on the Southport mile course, beating the contract speed by one tenth of a mile with smooth engines and low vibration. It will soon enter service replacing the Pemaquid on the Desert Ferry to Bar Harbor route. Capt Dickson will command the vessel, and the Pemaquid will shift to Rockland Castine once Norumbega arrives, altering the timetable.
