The Telegraph

摘要

The Cincinnati, Big Sandy & Pomeroy Packet Company-otherwise known as the White Collar Line owing to the fact that boats owned by the concern sported twin white bands on each smokestack-had three sidewheel packets named Telegraph. The first, according to Way's Packet Directory, was built in 1864, before the formation of the White Collar Line, and had the hull constructed by the Cincinnati Marine Ways Company, the cabin added by Horsley & Ealer and the engines built by Niles Iron Works. Capt. Washington "Wash" Honshell was master, as well as an owner. The White Collar Line was established in October 1866, and this boat was included, operating for them until dismantled in 1877. Capt. Honshell served as master of several boats of the company before eventually becoming the general manager.
