SIR GEORGE P0PHAM BUILT FIRST VESSEL The Virginia, Sixty Feet In Length, Made Several Transatlantic Voy ages Seventy Year Before See ond Boat Was Built. (Journal Special Scrrlea.) Bath, Me., Aug. 6. Bath and the neighboring town and villages at the mouth of the Kennebec river today donned holiday attire and otherwise made read for a week' carnival In observance of the 800th anniversary of American ahlpbuilding, for the cele bration of which preparation have been going forward for month pat It waa nearby at Popham Beach, aettled by Sir Qeorge Popham In 1607, where colonist built the first American ves sel and launched it upon the Kennebec. First Vessel launched. This first American vessel was the pinnace Virginia, and she was not much of a craft in comparison with the ves sels of today. But In those days, with scarcely a nail to work with and the builders put to extremes to And the Iron for bands and the toola wherewith to fashion the timber, the completion of the vessel was regarded a a great achievement. The Virginia waa about I 10 feet in length and in modern meas urement would register about 40 tons. She made several voyage between Jamestown and London. After the construction and departure of the Virginia It was nearly 70 years before the keel of another vessel was laid on the shores of the Kenneb' Then Sir William Phlpp established a ard at Woolwich. So the industry grew and flourished. The building of snips has been the principal industry of Bath for 160 year and hundreds of splendid crart have been put anoat during that time, the tonnage amount ing to over 1,000,000 since the time of establishing the government record in 1781. Once the forests of Maine pro vided every stick of timber used in the craft built along the Kennebec. To day only the most unimportant string ers and stanchions are found In the wilderness of the north, nearly every thing being brought to the place of con struction from the west and south. While there is now no such activity In the yards as prevailed up to 15 or 10 years ago, Bath Is still busy and the prospect Is bright Prominent Ken Attend. The celebration which began today will take up the greater part of a week, and not only will include exercises and demonstrations to be held In this city. but also at Popham Beach, where the Industry was created and gradually moved along until It reached Bath, where It continued to remain, making the place famous as the birthplace or more vessels man any otner city or town in the United States. Many of the most distinguished member of both branches of congress have accepted invitations to take part In the celebration, together with the frovernors or several or the New Kng and states and a number of other not ables. Thi evening the opening liter ary exercises are to be held at the Ala meda, with an Historical address by the Honorable Charles E. Allen. Band concerts will be given In the park, and the shores of the Kennebec will be Il luminated br bonfires, while the visit ing warships and all other vessels In the harbor will be Illuminated.
