Daily News, May 11, 1899
On the 4th inst. we had a grand demonstration over the launching of Captain Richard Seward’s New Schooner which was christened the “Compania.” Men, women and children, assembled from all quarters nearby and boarded her and crowded the decks, where dancing was enjoyed until the good ship glided gracefully into the water. This schooner is a credit to her builder, and I venture to say will make a reputation for herself as a fast sailor that may justly be envied. She was built for and will be sailed by Captain Seward’s son William, a young man of 20 years, who is also reported to be taking a wife this spring. May “Billy” be successful with both.
