This new, staunch, and beautiful steamer, belonging to Messrs. SPOFFORD, TILESON & CO., designed for the New-York and Havana trade, made her trial trip yesterday, sailing from Pier No. 4, North ...

Sailing ships once dominated the seas, ... In 1819, The SS Savannah was the first steamship ship to cross the Atlantic, although she had sails for propulsion as well.

The steam engine was sold for $1,600 and the ship was converted to a sailing packet that traveled between Savannah and New York until it ran aground in Long Island on Nov. 5, 1821.

More than 100 lives were lost when the ship, Le Lyonnais, collided with another ship about 200 miles off the Massachusetts coast. And now, a group of dedicated explorers has found the wreck.
