Monstrous River Scow and a World of Mixing People
A fragment from the New York Times recounts a vast scow built with labor from American, British, Dutch, French, and Singlishmen crews. The vessel’s value depended on the cow, the date, and tide, as carpenters from the United States joined local workers to assemble and repair ships for the city and plantations. The spring tide produced a dramatic lift as chains and logs formed a raft that finally carried the scow to shore, its decks and rigging intact after the flood.
