Uncle Sam (sidewheeler 1852) : ウィキペディア英語版
Uncle Sam (sidewheeler 1852)
''Uncle Sam'', was a side-wheel paddle-steamer, first steamboat on the Colorado River, in 1852.
In November 1852, the ''Uncle Sam'', a 65-foot long side-wheel paddle steamer was brought by the schooner ''Capacity'' from San Francisco to the Colorado River Delta by the next contractor to supply Fort Yuma, Captain James Turnbull. It had been built in June 1852 in San Francisco by Domingo Marcucci and disassembled for shipment.〔( Scott, Erving M. and Others, ''Evolution of Shipping and Ship-Building in California, Part I'', Overland Monthly and Out West Magazine, Volume 25, January 1895 ), p. 15; from quod.lib.umich.edu accessed December 14, 2014〕 It was assembled and launched in the estuary, 30 miles above the mouth of the Colorado River. Equipped with only a 20 horsepower engine, the ''Uncle Sam'' could only carry 35 tons of supplies, taking 15 days to make the first 120 mile trip.
''Uncle Sam'' made many trips up and down the river for four months to finish carrying all the supplies for the fort, improving its time up river to 12 days. Negligence caused it to sink at its dock below Fort Yuma, and was then washed away and lost before it could be raised, in the spring flood of 1853. Turnbull who meanwhile had returned to the Delta from San Francisco with another cargo and a more powerful engine for the Uncle Sam.〔( Sixteen Days later from California, Col.3-4, New York Times, August 10, 1853 )〕 He returned to San Francisco, for a new hull, while the army sent wagons to recover the cargo from the delta again. However, Turnbull in fnancial difficulty, disappeared from the city leaving creditors unpaid. Nevertheless Turnbull had shown the worth of steamboats to solve Fort Yuma's supply problem.〔( Richard E. Lingenfelter, Steamboats on the Colorado River, 1852-1916, University of Arizona Press, Tucson, 1978 ), pp.10-11〕
