The Tay Pleasure Steamer Fleet
Pleasure sailing on the River Tay next season will be advance greatly, compared to the year just closing. Besides the two steamers which have been plying the river this season, the Pleasure Steamboat Company, it is definitely stated are to build a new paddle steamer for next year. These three boats however will not complete the fleet for negotiations are about to be opened for the placing of another vessel on the Tay.
