Upgraded page

Page was tagged with Wikify tag.

Wikified entire page, updated ship infobox, used existing text and verified with DANFS, made some very minor fixes, updated links to ships, and provided various other links not yet linked. Added See Also, cats, etc.

Revised front-end of page to provide a brief summary as intro paragraph.

Added "See also" to the "Hunter Wheel" after the 2nd paragraph as the mechanism of this wheel is described there and is an interesting developmental invention, though not practical.

No illustration found at either DANFS sites.Wikited (talk) 17:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Baltimore & Liverpool Steamship Co.?

After the end of the Civil War, John Henderson of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, was bidding for a mail service running between Baltimore and Liverpool. The railroad owned the Baltimore & Liverpool Steamship Co. The Railroad bought 4 ships from the Navy. They were the Allegany, the Carroll, the USS Glaucus (1863) renamed Worcester, and the Somerset; the Railroad decided to retain or change the names to Maryland counties. The vessels were originally built for coastal use, however the new owner set out to use them for carrying freight and mails on transatlantic routes. The company won the contract, and it ran the last Baltimore - Liverpool - Baltimore run on 15 September 1868 after which the service was closed down. The Allegany was placed on the New York-Baltimore run and was wrecked off Long Island on 5 December 1865.^[1]^[2]
