The above lists make a total of 33 vessels launched from that yard, 

 comprising one steamer, 7 barks, i barkentine, 7 brigs, 1 1 schooners, 6 

 sloops, with an aggregate (registered) oi'8,964 tons. In 1870 the largest 

 vessel ever completed in a Suffolk county — perhaps in a Long Island — yard 

 was launched from the yard of David Bayles at East Setauket. This was 

 the full-rigged ship Adorna, built by Capt. James Davis for the cotton 

 trade between New Orleans and Liverpool and still engaged in foreign 

 trade, though now sailing under the German flag. She registered 1,460 tons 

 and has a capacity of over 2,000 tons. Capt. Davis, who was largely interest- 

 ed in the cotton trade and had made a great deal of money, set out to build 

 the largest vessel afloat, and spent much money and time in collecting 

 material at Boss Bayles' yard ; work was begun and the frame put together 

 for a ship that was to measure 235 feet in length, 40 feet beam, and 31 

 feet in depth; but owing to some speculations that turned out disastrously 

 Capt. Davis' resources were crippled and he was forced to abandon the un- 

 dertaking ; the frame was finally sold to the New Jersey Railroad Co. , by 

 whose direction it was cut down to a depth of 20 feet, finished as a propel- 

 ler or steam coal barge, carrying over 2, 000 tons, and named the Wilkes- 

 barre.
