The shore end was landed after a risky tow and the splice completed under champagne christening by Governor Gage's daughter. The operation marks a major commercial milestone with the Silverton set to reel toward Honolulu as cheers echoed along the beach. Districts along the route offered $500 and $400 grants to participants.
