SCHOONERS OF THE HUDSON as of 1865 and Later
as Recalled by Capt. Moses W. Collyer
The style of the names shows a progression through
the sentimental, the patriotic and the political, then to
the prosaic, and finally, in the successors to the sloops
and schooners, we reach the mere numerical in the big
scow-barges which now carry upwards of five hundred
tons of brick or crushed stone.—W. E. V.
