April 28, 1827 Providence Patriot (Providence, Rhode Island) Rye - 300 bushels North River Rye, landing this morning from sloop Charles, and for sale low, by Seth Adams, Jr. 24 South Water Street. May 4, 1827 Rhode Island American and Providence Gazette (Providence, Rhode Island) Corn, Oats, Rye, &c - Landing from sloop Traveller. 200 bushels white northern Corn. 200 bushels first quality clear heavy North River Oats, selected for sowing; 60 bushels Rye November 26, 1827 Watch-Tower (Cooperstown, New York) Relic of the Revolution. During a late trip of the sloop "Don Ramone", engaged in the lumber trade between Albany and this place, on her return passage she anchored in Newburgh Bay, and upon hoisting her anchor, the crew found appended thereto, a large quantity of frame work, a small portion, only, of which they were able by their utmost strength, to raise above water; it proved to be a part of the Chevaux-de-frieze sank during the Revolutionary War, to prevent the ascent of the British shipping up the river. The sloop's hands were obliged to cut from the frame one of the timbers with a massy iron spike on one end (intended to pierce the bows of the enemy's vessels) to free it's anchor. This piece they brought to this village, it is of hickory about 18 inches in girth and 60 feet in length, and in a remarkably fine state of preservation - the iron has suffered much more materially from corrosion - Westchester Herald
