The following table from Gov, Eawson's report exhibits the 

 number of vessels which arrived from and departed for the south- 

 ern states at Nassau, from 18G2 to 1865: 



Of these, forty-two steamers are known to have been captured, 

 and twenty-two to have been wrecked, chiefly off the jDorts of 

 Charleston and Wilmington. Thirty-two were confederate ves- 

 sels. Of the twenty-three steamers which remained m the harbor 

 of Nassau, or arrived in it after the Southern ports were taken, 

 twelve cleared for England, four for Halifax, two for Bermuda, 

 three for Havana, one for St. Thomas, and one for Matamoras. 



During the whole period, 18G1-1SG5, 104 steamers, connected 

 with the trade of the Southern States, entered the i)ort of Nassau. 

 Of these, 108 brought cargoes from the coast. Fifty-six are re- 

 corded as having left the port of Nassau, but do not figure among 

 the arrivals from the coast. Fifty-one steamers made but one 

 voyage each, and twenty-three two voyages each. Two steamers 

 made ten trips, and the Syren eighteen. On her nineteenth 

 Toyage she was captured.
