USS Bat (1864) - Subsequent Civilian Maritime Career

Subsequent Civilian Maritime Career

In merchant service, the former Bat operated between ports on the U.S. East Coast—especially New York City and Boston, Massachusetts—and New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1871, she was sold to a Canadian owner, renamed Miramichi and subsequently operated between ports on the St. Lawrence River and in the Gulf of Newfoundland. In 1902, the ship was acquired by the Richelieu and Ontario Steam Navigation Co.; and, soon thereafter, she was scrapped.

Famous quotes containing the words subsequent and/or career:

    “And he smiled a kind of sickly smile, and curled up on the floor, And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.”
    —Francis Bret Harte (1836–1902)

    “I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)
