All Over The State

1916

A most successful as well as profitable round trip from New York to Buenos Ayres was completed by the five-masted schooner, Harwood Palmer. She went out from Norfolk with coal and back to New York with linseed, four months and 27 days being occupied on the double voyage. The vessel stocked the comfortable sum of $145,000, which goes to show that there is still some money in the shipping business.
