Description

The second book of a two-volume set details the histories of 28 excursion steamboats in the New York Harbor and Hudson River in the 20th century During the golden age of steamboating, summer life in New York City meant climbing aboard a grand steamer for a daytime excursion. Drawing on a lifetime of investigation by author Richard V. Elliott with assistance from other prominent maritime historians, this meticulously researched maritime history features • steamboat profiles that include physical descriptions, a rundown of routes and destinations, and tales of mishaps; • histories of passenger steamers spanning from 1901's Thomas Patten through the region's last paddlewheeler, the Alexander Hamilton, as well as a few diesel-powered vessels that closed out the excursion era in the late 1980s; • spotlights on well-known vessels as well as many lesser-known excursion steamboats that are described in detail here for the first time; • rare historical images and paintings by noted maritime artist William G. Muller; • explorations of Coney Island, Playland, and the beach resorts, picnic groves, and other recreation destinations where the vessels delivered millions of passengers; and • a look at the vessels' key role in water parades and other major celebrations in New York Harbor. Embark on a nostalgic journey into New York's maritime past with this look at the excursion steamboats that captured the hearts of generations of New Yorkers and visitors. Full steam ahead!|The second book of a two-volume set details the histories of 28 excursion steamboats in New York Harbor and Hudson River in the 20th century|The second book of a two-volume set details the histories of 28 excursion steamboats in the New York Harbor and Hudson River in the 20th century During the golden age of steamboating, summer life in New York City meant climbing aboard a grand steamer for a daytime excursion.
