" Long out of print, here is a book that documents the 147 year history of the steamboat service between New York and New Jersey shore. Paralleling the steamboat service that extended to the Bayshore area of New Jersey, the Shrewsberry River and the Atlantic Ocean, this book is similarly divided into three sections. Handsome maps complement the text and the 93 superb illustrations. Detailed checklists offer valuable statistical information on the more than 200 steamboat plied these the local waters. Nine particularly outstanding illustrations (including painting by renowned steamboat artists James Bard and Samuel Ward Stanton) have been beautifully reproduced as full-color plates and individually tipped in by hand. Assembled from museums, libraries, and private collections, the pictorial contents are a rare treasury ofthe boat memorabilia. This book also includes much information, photos, and timetables on the Central RR of New Jersey's Sandy Hook Route, going back to the beginnings of the operation." "Color, black/white photos and line drawings of most-if not all- of the steamboats that operated in Sandy Hook Bay, the Navesink River and between New York City and the New Jersey Bayshore area. Includes descriptive text, official railroad and steamship color views, menus, timetables etc. Perhaps the most detailed publication ever on New Jersey Shore steamboats.
