EAST SHORE NEWS
PENTWATER, OCEANA Co., MICH.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1872
VOLUME II, NUMBER 54.
[extracted maritime records]

        Along The Shore -
        Grand Haven . . . The Engelmann Transportation Co. are so overdone
     with business that much freight is considerably delayed.  Several new
     propellers are now in course of construction and will be ready in time
     to accommodate the increased trade which will result from the direct
     connection with the Pennsylvania Central R. R.

        New Line of Steamers
        As we mentioned in last evening's Wisconsin, J. F. Joy, the rail-
     road king of Michigan, visited our city Thursday last.  Since then we
     learn that he was here on a prospecting tour.  It is well known that
     Mr. Joy owns a controlling interest in the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac
     road, which road will eventually be pushed through to the western part
     of the state, so as to connect with the West Wisconsin Railroad, and
     thus secure some of the trade from Saint Paul.  In the spring of the
     present year, this road, in which Mr. Joy is interested, will put on
     boats between this city and Sheboygan, to run from thence to Pentwater
     on the East Shore, and from thence to Grand Haven, there connecting
     with the Michigan railroads.  This gives Milwaukee another line of
     steamers to the north and another means of communication with the East
     Shore. - Mil. Wisconsin.
