Polyblank, of Newton Abbot, for the Dartmouth and Torbay Steam Packet Co., was laid at the branch works of the builders adjoining the Creek, on the banks of the Dart. Mr. W. Smith (Chairman of the Company] drove the first rivet, and afterwards addressed those present, wishing success to the builders and the vessel. Mr. C. Polyblank acknowledged the compliment paid to the builders. Mr. W. Cranford submitted a vote of credit to the Company, coupling with the sentiment the names of the managers (Messrs. Tolman and Punchard). The former gentleman replied in a happy speech, which closed the ceremony.'[1]
