St. Catharines Journal (St. Catharines, ON), February 22, 1838 The Steam Boat Caroline - The history of the Caroline, says the Buffalo Com. Adv., is rather an eventful one. She was built of live oak, some years ago, at Charleston, S.C., and was brought to Albany between which place and Troy she plied for some time. She was then sent by the Erie and Oswego canals to Canada, where a new keel was given her and made a British bottom. Having been engaged in some smuggling transaction she was condemned and sold, thus making her an American boat again. After plying from there to various ports on the lake she went on her ill-fated expedition down the river and met with an end the sublimity of which can scarely be paralled.
