In New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic Seaboard, if you order "steamers", you get a bowl or deep plate of a dozen littleneck quahog #clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) swimming in a delicious broth of white wine, butter, garlic, and parsley, with crusty bread.

In New England, if you order #steamers, you get soft-shell pissclams (Mya arenaria), with a cup of brine (to wash off the sand) and melted butter on the side and a wedge of lemon. They are gritty and taste mealy, they are awful. So disappointing.

_The Evening Post_, 4 February 1925:
PACIFIC ROUTES
WHICH WAS FIRST STEAMER?
LONG DEBATED QUESTION
The records of early steam navigation in the Pacific are difficult to trace, and the question which was the first steamer to cross that ocean took some time to decide. The evidence seems to be with the paddle steamer Golden Age…
… the Golden Age and Monumental City cross[ed] in 1854 [and] some smaller paddle boats staggered across in the ’sixties, to the goldfields of Australia…
…She arrived at Liverpool from New York in 1853, and from there made a record voyage to Australia.
On her transpacific voyage she left Sydney on 11th May, 1854.… she was built of wood, and … the whole hull was diagonally braced with iron.…

The Golden Age was a side-wheel steamer, and was the property of the New York and Australian Steam Navigation Company, which proposed to build five more like her for trade on the route she pioneered. But her voyage was not a financial success.

_The Evening Post_, 6 December 1924:
      LONGEST VOYAGE TO DOMINION
  The longest passage to New Zealand is said to have been made by the tug Lyttelton. She was built by Scott Russell’s yard alongside the Great Eastern in 1859; the small of craft was but 75 feet [23m] long, and after undergoing her trials, she… got away from the Thames in mid-August, 1859, and was at Cape Verde Islands by Christmas Day. In… time the Lyttelton anchored off the Cape Coast Castle, sold off part of her patent fuel ballast… and ambled onwards as far as Fernando Po. Her coal gave out before she reached Walfisch Bay, but by 27th April, 1860, she dropped anchor in Cape Town harbour. Here she remained until the end of July when she received orders… to go ahead by sail only. Almost precisely a year after the start of this voyage, the minute tug struck heavy weather off the Leeuwin (Western Australia) and, incidentally, made her best day’s run, drifting stern-first to leeward 104 miles in a day! On 23rd November, 1860, 462 days out from London river, the Lyttelton arrived at #Wellington. By that time insurance money had been paid on her and the company for which she had been built had gone into liquidation.
