Kingston Chronicle, April 23, 1819

p.3 The ice before the town was broken up on Saturday last by a strong North East wind. - Several vessels from the United States with full cargoes have already taken advantage of this circumstance, as will be observed in our list of arrivals. The flour brought over, we are informed, is bonded under the regulations of the late act of Parliament, for exportation from the Province. The Steam Boat Sophia, built last year at Sackett's Harbor, and intended to ply as a passage boat between that village and Kingston, is a fine commodious vessel, and will prove useful in facilitating the intercourse between the opposite shores.
