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

August 8, 1845. Albany Journal (Albany, New York). Albany Thirty-six Years Ago. We are indebted to Mr. BOGART, of Aurora, for a copy of the Albany Gazette of June 1, 1809. In looking through its columns we are enabled to judge of the inroads which time has made upon us. The following Advertisement enables us to form an estimate of the Trade and Commerce of Albany, upon the Hudson River, in 1809: Albany Sloops. THE undersigned Masters of vessels in the Albany trade, respectfully inform the citizens of New-York, and the public in general that in future the general place of rendezvous in the city of new-York for the vessels belonging at the city of Albany, in said trade, will be at LENT's New Bason, in the East River (next west of Coenties Slip) where they solicit their usual share of public Patronage in the line of their business. John Bogart, David Olmsted, Peter Donnelly, Jahazael Sherman, Peter Donnelly, Jun. Randall Bentley Hamilton Boyd, James Keeler, Henry Green, R. S. Van Rensselaer, James LaGrange, Isaac Keeler, Arie LaGrange, Jasper S. Keeler, Peter P. Dox, Horace Lockwood, Jacob S. Pruyn, Selleck Whitney, Jacob Barney, Richard Winslow, John Y. Staats, Anthony Van Santford, Isaac Hempsted, Isaac Hand. Albany, Feb. 27, 1809 There was then, comparatively speaking no Western New York, and with the exception of a Landing at Erie, Pa. and a small town at Detroit, no "Far West". Of these Sloop Captains, or "Skippers"; as they were called, JOHN BOGART, JAMES KEELER, JASPER S. KEELER, SELLICK WHITNEY and RICHARD WINSLOW, are the only survivors. They, with the exception of JAMES KEELER, who has removed to Wisconsin, still reside in this city. JASPER S. KEELER is engaged in a Transportation Company upon the River that alone does four times as much business as all the Commerce of the Hudson amounted to Thirty-six Years ago. Capt. JOHN BOGART, who commanded a Sloop on the Hudson 70 years ago, is still in good health among us. In 1777 he went with his Sloop, by order of Gen. SCHUYLER, to convey the Wife of a British Officer, who came from Canada, to Head-Quarters at Peekskill. Gen. MCDOUGLE [?], then in command at Peekskill, furnished Capt. B. with a flag-of-truce and he proceeded with his Lady passenger to Fort Washington, where he delivered his charge to Gen. KNIPHAUSEN, a Hessian Officer, of the British Army. Capt BOGART is now 84 [?] years old. He rendered services, during the Revolution, for which we believe he enjoys, as he deserves, a Pension from Congress. August 22, 1845. Albany Evening Journal (Albany, New York)
Accident on the River. The Steamer "Express", on her last down trip, was run into by a Troy sloop near Coeymans landing. A deck passenger was instantly killed, and one or two others injured. A Card from the passengers of the "Express" will be found in another column. - We forbear to speak of the culpability of the Capt. of the sloop, in causing this collision, as we understand the subject is undergoing judicial investigation. |
