"Presented by John Henry. Well into the 20th century passenger steamers left New York City every night of the year headed eastward on the Sound bound for New London, Newport, Providence and Boston. Grandest of all were the magnificently appointed ships of the Fall River Line, which operated from 1847 to 1937 between New York, Newport and Fall River. Renowned for the opulence of their interiors, the dependability of their service, and their pedigreed passengers, they made the line a beloved American institution."
