"The Sloop Emperor. The Story of a Stanch and True Old Boat. (Special to the Eagle) Port Jefferson, Long Island; February 10, 1895. The sloop Emperor rides peacefully at anchor in Port Jefferson bay for the sixty-sixth winter. This once famous old craft has an interesting record extending back to the good old days when such property was considered valuable, and a person with ready cash was always eager to invest it in such a boat. The Emperor has always proved a money maker from the day she was launched. ... In the spring of 1828, Captain Caleb Kinner of Port Jefferson, contracted with Messrs. Zephaniah and Israel Hallock, ship builders of Derby, Connecticut, to build him a sloop. The firm was instructed to build a vessel which would prove to be a fast one. How well they succeeded is shown by the Emperor's record. At this time Elisha Bayles was the boss caulker on Long Island, and of course was sent for by the Messrs. Hallock to work on the new sloop. Elisha, with his son Alfred and brother Lloyd, embarked in a yawl boat and together rowed the Long Island sound and up the Housatonic river to Derby, a distance of forty miles. They caulked and rigged the sloop and assisted with the launching. It was taken at once to Port Jefferson and placed on the route as a packet, where it remained for 30 years. ..." (language: en)
