The New Ferryboat Havana. 



Of two former Brooklyn, N. Y., ferry- 

 boats now being completely overhauled 

 and rebuilt, one will be taken to Ha- 

 vana this month for service in the harbor 

 by the Havana Central Railroad. This 

 boat was formerly the West Brooklyn 

 and ran between South Ferry, New York, 

 and Brooklyn. The entire superstruc- 

 ture has been rebuilt, painted white and 

 the lettering all translated into Spanish. 

 The boat's new name is Havana. 



The ferryboat has started on her trip 

 to Havana. A crew of nine men will man 

 her and a tug will tow the boat to her 

 new field of work. It is expected that 

 the trip will consume twenty-one days. 



The Western Railways of Havana are 

 now preparing to extend their tracks 

 through the town of Alquizar, towards 

 the southeast, reaching the Cojio beach, 

 where a port will be established. This 

 mav mean much for the southern coast.
