Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hudson River was the cradle of American steamboating. While many people think of steamboats on inland rivers like the Mississippi, the type of steamboat that evolved on the Hudson was far more typical of those that operated throughout North America. From Robert Fulton's steamboat through the last steamer on the river almost 170 years later, these boats were an integral part of the life and commerce of the Hudson River valley. Whether it was a huge 400-foot side-wheeler, a small freight boat, excursion boats, or a ferry crossing, almost every river community was served by a steamboat.

Download or read book Hudson River Steamboat Catastrophes written by J. Thomas Allison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the mid-1800s, steamboats carried people between New York City and the Albany area on the Hudson River. Romantic images lull us into believing it was a quiet means of travel, but a crowded river, faulty equipment and the bravado of the captains resulted in at least one major catastrophe every year. Night boats collided and sank, carelessness caused boiler explosions, races put passengers at risk and fires would quickly swallow the wooden vessels. The grand "Empire of Troy "suffered many collisions. The "Swallow" broke in two on a rock, "Reindeer"'s explosion took forty lives at once and the "Oregon" and "C. Vanderbilt" entered into an epic and dangerous race. Collected from eyewitness accounts, these are some of the most exciting and frightening stories of peril aboard steamboats on the Hudson River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ter-Centenary of the Hudson: And Centennial of the Steamboat The fall of 1909 will witness the striking and important joint celebration of Hendrick Hudson's discovery of the Hudson, three hundred years ago, and of Robert Fulton's epoch making experiment in steam navigation in 1807. Imposing observances, religious, musical, literary, historical, military and naval, will mark the occasion and the whole Hudson valley will participate. On Saturday, September 25, the Half Moon and the "Cler-Mont" are to be officially received in New York harbor, and on the evening of that date there is to be a grand night pageant and illumination off Riverside Drive, which will probably be the greatest event of its kind in the history of New York City. An historical parade will mark Tuesday, September 25th, and a military, Thursday, September 30th, both in New York City. A facsimile of the "Half Moon," Hudson's ship, and of the "Cler-Mont." Fulton's steamboat, will be a part of the great naval parade which will start from New York, Friday, October 1 st, and pass on up the river by slow stages, till Troy is reached, Saturday, October 9th. No such celebration has ever been seen in America before and the thousands of visitors will be amply entertained and greatly edified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traveller's Steamboat and Railroad Guide to the Hudson River: Describing the Cities, Towns, and Places of Interest Along the Route, With Maps and Engravings At length the boat was finished, and the day arrived when the trial was to be made. To me it. Was a most trying and interesting occasion. I invited many friends to go on board and witness the first successful trip. Many of them did me the honor to attend, as a matter of personal respect but it was manifest they did it with reluctance, feigning to be partners of my mortificar tion, and not of my triumph. I was well aware that, in my case, there were many reasons to doubt my success. The machinery was new, and ill made and many parts of it were constructed by mechanics unacquainted with such work; and unexpected difficulties might reasonably be presumed to present themselves from other causes. The moment arrived in which the word was to be given for the vessel to move. My friends stood in groups on the deck. I read in their looks nothing but disaster, and almost repented of my efforts. The signal was given, and the boat moved on a short distance, and then stopped and became immovable. To the silence of the preceding moment.
