Season of navigation, 1909 by Harvey Childs Beeson pub. Beeson-Payne Co., Chicago, IL COAL CARRIERS ------------- This list of vessels, comprised of both American and Canadian steam, sail and unrigged vessels engaged in carrying coal on the Great Lakes, contains, with possibly half a dozen exceptions, the name of every vessel in the coal trade. The cargo capacity of each vessel as given is the largest cargo carried by such vessel of which we received a record, and supposedly on as great a draft of water as was in each case compatible with the safe navigation of the vessel. The figures given have been for the most part obtained direct from the owners' cargo receivers. * Following the name of vessel indicates that she is a schooner or barge. Letter H following cargo of vessel indicates that it is hard coal; otherwise cargo was of soft coal. =========================================================================== NAME TONS NAME TONS =========================================================================== Abyssinia* 3627 McGean, John A. 8074 Adams, Thomas 7163 McGregor, Mary A. 880 Admiral 7282 McGregor, Wm.* 1255 Adriatic 7938H McKinney, Price 8172 Adriatic* 1702 McLachlin, Mary E. 3264 Agawa (Can) 5150 McWilliams, J.
