Footnotes

edit
  1. ^ Fields left blank in the table indicate that the information is unavailable or unknown.
  2. ^ a b Name = ship name. Where the ship had more than one name in the course of its career, later names are listed chronologically in descending order, with each name followed by a two-digit number representing the last two digits of the year the rename took place, where known.
  3. ^ a b Yr = Year the ship was launched where known, otherwise, year the ship was completed or entered service.
  4. ^ a b Ship tonnage.
  5. ^ a b Abbreviations in this column include: SBC - Steamboat Company; RRC - Railroad Company; SSC - Steamship Company; SNC - Steam Navigation Company; TC - Transportation Company; SPC - Steam Packet Company.
  6. ^ a b Tp = type of engine. Engine types include: VB = vertical beam (ie walking beam); HB = horizontal beam (Lighthall patent); ST = steeple; CH = crosshead; SL = side-lever; O =oscillating; V = vertical (ie vertical inverted direct-acting).
  7. ^ a b No = number of engines.
  8. ^ a b Cyl = cylinder size in inches.
  9. ^ a b Str = stroke of engine in feet.
  10. ^ [21] Heyl erroneously names the builder as "Lawrence & Sandford", apparently confusing the builders with the owner. There was no such shipbuilder as "Lawrence & Sandford"; the builder was Lawrence & Sneden.
  11. ^ [74] Heyl incorrectly lists the launch date of this vessel as 1853; in fact it was 1859.
  12. ^ According to Heyl, the engine for this ship was originally installed in the Lake Erie steamer Empire State, then in the Lake Erie steamer Western Metropolis in 1856, before being installed in the 1863 Western Metropolis.[87] Since Baughman lists neither Empire State nor the Lake Erie Western Metropolis among the vessels powered by Morgan Iron Works engines,[88] presumably the engine listed here was a rebuild by the Morgan Works of another company's engine.
  13. ^ [96] Heyl notes that the spelling of Saikio in the last name recorded for this ship is uncertain.
  14. ^ Few engines built under Roach management are listed as Roach had a second marine engine facility at Chester, Pennsylvania and records generally do not distinguish between the output of the two plants.
