The Cincinnati Public Landing by 1825 had shipbuilding facilities.^[1] It was described in 1841 as a space of nearly 10acres, with a front of almost 1000feet.^[2] In the age of steamboat transport, the public landing was frequently jammed with riverboat traffic with 5,000 arrivals and departures per season.^[3]
