Bellevue Leader, Bellevue, Iowa, May 9, 1877

Steamer “Dorchester”

Capt. Marsden, of the steamer “Dorchester,” has been busily engaged for the past ten days putting new machinery into his boat. Her power will be twice as great as before. Mr. Willie Wilson, of this town, made her engine out and out. Mr. Wilson is gaining an enviable reputation as an engine builder. The “Dorchester” will, when she is completed, run much faster than she did before these repairs.
