To captains and ship owners. Kensington Screw Dock, Penn Street above Maiden, Philadelphia The above establishment has been recently refitted and is now in perfect order for the raising of sailing vessels or propellers, having been in successful operation since 1830, without a single mishap, it is with renewed confidence that proprietors ask for a continuation of patronage heretofore enjoyed. Vessels sail or float into the dock and are raised without strain on any one part. Bilge blocks being worked in such a manner as to take the vessel in her natural shape. The dock is located in the most enterprising part of the town, in the immediate neighborhood of the largest ship yards, black smith shops, mast yards, riggers, block makers, plumbers, painters, &c. &c. with ample depth of water at the wharves for the largest vessels. Watchman always on the premises, also a fire plug on the premises with Schuylkill water with over 300 ft. hose, & can be reached by Glenat's Second Street Omnibusses [sic] at any time during the day.
