About the Item

The Hudson River Day Line by Donald C. Ringwald. Berkeley, CA: Howell-North Books, 1965. 1t Ed hardcover with dust jacket. It was the premier steamboat line on the Hudson River from the 1860s through the 1940s, carrying millions of passengers between New York City and Albany with stops at the major towns in between. The elegant and speedy steamers of the Day Line were widely known and popular with the traveling public. Dust jacket: "Enlivened by remarkable illustrations, this book relates the history of steam boating on the Hudson River from the days of Robert Fulton to the present. Although the emphasis is on the Hudson River Day Line, almost all the companies who operated on the river are also covered, since they were either predecessors, successors or competitors. The men who worked on the river, whether captains or deckhands, took great pride in their occupations, to such an extent that this pride gave the line its special character and color. The author, in his vignettes of the Day Line's personnel, highlights the Yankee flavor of these men. Millions of people fondly remembered the beautiful scenery along the banks, and chose this slower method of transport over the cinders and noise of the much faster trains. Besides, the Day LIne offered art displays, chamber music, cool decks to stretch one's legs and a de luxe cuisine to be leisurely enjoyed. The company stressed PASSENGERS ONLY and so achieved a cachet of elegance the freight carriers could not boast. It reached its zenith of operations in the 20's, and at that time had the largest and finest fleet of steamers to be found on any river. The hard times of the 30's began the decline of the line as a through carrier to Albany, despite a flurry of activity during World War II. Today, only the Alexander Hamilton remains in service, running each summer on a shortened version of the original route. She was the last of the sidewheelers to be built for the line and she's the last of her type in service on American rivers." Owner's name plate Robert F. W. Meader who authored "Illustrated Guide to Shaker Furniture."
