The "Dove" was running on the course of Route 5001 that was contracted by the trip. It is not known if this steamboat was running as a contract boat in April 1848 when this bill of lading was carried. The "Dove" of 237 tons was built at New Albany Ind. in 1848 and enrolled at Louisville that year and this must represent an early trip for this vessel.
