1867

 August 1, 1867. Rockland County Messenger (Haverstraw, N. Y.)
 Launch of a Schooner.
Another fine schooner was launched from the yard of Mr. James B. Voris, at Upper Nyack on Thursday morning of last week.  She was built by Messrs. J.B. Voris & Son, for Mr. Charles H. Mills, of Port Monmouth, N. J., who intends her for the market business.  She is named Joseph I. Thompson, and her dimensions are as follows: Keel, 58 feet; hold, 4 feet 8 inches, and is 62 tuns burthen.  The "Thompson" is a beautiful vessel, and everything about her reflects the greatest credit upon her builders as master mechanics.  She was painted by Mr. George Baker, and the joiner work was executed by Mr. Peter Voris, son of the builder.  The iron work of the vessel — all of which is of the best material, and fitted in the finest workmanlike manner — was made by Messrs. Charles Humphrey & Son, of Nyack, well known as master workmen in this line of business.
           
​Mr. Voris has another vessel building at his yard, which will be ready for launching early in the Fall. — City and Country,
