SLOOPS & SCHOONERS

1891

September 24, 1891, Saugerties Weekly Post (Saugerties, N.Y.)
The sloop "Addison", built at Coxsackie in 1819, is still in use, carrying North River bluestone.  At one time her load draft was over ten feet, the depth of hold being only six feet seven inches.  When Hewitt Boyce, her present owner, purchased her he had a portion of the keel taken off and a centerboard inserted.  She draws only nine feet now.  She was built to run for a packet between New York and Albany, and in her palmy days was considered one of the speediest boats on the river.
